We've just released a change to the way we track learner progress to further improve the accuracy of reporting. Now when a learner is idle for more than 5 minutes, we'll ask them if they are still there, before disconnecting to stop the recording of time spent on the course.
We will also alert learners when their connection is interrupted, and promptly ask them to reconnect so that they don't lose any valuable tracking data.
We're extremely excited to announce the Beta release of our AI assistant for creating course content!
While in Beta, we'll be gathering insights on usage, and feedback from our users before introducing additional features.
While in Beta, the AI assistant will allow you to:
We've just made a long awaited improvement to the Customize enrollment email feature available on Premium plans. The change allows you to edit the email message sent when you share a Course, a Catalog, or Invite a new user to your workspace. This means you can write a unique message for any course or catalog you share with a learner.
This functionality is accessible to any user with the permission to share a course or catalog
For those of you struggling to delete or deactivate large numbers of users, you'll be pleased to hear that we've just released an update to the users page that makes this simpler than ever!
In many cases customers looking to delete large numbers of users are looking to delete users based off their activity status — that is, they are looking to purge those users who have either never logged in, or haven't been active over a period of time.
In light of this, we've moved the User activity report to the Users page, and create a new tab called ‘Activity’. The 'Activity' tab lists every user in the platform, and you can filter them by status; Active, Inactive, or Never logged in. For both the Active, and Inactive statues, you can also select a time period.
We’ve just introduced the ability to invite new and existing learners to a catalog, with the addition of a new access setting that allows only invited learners access to the catalog.
When inviting a learner to a catalog by email, they will receive an email that includes the workspace name, the name of the catalog, and a button that links to the catalog . On clicking the link, they’ll be sent directly to the catalog where they can browse, and self-enroll into the courses they choose.
If you’ve been hesitant to share enrollment links due to the lack of access restrictions, you’ll be pleased to know that catalogs solve that problem with a new access setting that restricts access to ‘Only invited learners’. Now you can share courses for self-enrollment with the confidence that only the learners you choose can access them.
To restrict access to only invited learners, select the ‘Only invited learners’ option from the dropdown menu under access settings.
If you’re on our Premium plan, you’ll be able to customize the invitation email sent to learners invited to a catalog.
From the navigation sidebar, select the setting menu, and click ‘Customize’. Navigate to the ‘Enrollment emails’ tab, then select the ‘Catalog invitation’ option.
Coassemble now sends a confirmation email to learners, and trainers when a learner self-enrolls into a course via an Enrollment link or Catalog.
If your learners are forgetting how to get back to your workspace after self-enrolling, you’ll be happy to know that we’ve introduced a confirmation email that gets sent to a learner when they’ve self-enrolled into a course.
The confirmation email includes the name of your workspace, the name of the course, and link to the course they enrolled in.
If you want to disable enrollment emails, go to Workspace settings > Course notifications screen and switch the ‘They are enrolled in a new course’ setting to OFF.
If you’re on our Premium plan you can customise the confirmation email sent to learners who self-enrol from the Customize page.
From the navigation sidebar, select the setting menu and click ‘Customize’. Navigate to the ‘Enrollment emails’ tab, then select the ‘Self-enrolled’ option.
Included in this update is an email that is sent to trainers each time a learner self-enrols into a course via an enrollment link or catalog.
Included in this email message is the name of the learner and the course they enrolled into.
To disable this email, go to Workspace settings > Course notifications and adjust the settings for the Trainer notification that gets sent when Learners self-enroll into a course.
You can now choose a specific trainer to appear on a course overview for your learners to see!
Now you are able to choose a specific trainer to always appear on the course overview screen. If you want to keep using Group trainers, leave this set to automatic.
Note, if you don’t want any of your trainers to appear here, use the visibility settings to hide this page element altogether.
You can now force learners to watch an entire YouTube or Vimeo video, before a video screen is marked complete!
The addition of support for Vimeo and YouTube videos is a welcome improvement to the enforce video completion feature. Prior to this release, this functionality was limited to uploaded videos only.
Enforce video completion is only available on Premium plans. To find our more about this feature, check out the original release post here.
We've just released course Catalogs!
Catalogs let you create unique landing pages that allow learners to browse and self-enroll into a selection of courses curated by you!
Catalogs has been released in Beta so please send us your feedback to help us make it the best it can be!
For detailed information on how to use catalogs, take a look at the Catalogs article on our help centre.
We’ve just released a change to the trainer sidebar navigation to cater for the introduction of our latest feature release — Catalogs.
Collapsable sidebar
The sidebar can be collapsed to provide more horizontal space. Coassemble remembers your choice, so if you close it, the next time you visit it will remain closed.
Create section
We’ve added a new Create section that contains both Courses, and Catalogs. The course page will remain the default screen, so every time you enter your Coassemble workspace, you’ll still land on the courses page.
Chat / Support button
Our chat support button has now moved into the sidebar from the bottom-right-hand-corner of the page.
Page header
We’ve made a significant cosmetic change to the page header in order to provide more vertical space on most pages in your Coassemble workspace.
Part of this change required us to move the Grade button, and the Learn button (only visible if you are enrolled in a course), to the sidebar.
