To begin 2023 we are releasing a new plugin called Personal Development Log and numerous new features, improvements and bug fixes to the existing plugins My Team, Learning Pathways & RoadMap.

Over the past few months we have been working at mitigating any possible schedule task delays, improvements on page load speeds and lots of improvements to our existing plugins which are listed below.

Introducing the Learning Data Store.

The Learning Data Store (LDS) is a home for all of your external learning records. Embracing the paperless world of hybrid working, it is more important than ever to be able to hold all of your learning records in one place.

The Learning Data Store is a new tool within the LMS which allows you to upload your external records from CSV into the platform. You can create different data types, such as External Courses, Certifications, Certificates or any others which meet your needs. Where possible this information will be matched to the learners username, or it can be held independently within Report Builder.

You can report on this information in the same way as any other data within the platform. You can even use this data when setting up Learning Pathways; for example, if your learners have completed induction on a previous system, you can add a Learning Pathways rule to only issue an Induction Pathway if they have not got a legacy record available within the Learning Data Store.

We’re excited to finally be able to share this with you and look forward to your feedback over the coming weeks and months.

Learning Pathways Bulk User Actions

With many organisations using Learning Pathways the number of learner allocations is growing rapidly. To enable you and your managers to effectively manage these allocations we have introduced Bulk User Actions within Learning Pathways Users Tab.

From here you can select multiple allocations and update their Start date, End date or Due date. You can bulk update their completion status, remove their allocation or Send them a message, either using the default reminder message or write your own making use of the available placeholders such as {$a->duedate} or {$a->datedifference} to politely nudge your learners to keep them on the right track. This comes in addition to the recent automated notifications encouraging learners automatically to complete their learning.
