This February, we are focused on giving both learners and administrators more flexibility. From providing learners with more choices in how they complete their learning paths to giving global organizations more control over their e-commerce configurations, here is a look at what has been added to the platform this month.
Instructors and administrators can now add parent courses or templates to a path while displaying all published child course sessions. This empowers learners to choose the specific session—based on date, time, or location—that best fits their schedule. Once the chosen session is completed, the path goal is automatically fulfilled.
To make the learning journey more intuitive, the path name now appears as a secondary header within all courses in that path. This provides a constant visual anchor and a one-click breadcrumb to return to the broader path view.
Saving time during assessment creation is now easier. You can now enable automatic randomization of answer choices for multiple choice and matching questions at the assessment level. This setting ensures that any newly created or imported questions are randomized by default, which is particularly helpful when importing large question banks via QTI.
For organizations operating across different regions, administrators can now configure separate payment gateways for individual organizations. This allows sub-organizations to support different currencies and use their preferred payment providers rather than relying solely on site-level configurations.
Learning with CYPHER Agent is now more personalized and intentional. Before generating content, the agent now launches a Session setup experience to align the session with the learner’s unique needs. Learners are prompted to describe their experience level, identify specific challenges, and define their goals. Based on this, the agent generates a tailored concept map preview for the learner to refine or approve before beginning. For those who prefer to dive right in, a "Skip setup" option is always available.
We have introduced new custom HTML widgets for the center panel of home, course, and group dashboards. These widgets offer greater flexibility for sharing announcements, embedding videos, or reinforcing branding. Users can now choose from two layouts:
