This release includes enhancements for our learning management tools.
Highlights
Unlock the full potential of your e-learning experience with Access Passes, now available for integration on courses! - Here’s everything you need to know. LEARNING
A new Access Passes page has been added to Das Admin, where Admins can create, edit, and manage existing access passes. Customize your learner experience by associating tags with access passes and adding specific URLs for purchasing content.
Once created, Admins and Instructors can link the passes to specific courses on the course information page in the course builder by selecting the new toggle Restrict enrolling by Access Level within the Rules section. When selected, a new drop-down labeled Access Pass and an additional toggle labeled Restrict access to preview course appear. These additional options allow admins and instructors to choose which access pass to connect and whether they want the course's home page restricted to learners before upgrading.
Depending on how the course access pass is set up by the admin, when learners attempt to access a course that requires an upgrade, they will be prompted to Upgrade Now to access the course or Cancel, either by selecting the tile from the Courses' home page (Restrict access to preview toggle on), or from within the course preview (Restrict access to preview toggle off) when selecting the Access Course button. If a URL has been added to the access pass, learners are automatically redirected to the site specified by the URL upon selecting Upgrade Now in the dialog box and can follow additional instructions on that site or make a purchase to gain access to the content.
If the Upgrade URL field is left blank on the Access Pass, learners are prompted to try back later once a resource has been added to gain access. The update also includes syncing tags from Le Admin to Das Admin, and the ability to associate access passes with Access Level tags.
Wistia videos are now accepted on courses and Lesson parts. LEARNING
Admins and Instructors can now leverage Wistia videos on courses and lesson parts along with Youtube, Vimeo, and Mp4. This update includes the ability to control for percentage thresholds within lesson parts on Wistia videos in Das Admin and the Course Editor and gives learners full access to the video controls once the percentage threshold has been met and the lesson completed, giving admins and instructors more options to customize learners experiences.
