What is a Permission system?

A permission system is the framework that determines who can access, view, or manage different parts of a platform. It defines roles such as Student, Teacher, and Guest, and assigns each role specific rights.

Course focus

Show in calendar

The "Show in calendar" option is now hidden for plan fields in Plan settings.  

Updated Links page

In this release, we have updated the Links page. It is now simpler, faster, and has more consistent look and feel with the rest of the platform.

The Links page is an optional feature that only some courses use, as most teachers prefer to add link lists directly in course materials. When Links is enabled in the course properties, a link to the page appears in the course menu. All course participants can add links on the page.

With this update, we have also simplified the page based on usage analysis and removed the following rarely used features:

  • Exporting and importing links.
  • Manually organising links within a category.
  • Linking to files in a user's personal file area (Your web files) - existing links will continue to work.

Product updates

New, Accessible, and Modern Resource Page

We are introducing a redesigned Resource Page that is more accessible, easier to navigate, and aligned with a modern user experience. This update supports our ongoing commitment to ensure that itslearning works well for all users.

Why we made this change

Accessibility has been the main focus of this redesign. Our aim was to ensure that users can access, manage, and explore their resources without barriers.

To achieve this, we have replaced outdated components with more inclusive and user???friendly solutions. One key improvement is the removal of the old resource tree, which did not meet accessibility requirements. Based on user feedback, we have introduced a more intuitive and accessible alternative: the Content Map.
The new update will be enabled for all users on Thursday, 12 February at 07:00 CET.
