itslearning-2024.1.2 released product updates

Written by itslearning | Jul 3, 2024

Updated look and feel when using or applying course templates

Following the new 'Add course' page, we have updated the look and feel of the pages where you can apply a course template to an existing course and where you can push an existing course template to other courses. 

Both actions can be allowed or disallowed for a user, so might not be available to you.

Don't allow teachers to add organisation groups

When course memberships are primarily handled via an integration, it might not be desirable that teachers add organisation groups, such as as class, to a course. Administrators can now choose to only allow teachers to add individual users, for example substitute teachers, but don't allow them to add whole organisation groups. For this, there is a new option in the list "Manage participants and groups when course is synchronised." called "Only participants". This option can be found on the Course tab under Profiles.

Change course role in bulk

It was already possible to change the role of individual course participants. Now, it is also possible to do this in bulk. For example if you just added a group of teachers for a professional development course and you want to change their course role to Student.

To do this, select the participants for which the role should be changed and choose the "Change role" action from the Action menu.
