itslearning-2025.8.1 product updates

Update to resource status labels for improved clarity

To make your experience smoother across our tools, we’ve updated the terminology used in the Resources section. Instead of “Active” and “Inactive,” you'll now see “Visible” and “Not Visible.” in the status tags. In the Action menu we have changed “Activate“ and “Deactivate“ to “Make visible“ and “Make invisible“

This change is designed to reduce confusion when switching between Resources and Planner, where similar terms had different meanings. It’s a small tweak—but one that makes navigating more intuitive and consistent.

Filter by course in global content search

Search results can now be filtered by course on the advanced search and all results pages.

The new filter allows users to search and select courses by title to narrow results to any course they are enrolled in. Selecting a specific course will show results only from that course, while leaving the filter empty will include results from all courses.

Note*:* If the status filter is set to ‘active’ or ‘archived’, the course search will only return courses that match the selected status.

New course import/export tool

Moodle is a widely used open-source learning management system (LMS) around the world. If your organization is moving from Moodle to itslearning, it is now easier than ever to bring your content with you. Courses created in Moodle can be imported directly into itslearning, either individually or in bulk using the bulk import feature. This is especially useful for departments or institutions making a full transition.

The process also works in reverse. Courses created in itslearning can be exported and then imported into Moodle.

If you are using a different LMS, the Common Cartridge standard provides a convenient way to transfer courses between systems, including into or out of itslearning.

The Course Importer and Course Exporter are part of the German Development Project (GDP), a collaboration between four German states and itslearning aimed at enhancing digital education in Germany through tailored product developments.
