Released
Vertical Navigation for Admin Interface
We’re introducing a sleek vertical navigation bar for our learning platform’s admin pages. This update will bring a modern look to the admin interface while improving consistency with the front-end experience. Admins will enjoy easier navigation between different administrative functions, enhancing overall usability and efficiency in managing the learning platform.
Welsh Language Pack
We are adding the Welsh language to our learning platform. This addition reflects our commitment to inclusivity and the celebration of cultural diversity. By incorporating Welsh, we aim to enhance accessibility for our users and support the growth of language skills in this vibrant community.
MySQL8
We’re upgrading our database infrastructure to MySQL 8, bringing enhanced performance and security to our learning platform. This update will improve system reliability and enable faster query processing, ensuring a smoother experience for all users whilst maintaining the highest standards of data protection.
Flexible CPD Point Assignment
We’re introducing a new setting to enhance how Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points are assigned: Customizable point allocation for new group members, option to include or exclude past CPD points, & improved alignment with varied organizational policies. This feature provides greater flexibility in managing CPD requirements, allowing administrators to tailor the system to their specific needs and compliance standards.
Enhanced Learning Experience Management
We’re introducing a new feature that allows administrators to manually mark Learning Experiences as complete directly from the interface, with the ability to add reasons and notes for each completion. This update will streamline course management, accommodate offline learning, and provide greater flexibility in recognising diverse learning paths. Look forward to improved transparency and documentation in your learning management process.
Free Text Learning Experience Custom Field
We’re enhancing our custom fields feature for learning experiences by introducing the free text type, empowering Administrators with even greater control and flexibility. Alongside the existing selections field type, admins will be able to add free text fields to learning experiences, allowing them to capture and store additional open-ended information specific to their organisation’s needs. This expansion enables administrators to collect valuable qualitative data, gather internal notes, and gain deeper insights into the effectiveness of learning initiatives. By leveraging the power of free text custom fields, Admins can tailor learning experiences to better align with their unique requirements, ultimately leading to more targeted and impactful learning outcomes.
Learning Experience Custom Fields
We are implementing the ability to add custom fields to Learning Experiences in order to capture additional data. Initially, admins will be able to create selection list fields and apply them to Learning Experiences. This will allow admins to categorise based on custom criteria. This feature provides a foundation that can be built upon to deliver more advanced functionality in the future.
Custom Field Discover Filters
Learning Experience custom fields will soon be available as filters on both the public and default Discover pages. This enhancement will empower learners to easily refine their search results based on the custom fields Admins have defined for Learning Experiences, such as topic, location, language or any other relevant attributes. By surfacing these custom fields as intuitive filters, we’re enabling learners to quickly find content that best match their interests and needs, ultimately improving discoverability and fostering a more personalised learning experience.
AI Translation Tool
The AI Translation Tool is designed to simplify the process of providing multi-language support on the platform. While the platform has always supported multiple languages, this new feature leverages AI technology to make it easier and more efficient for administrators to translate content accurately. Administrators can input text, such as learning experience titles, descriptions, and other platform elements, and select the desired target languages. The AI-powered tool will then generate translations and automatically format the content to ensure compatibility with the platform’s multi-language support. This eliminates the cumbersome and error-prone manual translation and formatting process, saving time and resources while maintaining high-quality translations. With the AI Translation Tool, you can easily manage and expand the platform’s language offerings, making it more accessible to a global audience.
Completion Record Import
A clear and intuitive way for Admins with the correct permissions to seamlessly upload completions in bulk for Objects and Learning Experiences via a CSV file.
Upgrade to Laravel 9
Upgrading our software to Laravel, offers several benefits. It brings enhanced security through the latest patches and safeguards, improved performance for faster application execution, and access to new features and functionalities that can enhance our development process and user experience. Staying up-to-date ensures our application remains reliable, efficient, and well-supported within the active community.
Upgrade PHP

Our goal is to streamline workflows, provide a more user-friendly interface, and improve the overall experience for both new and existing customers.
Playlist/Group Assignment Reporting
Enhanced Playlist/Group Assignment Reporting allows administrators to more easily view and manage which playlists are assigned to each learner group. This feature enhances content management capabilities, providing clearer insights into end user access to training and development resources.
Developed skills appear in the validation box
Once a user marks a Development Measure as ‘Done’, the skills from that Development Measure will appear in the Validate Skills area, reminding the user to assess whether they have developed that skill, and if so add it to their profile or adjust the proficiency level to reflect their development.
Validate skills area design update
The Validate Skills area has been redesigned to make it easier to review and manage your skills. This update optimises space, removes duplication, and improves the overall layout for a cleaner, more organised experience.
Coming soon
Enrolment Automation
A way for the LXP to track the ‘Enrolment Reasons’ for a learner being enrolled on a Learning Experience and then use this information to dynamically unenroll learners if there are no Enrolment Reasons remaining, provided the learner hasn’t completed the Learning Experience so as to keep completion records intact.
Enhanced Content Discovery
We are introducing Open Search to provide an improved, intuitive user interface for content discovery. This feature aims to deliver more relevant search results, making it easier for all users to find the content they need within the learning platform. It will enhance the overall search experience, improving efficiency in locating relevant materials.
Group-based rules for compliance training
Group-based compliance rules will enable organisations to configure enrolment settings through the group that triggered the enrolment rather than at the learning experience level. This allows different groups to access the same content with varying compliance requirements, streamlining content management while maintaining flexibility in compliance enforcement.
Adding Opportunities as target roles in Development Plan
Enabled users to add existing internal opportunities (Internal role, Vacancy etc) as objectives within their Personal Development plan. This allows them to plan their milestones (development measures) towards achieving their targeted role. Its also clear to manager which roles their employees are working towards, and they can see their employees plan for how they will upskill for that role.
