2.9 Added Efficiencies for 2022: Scheduled Publishing, Goal Tracking and More!
SparkLearn 2.9 updates start 2022 with content managers on the brain. Not all feature improvements need to be game changers and flashy, but we strive to make your day-to-day just a bit easier with all feature updates we release.
What’s New
External Content Integration
Aligning learning catalogs within SparkLearn via weblink learning objects from a new developer API makes publishing from external systems a breeze. If you have an external learning catalog, we can build an API that links to it, eliminating the need to enter individual courses one by one. Efficiencies that benefit both your end user and your content creation team are a top priority for SparkLearn.
Custom Goals Keep Users on Track
While the default SparkLearn goals settings will remain, we have improved a user’s autonomy over their self-directed goal setting. Users can now work toward goals specific to their learning plan. This feature assists with understanding how to properly set achievable goals as the user can adjust their objectives. Content Managers have visibility and editing permissions into the user’s custom goals in addition to reporting, creating opportunities for feedback and coaching.
CSV Exporting
Managing user data is easier now with a new Export button on the Users page. This automatically generated CSV file contains pertinent fields to organize your users at a glance. Last access date, roles, groups and other key data is downloaded via this function.
Scheduled Publishing for Learning Objects and Courses
Ahead of Time.
Content managers now have the ability to select publish dates and times when crafting any learning object or course. This provides more visibility into their training programs as they can plan content ahead of release dates, building out more learning paths at once and setting the release cadence to fit their content plan.
New Filters for Learning Objects
The Choose Existing Content tab will display two new filters when managing items in the Learning Objects menu or adding Learning Content to Courses. You now have the ability to search by Author or Course in addition to previously existing filters. Adding efficiency to get the user where they need to be, these filter additions are a great way for users to revisit items.
