Tests and Sections Inside Curriculum Player 2.0
When a curriculum is launched that meets one of the following the requirements, clicking Open Curriculum in a user's transcript auto-launches the Curriculum Player:
- Online Courses
- Videos, Materials
- Tests and Sections
The legacy curriculum player is launched for all other curriculum.
Expandable Child Training Table of Contents
Expandable table of contents displays full child training titles and metadata.
Background Polling to Update Transcript Statuses
To optimize transcript status transitions:
- Background polling now updates transcript statuses every 3 seconds if a completion is detected.
- A new button manually terminates a session if the course needs to be exited in order to meet the completion criteria. This is a fail-safe for courses that require a manual termination.
Rich Text Formatting in Training Descriptions
Users can now use rich text formatting in training descriptions as follows:
- Bold
- Header
- Paragraphs
- Ordered and Unordered lists
- Pre-formatted text
- Emphasis
- Strong
- Italics
- Underline
- Deleted and Stikethrough
- Superscript
- Link
Important: The backend setting to encode training text must be disabled for .html to render. This may be a security issue, so speak to your IT department before requesting this change. If you decide to make this change, contact Global Customer Support (GCS).
Redirect to Post-Completion Activity
- Redirecting to the following post-completion activities is now supported:
- Evaluations
- Training Completion Signatures
- Acknowledgements
If a training requires a post-completion activity, the button in the Curriculum Player redirects to the appropriate page. When the activity is complete, learners are sent back to Curriculum Player 2.0.
Considerations
Important: For the Rich Text Formatting in Training Descriptions feature, for .html to render in training descriptions, Corpsetting ‘EncodeTrainingText’ must be set to false. Customers must sign a liability and security warning in a Global Customer Support (GCS) case to change this backend setting.
