Improved interface and navigation, enhanced accessibility and metadata management and more.<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

New Project Navigation<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sidebar Navigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The project navigation has been moved from the bottom to a left-hand sidebar, allowing for greater vertical screen space. You can switch between a minimised icon version or the full labelled version with a single toggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Project Selector<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The look has been refreshed, keeping the same functionality to enable to easily switch between projects via a dropdown menu, where you can search or select from a pageable list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Role Switch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced Accessibility Panel<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More Flexible Accessibility Criteria<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Images, audio, and video assets follow less strict rules for accessibility. Images marked as decorative or containing alt-text are considered accessible. Audio and video files are accessible if transcripts or subtitles are provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

LO Assets Overview<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The LO Assets button will warn you if any asset fails to meet accessibility requirements \u2014 the red icon will display. When the dialogue is opened, the accessibility status of all assets will be visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Metadata Schema Management<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated Admin Page<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Managing metadata schemas is now easier with a dedicated page in the admin backend. Schemas are marked as either Learning Object (LO), structure, or asset schemas. You can edit, delete, or download schemas as needed. Uploading edited XML files mirrors the asset upload process in the Media Library. The uploaded schema is validated before being applied. In the Product Types, where schemas were previously managed, they can now only be selected and deselected, as with Design Packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Structures Tab Enhancements<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sorting Features<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can now sort assets and Learning Objects by name, title, or last updated date within the Resources panel, making it easier to organise content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Document Activity Enhancements<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DOCX File Support<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Document activity type now supports the integration of DOCX files. Learners will not be able to edit the document, but they can select and copy text, providing more flexible document usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Navigation Options for Digital Books<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Skip to First\/Last Page<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Learners can now jump directly to the first or last page of a digital book with just one click, simplifying navigation and saving time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classroom View Enhancements<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Global Classroom View<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Classroom View option is now a global setting, applicable across all Design Packs. When enabled, free-text input fields are represented by an underline, and recording elements are removed without replacement. These are the features currently configured for the Mercury and MercuryPrimary Design Packs; however, a Design Pack could use the option to control any other visual element of the activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
If the Global Classroom View is disabled, there are free text input fields for the learner to complete. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
If Classroom view is enabled, free text input fields and recording elements are hidden from view. Free text input fields are represented by an underline, while recording elements are removed without replacement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Special Characters and Enumeration Answers<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Extended Special Characters Palette<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The palette now includes symbols for Set Theory, enabling more comprehensive mathematical exercises. Additionally, the Scientific characters palette has been reordered and extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lower-case Alphabetic Enumeration<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enumeration Answers now supports lower-case alphabetic options, aligning them with other enumeration functionalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Block Google Translate for Secure Learning<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced Security<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By default, Learning Objects now block Google Translate and other online translation services, providing a more controlled learning environment. This option, Block Google Translate, can be enabled or disabled in the Learning Object settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
