  • After you mark a course as complete for learners in an instance or multiple instances, all learners in the course get marked as complete, not just the learners in the current instance or instances.

Update 89: The March 2023 release of Adobe Learning Manager

Release date: 01 April, 2023

What's new in this update

  • Enhancements to the Instructor Led Training (ILT) Experience: Several enhancements have been made to the Instructor-Led Training (ILT) experience. Key enhancements include—ability to filter classroom sessions based on location, ability to switch instances (VILT) without losing progress, a new “Scheduling Assistant” for managing conflicts in booking instructors and classrooms, ability to attach “Skills” to Instructors and choose Instructors based on skills.

  • Improvements to the Observation Checklist: Authors now can select "Manager" and "Store Manager" as the Observer for checklists. Managers can view and complete the checklists within the Manager interface without having to switch role to an instructor. Notification is sent to a manager when a checklist is assigned to him/her.

  • Use Any App/Smartphone Camera to Scan Learning Manager QR Codes: Learners will now be able to use any QR Code scanning app or their smartphone camera to scan the Learning Manager generated QR codes for course enrolment, completion and more.

  • Reporting Enhancements: A new Instructor Utilization report, Trainings Revisit report, Job-Aids report, and other reporting enhancements.

  • Support for ‘Hybrid’ Sessions: Adobe Learning Manager now supports the ability to create “hybrid” Instructor Led Training (ILT) sessions. Virtual ILT sessions can be created with optional location information so that learners can attend the session in-person as well if they are available at the location.

  • Better Progress Tracking for Classroom and Virtual ILT: Classroom and virtual ILT modules now provide the ability to report a learner’s quiz status (pass or fail) along with the attendance status. Hence, both attendance and quiz success can be considered to decide learner progress.

  • Adobe Learning Manager App for Microsoft Teams: The new Adobe Learning Manager app on Microsoft Teams is designed to foster learning in the flow of work and boost social learning. Learners will be able to access learning content within the Microsoft Teams platform without the need to switch over to a browser. Please contact your CSAM for the beta release of Adobe Learning Manager app on MS Teams.

For more information, see What's new in Adobe Learning Manager.

Bugs fixed in this update

Course

  • A Custom author cannot preview a module when the course is in "UNDER_CONSTRUCTION" state. The response shows Error 404.
  • The Course title on the course/add page of an author app overflows when course title cross certain character limit.

Author

  • In the Author app, the title of the course (if its lengthy) exceeds the page boundaries while creating a course.
  • Sometimes, a course gets added, even though no author is selected.

Dashboard reports

  • Tooltips display fine when the interface language is English, but throws a console error when the interface language is different.
  • Rename "Mandatory" to "Required" in Learner Dashboard.

Instructor app

  • The time format in the instructor app is not consistent with the other apps.

Social

  • For certain types of posts, after posting, the social board does not open as expected.

Admin

  • A user with a custom role is unable to download resources when previewing a course.

Email templates

Job Aids

  • You are unable to see the name of the course on the Job Aid widget.

Publishing

  • The module description added in Adobe Captivate is not visible in Learning Manager when the module is published in ALM.

Active fields

  • When a CSV with a large number of records is under process, it takes a significant amount of time, during which, if a user logs in and enters a value for one of the attributes, it might create a new user group that might result in CSV errors. To fix that, when the CSV import is in progress, Active Fields attribute pop-up message is disabled and its re-enabled once the CSV upload is complete.
  • If the column in the Users csv file has the same name as the external users active field, the csv upload fails.

API-related fixes

  • In the learningObjects reponse, the bookmark attribute is missing.

Update 71

Share training with managers

Learning Manager offers compliance dashboard to all Administrators and Managers. Managers find it very useful to track compliance of their team members for a particular training. At the same time, Administrators would like all Managers to add compliance trainings to their dashboard and track it. 

In Learning Manager, the Share with Managers workflow allows Administrators to share training with Managers, so that they can get added to a manager’s Compliance Dashboard. Thus, Managers do not need to take any action and can start tracking compliance immediately. 

For more information, see Share training with managers.

Support for Adobe Connect persistent meeting room

In Adobe Connect, customers use existing meeting rooms that they have already created in Connect. All meeting rooms in Connect are persistent and the meeting room templates are carefully set up to provide a unified experience for each persistent room.

In this release of Learning Manager, integration with Adobe Connect is now enhanced to support persistent room as well. It means that you can now create a virtual classroom session using one of the already created room in Adobe Connect.

Learning Manager now also allows learners to enter the connect room for their virtual session using SSO authentication.

Warning before marking attendance if the session duration is zero

An Author or an Administrator can create a session with duration as 0. It is possible when:

  • Not add a start/end date and start/end time.
  • Add a date, but not a start/end time.
  • Add a date and a start time.

In all of the above, when an Administrator or a Manage or an Instructor marks attendance or completion, the values of the session start date and session end date become equal, which means that in a Learner Transcript, the value Learning Time Spent is displayed as zero.

In this update, a warning message, which states that the session data is incomplete, is shown to the Author.
