Course Administration

Roster Attachments:

Course Search

Improved Course Search:

• The text search used for searching courses and sections has been updated to provide more relevant results based on the terms entered into the search box.

Transfer Credit Administration

Transfer Credit Default Filter:

• On the Manage Requests and My Requests pages in the Transfer Credit module, the default filter value will now be All Approval Types until a user changes the filter value.

• Changing the value will make it the new default filter value for that user.

SCORM Support

Users can use SCORM for courses:

• Course creators can upload a SCORM compliant course package and users can take the course from the course search page.
