Learn365 (v.3.52) | September 16, 2024

New features and capabilities

Flow365

Flow365 enables your front-line workers to consume training on the go, without having to purchase a Microsoft365 license. Front-line workers and deskless employees can use their own phones, laptops, or tablets, or a shared corporate device, to access training through Learn365.

• For an overview of Flow365, see this article.
• For information about how to invite front-line workers to Flow365 via the Learn365 Admin Center, see this article.
• For information about how to manage Flow365 learners, see this article. 

 

The new /services/users/Invitations endpoint is introduced in the Learn365 API to view and manage invitations to Flow365 learners.

• For information about how to get a list of pending Flow365 invitations via the API, see this article.
• For information about how to send or delete invitations to Flow365 via the API, see this article.

 

AI assistance

To help catalog admins validate AI-generated content, when creating a course or quiz with AI by adding content from text, it's now possible to choose whether to show a page that displays full information about the course or quiz once it's generated using the Display generated content on a separate page toggle. 

• For more information about how to show this information when creating a course, see this article.
• For more information about how to show this information when creating a quiz, see this article.

 

When catalog admins generate a course with AI by adding content from text, it's now possible to choose whether to additionally generate learning content (such as course and learning plans, outcomes, learning module overviews, and so on) using the Generate learning content (preview) toggle. With this toggle turned On, generated content will be added to the course as learning modules. For more information, see this article.

 

API management

It's now possible to change a user's manager via the PUT /odata/v2/Users(‘{LoginName}’) request in the Learn365 API. For more information, see this article.

 

Updates and enhancements

Asset storage

We’ve changed how assets are stored. By assets, we mean any documents, videos, or images uploaded in the Learn365 Admin Center via the rich text editor, for example, in training or learning module descriptions.

From now on, new course and catalog assets will be stored in the Azure Blob Storage instead of the Microsoft SharePoint storage. Already uploaded assets will stay in the Microsoft SharePoint storage.

From now on, if you copy a course within the same catalog:

• Catalog-level assets of the copied course will remain in the Microsoft SharePoint storage.
• Course-level assets of the copied course will be moved to the Azure Blob Storage.

From now on, if you copy a course across catalogs, all assets in the copied course will now be stored in the Azure Blob Storage.

• For more information about copying courses within the same catalog, see this article.
• For more information about copying courses across catalogs, see this article.

 

Import target skill rules

LMS admins can now edit uploaded skills via the Edit target skill rule panel before importing them. For more information, see this article.

 

Certificate and notification templates

Catalog admins can now use a user's {firstname} and {lastname} variables in certificate and notification templates. For more information, see this article.

 

Purge enrollments

Catalog admins can now purge enrollments via the Course progress and Training Plan progress dashboards.

• For more information about purging enrollments from the Course progress dashboard, see this article.
• For more information about purging enrollments from the Training Plan progress dashboard, see this article.

 

Edit training due dates

Catalog admins can now edit course and training plan due dates from the Course progress and Training Plan progress dashboards, respectively. The Due Date column is added to the dashboard views.

• For more information about editing due dates from the Course progress dashboard, see this article.
• For more information about editing due dates from the Training Plan progress dashboard, see this article.

 

Manage learner certificates

Catalog and course admins can now download and delete certificates from one or more courses and training plans at a time from the following areas:

• The Learner's Progress dashboard. For more information, see this article.
• The Course Progress dashboard. For more information, see this article.
• The Training Plan Progress dashboard. For more information, see this article.

Also from these areas, catalog admins can now edit the certificate expiry date of one or more courses and training plans at a time.

 

API management

When getting information about enrollments via the Learn365 API, enrollment details now include the course duration. You can also update the course duration via the PATCH /odata/v2/Enrollments({Id}) request. For more information, see this article.

 

Audit trail

The list of events in audit trail records was enriched. For more information about events recorded in the audit trail report, see this article.

 

Course session attendance

If an instructor-led training course is unpublished, ended, or scheduled, only the course admins and session instructors will be shown as attendees in its session appointments in their calendars.

Learners who were previously enrolled in sessions of now unpublished instructor-led training courses will receive a session appointment cancellation notification, will no longer see the session appointments in their calendars, and won't receive any further notifications about course sessions.

• For more information on course session management, see this article.
• For more information on instructor-led training notifications, see this article.

 

Resolved issues

Learners registered for instructor-led training sessions were added to the rooms list in notification emails rather than the recipients list.

In certain cases, the numbers displayed in the Training plans section of the Training plans tab on the Reports page didn’t reflect learners’ actual registration statuses for each of the courses in the training plan.

In a certain case, an error occurred when viewing the photograph of a logged in user on the Leaderboard page in My Training Dashboard.

Only some of the subscription banner message was displayed at the top of the Integration connectors panel.

It was possible to give a catalog the same name as an existing one using the PATCH CourseCatalogs({Id)} request in the Learn365 API.

In a certain case, notifications that included the {COURSE DESC SHORT} variable caused a large gap between the header and information columns in the notification email.

An error occurred when trying to edit the name of an API key on the Edit API panel.

In the Learn365 API, after expanding the Course property from Enrollments and selecting to include the BannerImageUrl and ImageUrl fields, these fields were empty in the response.

Learn365 (v.3.50) | July 22, 2024

Updates and enhancements

AI features in the Learn365 Admin Center

AI-powered features in Learn365 have been taken out of preview [#38406]. LMS admins and Microsoft 365 global admins now manage the availability of these features via Global Settings > LMS Configuration > AI features.

While all organizations can access important AI-powered features, your Learn365 subscription plan now determines the scope of the features available to you [#36475].

When Learn365 is first installed, AI-powered features are enabled by default [#38466]. However, LMS admins and Microsoft 365 global admins can disable AI features by setting both the Content generation and Generate from video toggles to Off via Global Settings > LMS Configuration > AI features.

There is an amendment to Zensai terms and conditions relating to the use of AI [#38406]. The new Accept AI amendment to Zensai terms checkbox on the AI features panel will be:

• Selected automatically for all Learn365 installations that happened from April 11, 2024 onwards because these terms were part of the DPA you agreed to at the time.
• Deselected for all Learn365 installations that happened before April 11, 2024, even if you accepted the original AI terms and conditions.

If you want to save any changes in the AI features panel, you'll need to accept the amendment to Zensai's AI terms and conditions.

Admins can now see how many AI requests their organization has made during the current calendar month via the AI usage section in the left-hand navigation panel of the Learn365 Admin Center and in Global Settings. Your organization's monthly request allowance is also displayed here [#38406].
