Open LMS Highlights

Snap My Courses new design

The My Courses page has a new design in Snap's theme with several modifications to enhance the page layout and navigation experience.

 

The Snap header was restructured and now you can see a separation of the "My Courses" link from the user profile picture, and the user profile picture now shows user menu items.
The "My Account" link will only be displayed for admins. The Catalog link and the programs' links are already in the personal menu.

Kebab menu on My courses page

The My Courses view for Snap now has a kebab menu in the top right corner of the block with the following options as in the Boost theme:

  • New course
  • Manage courses
  • Request course (if enabled)

Checklist as grading method for core forums

The Checklist grading method is now available for core forums, this is an easy way for the user and teacher to define and view a list of criteria with the associated grade value for each one.
