Open LMS Highlights

Programs plugin integration

For this major release, we have included the Programs plugin, a powerful tool to define sets of courses with customizable order completion criteria. This feature was originally designed for Open LMS WORK and from now on is going to be available for Open LMS EDU users.

The main goal of this integration is to reduce the time of course management and increase productivity at the institution for all learners.

In-App Admin User Onboarding functionality for Programs

With the new Open LMS 4.1 release, we are introducing a new in-app user onboarding for admins! Making it easier than ever for admins to discover and utilize new Open LMS features, and share feedback in the process.

We want to help our Admins to better understand new functionalities, receive direct product feedback, and with it, define what we need to improve in our features.

For this 4.1 release, we will deploy these in-app onboarding flows for our new plugin Programs, and it will only be visible to admin users that are subscribed to the Open LMS Data telemetry initiative.

If you currently are not subscribed to this initiative and want to be, please fill out this short form.
