• When generating Learner Transcripts for the Power BI connector, the Training or Module duration (mins) column displays null values for certain classroom or VC modules.

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.

When the learner comes back to the Catalog or My Learning pages using the browser back button, the filter remains preserved. The filter that a learner had applied earlier no longer gets reset.

Control visibility of search filters controlvisibilityofsearchfilters

In earlier versions of Learning Manager, Administrators do not have control over visibility options of a catalog filter, so that learners do not see the skills and tags. In this release of Learning Manager, and Admin can filter types, skills, and tags of a catalog.
