This reminder will run even if the course the learner had previously completed is set to \u201cinactive\u201d or the user is set to \u201calumni\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Class Limiting Feature<\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a previous version, Edvance360 LMS released the ability for users to self-enroll in available courses via a calendar or list under the feature called \u201cAvailable Courses\u201d. In Version 8.1.2 we\u2019ve added the feature update that enables administrators and course creators to limit the number of enrollments per course. Users can see how many \u201cseats\u201d are left in a course and self-enroll in the course. Once a course has reached the max number of seats or enrollees, the course color will change to red and the \u201cregister\u201d option for users will turn to a \u201cwaitlist\u201d option. Course facilitators and Admins have the option to either turn a waitlist ON\/OFF, as well as to set up Email templates to be sent for both registered and waitlisted users. In the case that waitlist users have registered, Course facilitators and Admins will see this Waitlist as a new Course Agent on their Homepage Dashboard. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Suggested Essay<\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several of our schools requested the ability to provide faculty and adjuncts with a sample essay or notes on what the essay should include to provide a guide while grading a student\u2019s submitted essay on tests. This has been added to Version 8.1.2. The guiding essay or notes can be added to the essay question itself. These guides are (obviously) only available to those who grade the essays and not to students.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting Practical<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Many of our clients &#8211; both corporate and those dealing with professional development &#8211; need their staff to complete certifications each year or several times a year to ensure they are &#8220;in compliance&#8221;. To help remind forgetful staff that their certification is coming due again, Version 8.1.2 has a new agent. Administrators can set it to remind the staff members 30, 60, 90, or 300 days after they completed the last training that it&#8217;s now time to re-enroll (providing a link to the new course) and re-certify. It can also notify supervisors to &#8220;alert&#8221; them to the need to oversee the re-certification. Agents are a GREAT way to cut down on admin tasks. If you&#8217;d like more training on agents, click <span style=\"color: #3574e3;\"><a href=\"mailto:%20training@edvance360.com\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #3574e3;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Many of our clients desire to limit course size &#8211; for both hybrid courses and ILT courses &#8211; due to space limitations or effectiveness (large class sizes to teacher ratios are never the best). The new Available Courses\/Self-Registration feature allows our clients to offer multiple instances of the same course, limiting each instance to a set number of &#8220;seats&#8221;. Learners&nbsp;can self-enroll, selecting courses from either a calendar or list. Administrators can manage the enrollments and limitations much better than in previous versions, so give it a try!

In Version 8.1.2 we&#8217;ve provided a new feature on the Essay-type question. Course designers have the ability to put in guidelines or a sample essay that only appears for the instructor of the course (NOT students, of course). They see these guidelines or sample essay when they grade the learner&#8217;s submissions, thus making it easier for the instructor to adhere to the guidelines.<\/p>\n<p><span>Make sure to follow us on Social Media to get the latest information, fastest.
