Firmwater LMS – Top New Features 2017<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\"January\"<\/td>\n

\n

 <\/h3>\n

Course Library<\/a><\/h3>\n

We added the Card View for the course library.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\"May\"<\/td>\n

\n

 <\/h3>\n

Automatic Redirect<\/a><\/h3>\n

We support automatic redirect to Firmwater LMS from the Shopify check-out process. The user no longer needs to wait for an email to access courses purchased.<\/p>\n

Product Bundles<\/h3>\n

We support purchases of multiple courses as a single product bundle. Seats for courses in a bundle get assigned as a single action.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\"June\"<\/td>\n

\n

 <\/h3>\n

Rollup Rules<\/a><\/h3>\n

We added new \u2018Attempts and Scoring\u2019 settings. Decide whether an item is included as part of its parent\u2019s score and whether the item is required for completion of the parent item.<\/p>\n

Idle Timeout<\/a><\/h3>\n

We now display a prompt if no user activity is detected in the LMS for a specified amount of time. Without any response, the session is terminated. We added the appropriate presentation setting to specify an idle timeout value.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/a><\/h3>\n

We added a new \u2018Prerequisites\u2019 page for items in a course. Specify the items that must be completed before the current item becomes available. We also added item prerequisites that let you set a certain amount of time that has been spent in the course before you allow access to another item.<\/p>\n

Auto-Sequencing<\/a><\/h3>\n

We added an action to auto-sequence a course. It makes each item in the course a prerequisite for the next item \u2013 we like to compare this to a daisy chain.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\"August\"<\/td>\n

\n

 <\/h3>\n

Video Player<\/a><\/h3>\n

We now show MP4 videos in a consistent player across all browsers. Of course, we also track progress and completion.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
