Hello everyone,

The following version of Totara Learn has now been released.

  • Release evergreen 20190221

This release contains a new feature, Seminar Attendance tracking.
We were hoping to get this into last weeks evergreen release, however it was not ready to our stands at that point in time.
As a one off we have decided to make a second evergreen release including this feature, which has now met our standards.

The following is the changelog entry for this release.

Release Evergreen (21st February 2019)

Key:           + Evergreen only

New features:

    TL-12692   +   Added the ability to track attendance at the session level of seminars

                   Previously it was only possible to track attendance at the event level of
                   a seminar. With this improvement, attendance can be tracked for each
                   individual session within an event. This includes:

                   * A new seminar setting, 'Session attendance tracking', which allows trainers
                     to record attendance for each session of a seminar event. The recorded
                     session attendance is summarised on the event attendance form, allowing
                     trainers to use it as the basis for setting an overall attendance status
                     for each attendee.

                   * A new seminar setting, 'Mark attendance at', which determines when trainers
                     are allowed to begin taking attendance for an event or session.

                   * A new attendance status, 'Unable to attend', which provides an option for
                     trainers to mark an attendee as not having attended a session or event, but
                     without marking them as a 'no show'. The 'Restrict subsequent sign-ups to'
                     setting now includes 'Unable to attend' as one of its options.

                   * The seminar events dashboard has been consolidated into a single list of
                     sessions and events, with a filter allowing participants to see all events,
                     or only those that are upcoming, in progress, or in the past. 

                   * If 'Session attendance tracking' is enabled, a per-session 'Attendance tracking'
                     column appears on the events dashboard, allowing trainers to see at a glance
                     which sessions are marked or are ready to be marked.

Kind regards
