LMS Advisor release notes: what’s new and when

• Branching scenario block in the module studio: up to 30 decision points with up to 6 choices each, scoring, a pass mark and feedback on every outcome.
• Enrollment modes per course: admin only, open, enrollment key, or request with approval, plus an optional seat cap with a waiting list and opening and closing dates.
• Course prerequisites are enforced: a learner can enroll, but the lessons stay locked until the prerequisite courses are complete, on the web and in the app.
• Numeric question type (an exact value with a tolerance, or a range) brings course quizzes to 11 question types and the exam bank to 14. Partial credit for multiple choice, matching and ordering questions.
• Exam certificates can carry a validity period, and learning paths can issue their own certificate.
• Video lessons accept WebVTT or SRT caption files, with optional AI captions (off by default) drafted for an admin to publish.
• Gamification: configurable point rules with a daily cap, levels, streaks, badges with 14 rule types and bronze, silver and gold tiers, challenges, a daily learning goal and leaderboards. Badges are Open Badges 2.0.

• Branching scenarios play in the app. Video lessons get captions, chapters, bookmarks and completion by how much was watched.
• Proctored exams, and exams with recording, upload or coding questions, open the exam’s own web page inside the app, already signed in. Held results, appeals and re-sit waiting periods show in the app.
• Course page: unlock with a course password, prerequisites, wishlist, due dates and My grade. Join by enrollment key, request access with a note, or join the waiting list of a full course.
• Community: announcements with an unread badge, forum follow, @mentions, attachments and reporting, and a live sessions hub with registration for webinars that have places.
• Progress: badge gallery with Open Badges and LinkedIn sharing, leaderboards, course, exam and learning path certificates with Add to LinkedIn, a transcript with CPD hours, outside training records, and My team for line managers.

Native apps for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets, with the same account as the website. Learners sign in with a password or a one-time code, and the lesson player covers video, audio, documents, reading lessons, live sessions, quizzes and SCORM 1.2 and 2004 packages, with QR attendance check-in and push notifications. A branded version of the app, published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, is available as a paid add-on.
