New features & Improvements
- As a learner, I should be prompted to add my LinkedIn profile upon sign-up as an optional field
- The experience wizard now includes a field for educators to provide submission instructions for learners for the final deliverable. This field previously was available only in settings.
- Companies can now verify themselves directly, not only in the process of matching with an experience. Global verification can be accessed through the company settings tab and reduce time in matching with experiences that require verification.
- Learners no longer need to select the time that work was completed when filling in the work log, only the date and duration.
- Educators of a single experience can now view replies to portal-level surveys for that specific experience, through experience settings.
- The match request page was modified to improve clarity of navigation and consistency of view between employers and educators.
- As part of the above, educators and employers can propose changes to project content in-line within the match request page.
- Payments can now be made directly via Stripe from portals to learners on paid experiences.
- Achievement descriptions have been updated for all achievements.
- Portal administrators can now view all achievements earnable by members of their portal, including those issued by Riipen.
- Educators and employers are now notified in batched emails about changes to match requests on their experience, on a daily basis, when activity exists.
- All application tables can now have applications sorted by recency.
- Employers can now access resumes of learners they worked with in the company talent pool.
- Company admins now receive a task prompting them to complete the company profile.
- Users can now leave comments on milestone submissions and final deliverable submissions. Team members and employer contacts are notified of new comments.
- Educators can add milestones for specific teams via the Add milestone button on the team page.
- As a learner, I should see default text in the ‘Context for learners’ panel if my educator hasn't customized this.
- Increase maximum file upload size and update hints for final submissions and milestone submissions.
- Add a tooltip to the "Causes" section on both the project page and the project wizard to explain its purpose.
- As a user viewing a team page, I should see the ‘Completed’ tasks automatically expanded once the final submission has been completed.
