New features & Improvements

  • The Experience > Learners table has been updated to show key metrics about each learner including number of completed agreements and surveys, and the number of teams they have joined.
  • The Experience > Teams table has been updated to the team activity tracker which shows detailed progress information about each step for each learner and can be exported to CSV.
  • As an employer, I should see an informational banner on the team applications page explaining what’s next
  • As any user I can now select any item from the worklog and can leave a comment on it. Users will be notified by email when a comment is left.
  • Employers will now receive a daily email notification summarizing new and edited work log entries from that day. The frequency can be updated to ‘Weekly’ in the user settings.
  • Updates to the employer feedback wizard language to improve clarity and conciseness.
  • The "Propose changes" form in the match request wizard has been updated to reduce length of the page and improve clarity.
  • New fields for a match such as payment information, proposed dates and maximum teams are now separated into a new step of the match request wizard in order to ensure they are highlighted.
  • Educators can now select which conversation types are enabled for their experience, enabling any (or none) of the following options: Team-only; Project admin(s) + team; Project admin(s) + all teams.
  • The Project admin(s) + All teams conversation type is new and allows employers working with multiple teams on a single match to communicate with them all simultaneously.
  • Payment setup step for learners: Learners in experiences requiring a payment account will now see this as a step on the team page before "Start Project."
  • Tasks in the team page are better distinguished through icons identifying overdue and locked steps.
