LOOP LMS
View Course Details Enhancements
To provide better experience to our admins, instructors and learners, we have improved the overall design of the View Course details page. 
First, relevant icons are displayed next to the learning materials shown on the View Course details page. The intuitive icons aims to provide meaningful information to the learners.  

They are also grouped into 3 categories using different colours:
•    Turquoise to represent Media resources such as Images, Videos, Audio, PowerPoint and Word Documents.  
•    Brown to represent activities such as Assignment, Assignment and SCORM file
•    Purple to represent Survey and Feedback forms

 
Learning materials - Media resources

 

Learning materials - Assessment, Assignment and SCORM file

 
Survey and Feedback forms

Mobile-Friendly Timekeeper Function 
We have also enhanced the mobile-friendliness of the timekeeper function. The timekeeper serves as an attendance tracking function where the users can time-in or time-out their attendance daily. For easier navigation, we have made the designs of the check-in and check-out buttons more prominent when accessing the LOOP LMS using mobile devices.

Titles for Resources

Site Administrator and Instructors are now able to label their resources for the contents added under the new topics they have created. These titles will act as subtopic labels which allow for better organization of the resources under each new topic.

Similarly for creating new assessment or editing an assessment, instructors will be able to set the privacy of the assessment from the privacy toggle settings at the top right hand corner of the form under the general tab.

This improves the Assessment as a one-stop function for you to create your course material.
