Channel Manager – easy access to your channels

It is now easier to work with content and groups within a channel. Easily focus on relevant content or specific users to streamline tasks.

Use filters to search for specific areas example

The filters include:

· States – Default is Active, but you can choose between Expired, Archived, and Deleted as well

· Sorting – Sort by name or changed date: ascending or descending

· Search – For items containing the search string in a title or subtitle

Your filter settings are automatically stored and applied the next time you open the Channel Manager. To create a new course, click on ‘+CREATE COURSE’. The current content versions will be displayed, and you can create a new course.

Content Editor – outline, empty topics, quick copy & exclude

We have added new features that make designing and creating content much easier.

New content with an outline

We have added an outline feature to help you add structure to new content.

New content with outline feature

uQualio ® Content Outline

The highlighted areas show where you can update the title, description, video, and topic thumbnail.

You can now add files and questions before adding the video – build your structure then add the video when it is ready.

Empty topics

Part of the content creation process normally includes adding topics. uQualio® now supports empty topics – allowing you to first create course structure before adding a video, or a link to YouTube, Vimeo, or other.

Empty topics example

Empty Topic Example

Simply add the title and move on to building content structure.

Exclude and quick copy

In some cases, you may wish to exclude content. To accomplish this, simply use ‘Exclude’.

Empty Topic Example 2

uQualio ® Exclude Example

Excluded topics are not included when you publish your content. The system warns you about excluded topics or empty topics. Neither will be included in your published course.

Use the ‘Copy’ button to quickly copy a topic. This useful when adapting content, e.g., repurposing a webinar into bite-size microlearning videos. Here you copy the original video and update the Scene Selector settings after each copy.

Course Page – larger learning area

We have increased the learning area by about 50% when a user opens a topic. The boxes with notifications, summary, etc., have been moved to make room for the larger video and practice areas.

Your Courses now feature:

  • Larger video area
  • More space for questions in practice runs
  • Fewer elements to distract the user when a topic is active

Other features

Other features our customers requested that have been added in the past month:

  • The roles of ‘Course Manager’ and ‘Content Manager’ have been added to the Business Level subscription.
  • Tags are now easier to recognize as links on the course page. Using tags in your content is a great way to enhance SEO across your platforms.
Other features example

We have expanded dropdown menu options to streamline the admin experience.
