Core product updates

Content collaboration: Any user can be a co-author

We’ve made it easier for teams to collaborate on content by simplifying how co-authors are assigned. Until now, co-authors needed a group author role to be added to a course or path. This created extra steps and confusion, especially when working with subject matter experts or contributors outside of the content’s owner group.

What’s changing:

You can now assign any user as a co-author on a course or path—no group role required. Once assigned, co-authors will be able to edit the content they’ve been added to, and they can access the content from:

• Their homepage, in “My work”
• Their home workspace, under the “Course” or “Path” chips
• A search within the platform

Co-authors can now:

• Edit the course or path where they’ve been assigned.
• Add steps to a path (classrooms, assessments, courses, messages).
• Add existing certificates to a path.
• Create and edit activities in a course.

Co-authors cannot:

• Create new certificates or tags (but they can assign existing ones).
• Assign other co-authors.
• Change the owner group.
• Duplicate, delete, or archive the content.

This update gives your teams more flexibility to collaborate on content creation without compromising control.

Home page: Carousels are now available

Building on our recent home page improvements, we're now introducing an impactful way to keep everyone informed and engaged. Platform admins can now add a carousel to the top of the web app's home page. This high-visibility placement ensures that important announcements or welcome messages are seen immediately upon login.

For organizations using the Globalization solution, the ability to translate carousel content further amplifies its reach and effectiveness.

To keep things visually consistent across the platform, we’ve updated the image size for all carousels:

• For poster layouts: 1600x400
• For postcard layouts: 800x400

If you already use carousels on group pages, your existing images will be automatically resized to fit the new ratios. Images will be centered and may be cropped.

The home page carousel is currently only available on the web interface. Its placement at the top of the page cannot be changed (yet!).

Unenrollment: Consistency between path sessions and classrooms

Learners can no longer self-unenroll from a path session if they are enrolled in a classroom slot with self-registration turned off (unless the slot has already ended).

Subpaths: Greater flexibility for managing subpath sessions

To provide you more control over how subpaths are managed, you can now change the assigned instructors on subpaths, as well as edit the additional session information field in your subpaths. Both of these actions can be done in the platform and via API (using the modifyChildPath route).

Other core product updates

• 🔝 When you navigate to a group and click the Courses chip, you'll now see the newest courses first, just like on your homepage.
• 🗑️ We removed the option to Add email addresses from the expanded view of the user selector, when excluding users from an audience. It didn’t add a lot of value for the use case, and had the awkward side effects of adding users to the platforms (only to block them from accessing a path session). So, confusing.
• 🔑 For new users whose initial password has been set by an admin, we've added a Forgot password? link to the signup page. This way, if they've missed the email containing the initial password or if it was entered incorrectly, they can easily reset it and recover access during signup.
• 📝 We rephrased a line in the group deletion confirmation popup, specifying that All posts [...] (instead of the actual number) would be deleted.

Skills updates

Real-time updates, manager notifications, and improved data imports

• Whenever there is a change in manager relation, group, course completion, or user personal info, the related skills update in real time (instead of once per day).
• Managers now receive an email notification when new skills are pending their validation.
• We've cleaned the list of possible data import types, and reordered them by specificity (most general at the top, most specific at the bottom):
  • Libraries
  • Skills
  • Jobs
  • Jobs-Skills
  • Users-Jobs
  • Users-Skills
• We've also updated the templates (which you can download by clicking Download the CSV template after having selected an import type) with more explicit column names and explanations on the usage of each column.

April 9th, 2025 (v118)

Core product updates

Redesigned home page for a focused and intuitive experience

We’ve given your home page a major makeover to help you focus on what matters most. The redesigned "My Work" section makes it easier to see what you need to do as soon as you log in. Here’s what’s new:

• Streamlined "My Work" section: View your upcoming classrooms, assigned training, and in-progress training at a glance.
• Enhanced previews: Quickly check essential details like progress, assignment type, due date, and author information.
• Hover functionality: Hover on course, path, and classroom previews to reveal more details and pick up where you left off.
• Author section: A new dedicated section for authors displays their authored and co-authored content, sorted by last edit for easy access.

The updated home page now prioritizes actionable items to keep you on track. Completed trainings are relocated to your user profile. To review your completed training, click your profile picture → Training in the top-right corner of the home page.

Skills

We’re currently activating skills on a per-platform basis. If you’re a platform admin and would like to use them, contact your Client Success Partner (CSP).

• Managers and admins can now launch upskilling campaigns, which will enroll users in several paths in bulk, with a custom deadline.
• Admins and authors can now add or remove skills in their courses. AI will automatically suggest skills in the background.
• Learners now receive an email notification when they have a new skill pending assessment.
• Managers now receive a notification when they have a new skill pending validation.

Course versioning: beta (on selected platforms)

Authors can now publish different versions of the same course. Learner attempts are linked to a specific course version.

• Each version has specific authoring notes.
• You can see the version history.

This feature is activated on-demand only for now. Contact your Client Success Partner (CSP) if you’re interested.

Other core product updates

• 📧 Notification deletion: The email notification asking learners to declare a learning need will be discontinued due to low engagement and client feedback indicating it's often perceived as spam.
• 🚀 Quick path enrollment: We've cut out an extra click when platform admins enroll learners in paths. Now, just hover over Assign learners to instantly choose between Select everyone or Select specific learners, speeding up your workflow.
• 📊 Accessible charts: We've updated our pie charts to be more accessible, especially for users with color blindness. Now, pie charts use colors with better contrast, distinct section separation, and clear annotations and labels.
• 🎨 Unsplash image library: We've added Unsplash image selection to carousel slides and gallery blocks, giving you consistent image access across the platform.

• 🔐 AuthnRequests SSO: SAML SSO now supports signed AuthnRequests, allowing platforms to enforce authentication request signing for improved security and compliance with stricter IdP policies.

API updates

New exception behavior for API-imported courses from selected external platforms

We've updated how courses imported from specific platforms using thePOST importExternalCourses API behave when launched from 360Learning. Now:

• KnowBe4 courses will stay “in progress” and start with 1% progress.
• Bookboon and S4K courses will be marked as completed with 100% progress upon launch.

Integrations updates

Skillsoft: New content types

We've expanded our Skillsoft connector to include "Assessment" content types. This means you can now access Skillsoft's "Skill Benchmarks" directly within our platform, giving you a more comprehensive learning experience.

Customization solution updates

Extended Academies is replacing the Customization solution

With this update, we’re launching the Extended Academies option!

A new offering designed to provide businesses with scalable, customizable learning solutions for both internal and external audiences. This will replace the Customization solution and is tailored to meet the needs of organizations with complex structures.

Key features of the Extended Academies option include:

• Group-level branding: Customize colors, logos, and page elements for each group, including email branding.
• Custom URLs: Up to 10 custom URLs per group for a personalized, branded experience. Additional URLs can be purchased in packs of 5.
  • *Addendum As a last minute update, we have removed this limitation. You are not limited on the number of custom URLs, and you will not need to purchase additional URLs. -Christian 🙂
• Self-registration: Admins can share a registration link to enable end-learners to sign up.

This package streamlines customization, offering businesses a user-friendly solution for multi-department and external-training use cases. It simplifies the functionality of the old Customization solution, removing features like custom page layouts (which have been moved to the core product) and introducing new capabilities such as self-registration.

Data Connect updates

Monitor user login methods with Data Connect

We’re enhancing security for platforms with mixed SSO by providing visibility into users’ login methods. You can now track whether users access the platform via SSO, login/password, or magic link.

Data Connect customers can access login data in two ways:

• A new User Logins table, which includes user ID, authentication date/time, and connection method.
• A new Last Connection Method column in the Users table, displaying the most recent authentication method.

This update provides better oversight of authentication activity and enhances security monitoring for your platform.

• New AI-generated question type: scenario-based questions
• Manager dashboard and email updates
• Improved calendar management with group inheritance
• Feature deletion: 360Learning Chrome extension
• Other core product updates

Core product updates

New default color scheme for unbranded platforms

We've refreshed the default colors for new platforms and platforms without custom branding:

• Main color: #1E57D1
• Left bar background color: #FFFFFF

This will improve visibility of key elements (buttons, AI features, etc.), which were previously difficult to see on the darker default.

Opt-out hack: If you prefer to keep the previous default colors, you can customize your platform using the original default values:

• Main color: #212227
• Left bar background: #FBF6F2

If you've already customized your platform colors, your settings will remain unchanged.

User impersonation - Connect as another user

Platform admins can now impersonate users to troubleshoot issues or refine platform settings. Impersonation can be initiated from the user list or profile, with a required legal notice acknowledgment and logged reason for impersonation.

Once impersonating a user:

• Actions taken are logged as if performed by the impersonation user.
• Admins can either open the session in a new window (logging out of their own account) or copy the link into a private window to remain logged in as themselves.
• Impersonation logs are available upon request.

This feature is available upon request. To enable it in your platform, contact your Client Success Partner (CSP). For more information, see Login as another user.

New AI-generated question type: scenario-based questions

We’re enhancing our AI-powered question generation with a new question type: scenario-based questions. These questions present a context, situation, or incident, and are followed by a question such as “What is the best way to act?”

Learners choose from four possible answers, with one or more correct options.

This update expands AI-generated question capabilities across question generation, dynamic path quizzes, and AI course generation, supporting both single-choice and multiple-choice formats.

Manager dashboard and email updates

We've updated manager insights to simplify tracking team training progress:

• Manager dashboard: Now defaults to the Result by training view, with Result by user's completion still accessible via dropdown.
• Weekly activity report email:
  • Call-to-action buttons have been renamed for clearer guidance.
  • Misleading bell icons, which previously redirected to user profiles instead of sending reminders, have been removed.

These changes streamline manager workflow by providing more intuitive access to training data.

Improved calendar management with group inheritance

We’ve improved our Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar integrations with a new option: Enable integration for all subgroups.

This option will allow subgroups to inherit the calendar integration from their parent group, simplifying calendar management. This is active by default for new integrations but will remain off for existing integrations unless manually enabled.

With this update, organizations can maintain a single calendar across multiple groups, ensuring a more streamlined scheduling experience.

Feature deletion: 360Learning Chrome extension

We're removing the 360Learning Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store due to low usage.

• The extension will no longer be available for download.
• If you currently use the extension, please be aware that it may stop working at any time and will eventually be removed from all users' browsers by Chrome.

Other core product updates

• 🔍 Search results now include user emails.
• 🧹 Combined Path Title and Path Image into a single "Title" column on the Paths statistics page, for a more consistent and streamlined experience.
• 🛎️ Improved the course completion page, making it easier to navigate and understand what the next steps are.
• ⬇️ Now, whether you're on the group or manager dashboard, when you hover over the download icon, you'll see a tooltip that says Download.
• 🤖 Updated AI tools within the platform to be more visible.
• ✏️ Improved the title and image displayed on the self-registration page to be group-specific.

Skills updates

See mandatory skills immediately

Mandatory skills in your Skills profile now display a bright red asterisk (*) with a legend, "Indicates a skill required for your current job(s)" for instant visibility. This will help you prioritize your skill-building and avoid overlooking required skills.

Integration updates

Udemy integration: Faster updates and enhanced analytics

Your Udemy learning experience just got a major upgrade! We’ve improved our Udemy integration to provide near real-time progress tracking and enhanced analytics, helping both learners and admins stay up to date with training progress.

Near real-time updates (setup required)

Track learner progress instantly with near real-time updates—a game-changer for engagement and compliance tracking.

Previously, analytics data was synced from Udemy to 360Learning once a day. With this update, learners will see their Udemy course and learning path progress reflected in 360Learning within minutes (typically) of making progress on Udemy. Admins will gain almost immediate insights into learning engagement, crucial for compliance tracking.

To unlock this feature, admins must enable webhooks with OAuth2 credentials on Udemy. If you have an active Udemy connector, your CSP will send setup instructions (based on this article) when credentials are available.

Important: While we refer to these updates as "near real-time," there may be a slight delay between Udemy and our platform due to network latency and processing constraints. This means that updates might not be absolutely instantaneous, but they will be significantly faster than the previous daily sync.

Enhanced analytics for everyone (no setup needed)

These improvements apply automatically to all users, whether or not you enable near real-time updates:

• • Improved course starts: When learners launch Udemy content from 360Learning, progress now starts at 1% and the attempt remains open until analytics data syncs.
  • Complete analytics: Platforms synchronizing Udemy public learning paths can now track both course and learning path analytics in 360Learning (previously, only course data was available).
  • Twice-daily analytics sync: Analytics now sync twice daily instead of once, at 7:45 AM and 7:45 PM Central European Time (UTC+1). This twice-daily sync is performed even when near real-time updates are enabled, providing a reliable backup and ensuring all data is captured.

Other integration updates

• Our Slack and Salesforce integrations are now available in both the US and Europe data centers. This unlocks automated notifications and streamlined data syncing, previously only available to EU clients.

Core product updates

Paths: Enrolling everyone in a path session

Quickly build and manage path session audiences with the new bulk enrollment feature:

• Platform admins can now enroll all learners on the platform using Assign learners > Select everyone.
• New learners are automatically added to the path session as they join the platform (if the Audience dynamically updated setting is enabled).
• Platform admins, group admins, and coaches can filter the Everyone audience by path result, certificate status, and user custom fields to refine enrollment.
• Platform admins, group admins, and coaches can also easily find and enroll large groups with the improved Assign groups option, which now sorts groups by size.

Skills: Simplified adding and tracking of completed trainings

• In the Career tab of a user's profile, users can now click a button at the top of the pages for current, target, and previous jobs to quickly add missing skills. Managers can do the same for their managees, and admins for members of their group.
• Users can now see a new section Completed trainings when clicking on a skill in a user’s profile. That section includes paths and courses completed by the user, tagged with the corresponding skill.

Other core product updates

• We've sprinkled some AI magic across the platform! You'll now see a sparkle icon wherever AI is helping you to create a course.
• ⚙ Clicking the settings icon in the top right of the course editor now opens a side panel instead of a popup modal. All settings options remain the same.
• ⬇️ Page numbers are now always visible at the bottom of most tables in the Statistics view so you can navigate between pages without scrolling.
• 📖 We’ve added Lithuanian as a platform language.

Globalization updates

Translations: Additional languages

We've added several new languages for content translation:

• Haitian
• Yoruba
• Tagalog
• Spanish (Argentina)
• Spanish (Mexico)
• English (Canada)

Core product updates

CEU/CPD credit management

We’re rolling out the first phase of our CEU/CPD credit management feature for paths. This update enables admins to set up and manage different types of credits tied to training material, ensuring that learners can track their progress towards certification requirements.

• Admins can define multiple types of credits, each with customizable names, cycles (e.g., yearly, semi-yearly), and start dates.
• Admins can rename the credit types, such as replacing “CEU” with an industry-specific term.
• Admins have the ability to edit or delete credits.
• Learners can earn credits by completing training material within a path and view the total number of credits earned during the current cycle.

This is just the first step toward supporting CEU/CPD tracking for professional development. Stay tuned for more enhancements in future updates!

Microsoft Outlook calendar integration for classroom slots

Bring your classroom slots into Microsoft Outlook! Sync classroom slots and RSVP responses from 360Learning to your Outlook calendar.

• Classroom slot sync
  • Classroom slots created, updated, or deleted in 360Learning automatically reflect in your Outlook calendar.
• Real-time RSVP sync
  • Learner RSVP updates are synchronized across both platforms.
• Flexible configuration
  • Select shared calendars during setup.

Note: 360Learning is treated as the source of truth for this integration. Changes made directly in Outlook Calendar will not sync back to 360Learning.

Hide the newsfeed with custom CSS

Platform owners can now hide the newsfeed for all users on the web app by adding custom CSS rules. They can choose to hide it:

• Everywhere on the platform (home, group, and profile pages)
• Only on specific group pages

This feature requires the Custom CSS solution. To add custom CSS, go to the platform group's Settings > Branding. A step-by-step guide with code snippets is available here.

Fix in custom reports for courses

In Courses custom reports, we’ve updated the Results column to only show the results when the learner has completed the course on the 360Learning platform. The column will now remain empty when the result is undefined due to:

• The learner not completing the course.
• The course being migrated.

Skills updates

• We renamed the columns of the import templates (for library, skills and jobs), and allowed the use of semicolons (;) as separator characters, so they should be easier to understand and manipulate. A detailed article is coming soon on that topic 👀
• We simplified the onboarding when users are opening their Skills dashboard for the first time. We realized it was frustrating not to be able to control the initial list of skills.
• Managers can now validate skills in batch.
• Platform admins can now see skills statistics for the whole platform.
• We also tweaked and clarified the computation for skill gap. The formula and examples will be visible in View the skills gap in jobs and careers next Wednesday.

February 3rd edit: we just got word that semicolons support was added to this release! This is a passive, net enhancement for all users, so I sleuthed it out in the first bullet point. — Flavien

Globalization updates

Automatic translation of messages

Platform admins can now ask their Client Success Partner (CSP) to enable the automatic translation of messages in forums and newsfeeds. Users will then see messages in the language of their profile, in course forums, path forums and group newsfeeds.

Users can also:

• show the original message,
• filter the course forum, to show only messages posted in the language of the course,
• deactivate/reactivate translation entirely from their profile settings.

Integrations updates

Edflex: New content types and updated logo

We now display the new Edflex content types—books, top-voice, interactive, certificates, assessment, lab, and program—on the course homepage, making it easier for learners to find the right learning resources before they start!

We've also updated the Edflex logo on our platform.

OpenSesame: Updated logo

We’ve updated OpenSesame's logo on our platform to match their recent rebranding.

Core product updates

Expanded validation options for registration requests

We’ve added a new option to the validation process for registration requests in path sessions. You can now choose to have the validation be performed by:

• Instructors
• Managers
• Managers + Group Admins
• [New] Session Instructors + Managers + Group Admins + Group Coaches

Please note, this option is only available on platforms that no longer use programs.
