Let's take a quick break from following the World Cup and check out the latest developments. This release we have:
1. Floating heads
Research has shown that a sense of social presence positively influences online group efficacy and cohesion (Yoon & Leem, 2021). How can we benefit from this finding to encourage learning in LXP? π€
Learners in a programme see their peers' progress by the floating profile pictures above the journeys. This cool addition will boost learners' social presence, allowing them to have an increased feeling of connectivity, disregarding the synchronized nature of online learning.
2. New Integration API: User activation tokens
When users need to log in using their email, they first have to set up their password. We support this flow through a registration token. The user receives a registration link which they follow to set up their password.
You can have TinQwise LXP send invitation emails with tokens to users directly or you can choose to retrieve the tokens using this API and distribute them yourself. If none of this make sense to you, don't worry. Just send the help article below to your techie colleagues. They'll know what to do. π
3. Sessions: Meeting link in the calendar invite
We heard from your feedback that the calendar invite of the event series did not include the online meeting link. Attendees have to go to LXP and find the event series to be able to join the meeting online. That's of course not ideal, especially if you are in a hurry.
This released we took this into our hands and now all the invitations will include the meeting link in the descriptions in addition to the other event details such as title, location (if the meeting is hybrid), time, and date.
More updates on sessions are coming up in the following releases π€ Stay tuned.
