Sites will be updated per the release schedule. For a full list of changes, please review the changelog.
Hello EthosCE Experts! I want to briefly take a moment to introduce myself to the EthosCE Community. My name is Jen Livingston and at the beginning of the year, I moved into the role of Product Manager for Learning Management Systems here at Cadmium. I have worked for one of Cadmium’s subsidiary Companies for nearly 13 years and bring a breadth of LMS industry knowledge to the EthosCE team.
First and foremost, I want to apologize for the delay in posting the last 2 release notes to the community. Moving forward, you can expect to see this information in a timely fashion so you are armed with the information you need as soon as possible.
7.64 was released to test sites on 1/12/23 and production sites on 1/18/23. 7.65 was released to test sites on 2/9/23 and went to production sites on 2/15/23.
Faculty Member Email Notifications
Prior to 7.64, when adding a new faculty member via email address to a course, the system does not send a welcome email unless a faculty form is assigned. New faculty members not being assigned a form are were not made aware of their addition to the site and were not notified to setup their profile.
With this change, new faculty members will be notified via email with one of 2 possible messages, which were modified per client feedback in 7.65
