Features & Ideas

To indicate which staff member uploaded each additional fee in the recent transactions activity under each fee manually added. In the event there is a question that needs clarification on why the fee was necessary.

With Success Coaches utilizing the excel sheet/tracker. Sometimes a student could get removed/deleted and therefore missed. By adding a filter to select a staff member/Success Coach. They can include the necessary filters to cross reference their tracker to ensure everything adds up and students holds are removed or accounted for.

When duplicating courses, users may experience one or more of the following: Pages appearing out of sequence, Module release settings not transferring, Renamed external tools missing in duplicates of duplicates. The development team has replicated these issues and is working on a fix.

Search bars in different sections of LearnStage currently don't have consistent requirements, filters, features.

Workflow in LearnStage admin often results in several open tabs, and it's hard to differentiate when they are all titled "SIS Admin" with no specificity.

IDs that have been uploaded to files and docs that are NOT verified and have been purged by the system should be deleted from the system altogether or have the ability to delete items using the check box next to File Category to delete items from the list below. That particular check box shows the ability to currently verify all documents, but it would be great to have it be able to select all and then deselect any from the list below that might not need to be verified or deleted, etc. A decline all option would be awesome too. This would save time and also allow any unverified/purged items to be removed. Anything not verified currently shows a red dot, but not being able to verify or delete the item means the red dot will appear forever. This can cause frustration for admin and students alike.

Hi LS team! I think it would be helpful to have students receive a notification such as "Your grade has been updated" when their essays or projects are graded. This would not be necessary for quizzes/exams, but students are often waiting for a person or AI to grade their English essays, foreign language projects and other manually graded assignments. When we receive calls/HDTs wondering about their grades, we just have to advise them to keep checking back if they are still inside the grading window. I think it would allow students to worry less/check in less often about their pending grades for manually graded assignments if they knew they would be notified once they were updated. Additionally, many students are initially unaware about how to check the rubric/feedback from their graders. This notification could allow them to click on a link that brings them to the assignment in their account in order to read the feedback. "Click here to see feedback on this assignment." If a link is difficult to develop, the notification could at a minimum include a blurb about how the student can check the grader's feedback by navigating to the assignment in their modules and clicking "View Submission." Thanks for considering, Malini

Standardize rubric use across courses, eliminate need for repetitive rubric building for each course

Misleading to see a celebratory image if the assignment is not passed, could be interpreted as rude.

It would be great to use bullet points in response to a Helpdesk ticket, and currently it is not possible, though the option appears.

Create some type of check box or dropdown that would appear upon 100% completion (students who are graduating) to let us know what the immediate post-graduation plans for the student would be (University, Community College, Work Force, Military, Trade School, No Current Plans). It would also be information to have a text box to indicate the name of the university, CC, trade school, branch of military, or field of work. We currently do not keep such stats, but having a place in a student's account, would be informative and allow us to see trends from year to year based on age, locale, etc. This would allow us to keep up with needs and future planning.

In SIS, it would be valuable to have some type of indicator, thinking of a dropdown or check box of some kind near the top right of the screen (see screenshot for an idea/ suggestion only) that would indicate if the student is transferring credits and how..... example of the items in the list would include: MS, HS, HMS, International, GED, and No Credit Transfer. We would need the ability to choose more than one if that would apply. This would allow us at a quick glance and through reporting to know where are students are coming from in a previous educational setting.

If we could pull some sort of report in SIS to see failed grades or grading bell curves by course, that would help us proactively assist more students.

Some users are experiencing missing or inconsistent data when running Custom Reports for graduates. The development team is reviewing report filters and data retrieval logic to ensure accuracy.

Instructor feedback comments occasionally fails to save within assignments, though scores are recorded correctly. The development team is investigating this issues and is working on a fix.
