PROPEL YOUR ORGANIZATION AND PEOPLE TO GROW TOGETHER

We continually release new features and enhancements based on your feedback and ideas. We want to share some recent additions for you here. You can review the complete list of changes in the March Release Notes.

IMPROVED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RECENT ACTIVITY 

To deliver the most relevant content more efficiently, learners now see recommendations based on the recent activity of others who took the same content. 

NEW LANGUAGES ADDED TO LOCALIZED CLOSED CAPTIONS 

To enable more of your learners to follow the video dialogue in their native language, machine-translated closed captions are now available for Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Georgian, Macedonian, Kazakh, and Serbian. 

PREPARE TO ALLOW LEARNERS TO ACCESS SKILLSOFT COACHING FROM WITHIN SKILLSOFT PERCIPIO 

To allow learners to easily access their Skillsoft Coaching account from Skillsoft Percipio, you can now turn on the option: Show a link in the user's profile menu that opens their Skillsoft Coaching account. We anticipate launching the Skillsoft Coaching link for learners within the next month. This setting is available when you create or edit a user's account. You can use bulk import to turn this setting on for multiple users.

If you turn the setting on, your learners will soon see a Skillsoft Coaching link under their profile, which will take them directly to their Skillsoft Coaching home page.

RETIRED COURSES LIBRARY REPORT IS NOW AVAILABLE 

A new CSV report is now available within Skillsoft Percipio Compliance under General Administrative Reports, which provides an overview of retired content. The report allows you to modify assignments and learning programs accordingly. The report includes:

  • Courses that have been moved to a retired status
  • The number of learning programs that contain the retired course
  • The number of group assignments that contain the retired course
  • The number of individual assignments that contain the retired course
For more information on this report, see the Retired Courses Library report.

SKILLSOFT PERCIPIO COMPLIANCE UPDATES TO LEARNING PLAN ASSIGNMENTS 

In Skillsoft Percipio Compliance, when you go to Audiences > Learning Plan Assignment and select Assign for a particular audience, you only see assignments made directly to that audience. Previously, you would see assignments made to parent audiences of the selected audience. Inherited assignments no longer display on this page for the selected audience. All assignments remain the same and continue to follow the Stringency and Business rules. With this change:

  • You can now search for a course that may already be assigned to a parent audience and assign it at this audience level.
  • You can still see learners’ assignments and how they were assigned. From Users > Learning Plan Assignments, select the user to view their assignments. You can view those inherited through an audience assignment and those made directly to the user.
  • Inherited assignments no longer show on the report

This change resolves challenges that include:

  • Overlapping audiences (where only a subset of users from two audiences are shared)
  • Inclusion of individual users versus inclusion by attribute match
