Keep Users Engaged: Exciting Updates for the Track Loading Experience

Waiting for a cold-started track to load can be a frustrating experience for your users. While the Hot Start feature can help alleviate this issue, it may not always be a feasible solution. To help keep your users engaged while their track is loading, we're introducing two exciting updates:

  1. A new Instruqt Explainer Video Note type: excite and educate your users by introducing them to the Instruqt lab. Just like other notes, this video (see below) will be shown to your users while their track is loading.

     
    The Instruqt Explainer Video note can be added from the new Notes editor in the web interface:

    Note: If you wish to add the video through the CLI, just add a new video note and use this url.
  2. For Invite and Kiosk mode plays, we've enhanced the waiting experience, even if the lab is not in focus. 

    First, the page title now mirrors the track's loading status: 


    Second, users can choose to receive a browser notification when their track is ready to play:



    Once the track is ready to start, a notification will be sent:




    Note: due to technical constraints, browser notifications and dynamic page titles are only available on tracks played through an invite link or in kiosk mode. If you wish to enable similar functionality for embedded tracks, please check this article.


As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or feedback.

Enrich Your Track Invites Using the Updated Public Description field

We have updated the public description field on track invites to support lists, links, and new lines using markdown. Additionally, the limit has been increased to 400 characters. This enables you to include additional information, such as instructions or a call-to-action (CTA), in your invites.

For more details on using track invites and leveraging these new capabilities, please consult our docs.

Manage your content with Tag management

Manage your content with Tag management

We've created a tag management page, enhancing your control over your tags and their usage.

Here are the major benefits you will enjoy with the tag management page:

Centralised view: A consolidated view of all your tags, helping you to manage your tags more efficiently.

Track tag usage: You'll be able to see where each tag is used, providing an at-a-glance understanding of your tag's usage across different tracks. And navigate directly to each track. 

Reduced duplications: You can’t create duplicates of a tag. We’ve added validation to help stop accidentally creating tags you already have

We believe that these improvements will enhance your productivity, and allow you to maximize the use of our product. Watch this space for further improvements in content management. 


How to Access

Select the "Settings" section in the side menu and then select the “Tag management” option

We hope that this new update will provide benefits to your productivity and user experience. We're committed to continually improving our product based on your valuable feedback.

New UI for track creation and editing

New UI for track creation and editing

\We are thrilled to introduce significant improvements to our product that make content creation easier, faster, and more intuitive than ever before. This simplified guide will give you an overview of the new interface and how to navigate through them.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. Streamlined Content Creation Process: You no longer need to switch between "Create track wizard" and "Edit track" to create content. Now you can create and edit tracks, add challenges, and much more, all in one place.
  2. Consistency Across the Product: Our new design provides a more consistent, professional, and modern look and feel across all pages. No more navigating through inconsistent layouts.
  3. Enhanced User Experience for All: Whether you're a tech expert or a novice, our improved UI is designed to be more user-friendly. We've simplified various processes and made our interface more intuitive.

How to use the new interface

Turn on the New UI: On your team’s content page, next to the “Create track” button is a toggle which will enable the new experience.


Now you can either create a new track or go to any of your existing tracks to see the new UI. We will remove the old user interface after 24th of August



Navigating the Track details UI:

Below you can see how we have refreshed the track details page. Everything from before is still available. The content is now more organised and things such as Scripts are easier and faster to access.


We are currently working on updating our documentation. Until then, we hope this quick guide will assist you in navigating through the main changes.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us make our product even better. Feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions about the new interface. We look forward to continuing to improve our experience and making your lives easier.

CLI tracking and reporting

We're introducing tracking and reporting for crashes as well as basic user activity in the command line interface (CLI). This new functionality will equip us with crucial insights to better understand how Instruqt is being used, identify any common issues, and ensure stability. The ultimate goal is to continuously refine and elevate your experience with our product.

To provide you with control over this new feature, we've also added the ability for users to disable the tracking function. If you prefer not to participate in crash reporting and user activity tracking, simply run the following commands:

To disable crash reporting:
instruqt config set report-crashes false

To disable user activity tracking:
instruqt config set telemetry false

These enhancements will significantly help us improve the CLI user experience, making it more stable, reliable, and responsive to your needs.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. We appreciate your support and thank you for being a part of our community.

A more immersive and seamless embed experience

We are excited to announce improvements to the embed feature, aimed at providing a more immersive and seamless experience for your users. These enhancements, along with the existing custom button option, offer greater flexibility and customization possibilities to meet the unique needs of your embedded tracks.

What's new:

  1. Disable the Feedback Prompt: We recognize that every learning scenario is different, and sometimes, a feedback prompt may not be necessary or superfluous. To address this, we have made it possible to disable the feedback prompt at the end of an embedded track.
    Read the docs

  2. Customize the "Well Done!" text: We believe in personalization and understanding the context of your embedded tracks. With this improvement, you now can replace the default "Well done!" text with something that better aligns with the specific context and purpose of your content. For example, what action the user should take next inside your LMS.
    Read the docs

  3. Full-Screen Mode: We understand the importance of creating an immersive learning environment. With the new update, your learners can now toggle embedded tracks to full-screen mode, allowing them to focus entirely on the content and enhancing their overall learning experience.
    Note: For the new full-screen button to appear on your embedded tracks, your iframe snippet needs to be updated. Use the track embed configurator (docs) to obtain the updated snippet, or manually add the allowfullscreen property to your iframe element.

We are continuously striving to enhance our product, and these improvements are a result of valuable feedback and suggestions from users like you.

Spend Less Time Navigating Between Scripts and More Time Creating Exceptional Learning.

Now, you have a comprehensive view of all scripts in a track in one place. Seamlessly navigate through your track level and challenge level scripts, effortlessly editing them in a unified and intuitive interface.

We also added the convenience of a "Save All" button. Say goodbye to manual saves after each change, as this time-saving feature ensures that all your modifications are securely saved in one go.

You can access the new scripts page from where you normally find scripts in your Sandbox configuration. Learn more about scripts

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to enhance your Instruqt experience.
