New WebLearn was upgraded on 1st February 2011 to version 2.6-ox6.1, this includes the delayed upgrade to the surveys tool. There are more detailed release notes for those who want to know more!
Improvements
- Survey tool improvements:
- one no longer has to close a survey to view the results

- Pop-up help added for Student Enrolment System (SES)
- One can now join / leave a site via Site Info
Bug
- Survey tool bug fixes
- taking survey after end date but before extension date no longer gives an error
- prior to publishing a survey, selected sites and groups no longer reports that the survey has ‘0 members’ (unfortunately there are still problems with counting the number of recipients when ad-hoc groups are used)
- List of questions on a template now refreshes correctly
- the survey author no longer has to assign the survey to a group if the survey doesn’t require a login
- when login is required to view survey results, the login page is now displayed
- it is now clear that an initial notification of a survey is always sent whereas the sending reminders can be configured by the user
- can now supply SSO username when building an ad hoc group
- email addresses of users without WebLearn accounts are now shown within ad-hoc groups (instead of internal identifiers)
- manual reminders can now be sent
- selecting ‘login to WebLearn’ & supplying an email address with no corresponding WebLearn account as part of an ad hoc group is no longer possible
- view results page is no longer cached, previously a cached version of the page saying “results not yet available” was seen in error
- Editing a file using webDAV no longer silently changes group access to a file (this does not apply to Apple Mac users)
