Improvements
- The word “Meeting” has been changed to “Event” in the sign-up tool as this was felt to be more appropriate
- We have removed the huge gaps between paragraphs in the Syllabus tool
- One is now able to submit .PPTX (PowerPoint) files to Turnitin-enabled Assignments
- Reading Lists (ORLiMS) – the SOLO ‘pop-up’ window which appears when one opts to search the library catalogue is now wider so there are no sideways scroll bars
- Non logged in users can no longer see ‘publish (private)’ button on Calendars
- New REST web service end point added to Hierarchy Service – this allows sub sites of the current site to be returned in JSON format
- All Hierarchy Tools are now located in the main Tools menu – this is to prepare us for the move to WebLearn 11
- Site Info now has a ‘search users’ facility (User Voice request)
- Lessons Tool improvements (as part of the WISE project)
- added a new component to show the latest Announcements (cf Home page Announcements display)
- added a new component to display a Twitter Timeline (User Voice request)
- added a new component to show a site Calendar (cf Home page Calendar display)
- a Google document can now be embedded on a page within an iFrame
- The Researcher Training Tool now asks for special requirements when signing up – these requirements are displayed to course administrators on the Module Management page

From Vinton Cheng, Clinical Research Fellow, CRUK/MRC Oxford Institute of Radiation Oncology: “The ConnectOx project aims to bring researchers together and promote collaboration through researcher profiling and smart algorithms. By providing another route for researchers working within disparate subjects to find each other, our vision is that opportunities for novel and interdisciplinary connections will become enhanced, which in turn will break down the barriers holding back the free movement of knowledge. We will be working with key players in this space, *Research and Apereo OAE, to bring this project to fruition.”
There will be no service during this period this is due to essential maintenance of the AFS filesystem.
