Smoother experience when things go wrong
- If a page fails to load, participants and staff now see a clear “try again” screen instead of a blank or technical error page.
- Missing pages (broken links) show a simple not-found message with ways back to the home or participant area.
- Quiz submissions give clearer feedback if something doesn’t save, so it is easier to know whether to try again.
- Progress after passing a quiz is recorded more consistently, so module completion is less likely to get stuck out of sync.
- Late reflection notifications to programme teams are more dependable when a participant submits after the deadline.
Update legal document terminology for clarity and consistency.…
- Update legal document terminology for clarity and consistency. Replace "Institutional customers" with "Programme organisations" to better reflect the intended audience.
Reflection reminders and clearer quizzes
- Programme teams can choose how reflection reminder emails work — for example when a reflection opens, before the deadline, and if it is overdue.
- Participants receive timely reflection prompts so they are less likely to miss a deadline.
- Quiz options for participants load and display more reliably through each module.
- On a participant’s admin profile, quiz attempt history is simpler and more accurate.
Course materials package
- Programme reference documents for the pilot course were added to the project for programme teams and authors.
Guided reflections for participants and staff
- Participants can open, draft, and submit written reflections tied to their programme timeline.
- Programme leaders can create and manage reflection assignments, including deadlines and prompts.
- Reflection status is visible so both participants and staff can see what is open, submitted, or late.
Profiles, travel details, and flexible questions
- Participants complete a fuller profile (personal, passport, emergency, and health notes) before finishing final sign-off.
- Final readiness (Section 7) collects arrival and departure travel plans in a clearer structured form.
- Wellbeing check-ins are available so participants can report how they are doing during the programme.
- Programme teams can add custom questions for a cohort when they need extra information beyond the standard forms.
Mobile app feel, practice quizzes, and content tools
- Participant and staff areas work better on phones, with a bottom navigation bar and a clearer top bar.
- Participants who have already passed a quiz can retake it for practice without losing their pass.
- Certificates and printed pages use clearer wording and more reliable dates.
- Programme leaders can search and export richer participant information (including dietary notes, medical notes, and completed forms) when preparing a programme.
- Lessons can include embedded video alongside reading content.
- Staff have a dedicated Content area to edit modules and lessons for their programme.
Withdrawals and clearer admin lists
- Participants who leave a programme can be marked as withdrawn, with space for a reason.
- Withdrawn people no longer clutter readiness reports, wellbeing overviews, or reflection lists by default.
- The main admin overview shows how many participants are withdrawn.
- Staff can search reflection overviews by participant name or email.
Participant withdrawal workflow
- Programme teams can withdraw or reinstate a participant from their detail page, with a clear confirmation step.
- Withdrawn status appears on participant lists so the roster matches reality.
