My favourite things

Avallain Magnet Release 19 sends you hearts to set your favourite courses. Create your own page of favourites, set certificates to show your own institution logo, and many other updates to make Avallain Magnet your favourite learning solution.

Favourites, dashboard and courses page redesign

Favourites

Now students and teachers can pick out their favourite courses so stay more focussed on what matters.  It is as simple as clicking on a heart to favourite a course and click again to remove the course from the favourites page. Magnet 19 offers an easy way for students and teachers to jump to those courses that they love.

UI enhancements

With the new Favourites tab, the To do and the Done tabs have been removed for students. All courses are now visible on the All course tab including completed courses, expired courses and courses yet to start.

Course card alignment

Course tiles are now perfectly horizontally aligned on all devices, irrespective of image size or the amount of text in the title or description. The height of each row is defined by the tallest card in the row.

Certificate customisation

Branded certificates for institutions

Following the success of our integration with Accredible to provide external and industry-recognised certification for courses, Avallain Magnet goes one step further to provide automatic institution branding . 

Students receive an institutionally-branded certificate without needing to edit the certificate design in Accredible for each institutions.

How-to

1. In Magnet, ensure that each of your institution logos has the same ratio of 4.6:1.
2. In Accredible, create two new custom attributes called Institution Logo and Institution Name and place them in your preferred position on the certificate.

That’s it. Now, each when student takes the course, they will receive a certificate with their institution name and logo.

Further enhancements for teachers

Adding users to assignments

In release 19, we have made the process easier for teachers to select students and groups when creating the assignments. Simply select the group and then, if necessary refine by selecting students from each group.

User and group report formats

Release 19 allows teacher to download reports in a new XLSX format in addition to the existing CSV format. Teachers will now be able to download a zip file which will include the reports in both formats. This should make it easier for teachers to view the reports in their preferred software.

Updates for Org Admins

System messages tracking

Send a message to all organisation users via System Message and keep a track of your message indicating who the message was sent to, how many people received the message, if the instruction was 100% successful or not and the date and time the instruction was made.
