Highlights: October 2022

Published by: 0

It’s been an exciting few months seeing the positive demand for our new Sales+ product. Streamlining education sales management allows you to do more with less while providing your applicants with an amazing sales experience.

We have made a lot of enhancements to the Application Form Builder and Submission process including the Payments & Billing capability.

Security is a fundamental pillar of our products and processes. Not only are the products secure to use, they are designed to prevent you needing to keep data outside of Wisenet in potentially less secure environments.

For example, Sales+ removes personal data and files from being in emails and employee’s computers reducing potential exposure points.

Security is a never ending project. Most enhancements we make, you gain the benefit without needing to lift a finger. Some features require you to enable a setting like Enforcing Social Login which allows you to enforce Single-Sign-On (SSO) and 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) on your Wisenet account.

We love hearing your feedback so please let us know your thoughts on the latest updates.

Payouts

There is a new Connected App called “Billing & Payments”. The first version of this product is designed to manage Invoicing and Payments for Sales+.

Learner

Auto Grade Updates

Moodle

The Moodle Auto Grade plugin was updated with extra logic and logging to make Auto Grading more robust. We have installed this on all Hosted Moodles.

Canvas

A complete redesign of how we check graded Assignments to accommodate random delays from Canvas. New more robust logic for checking that all assignments within an Assignment Group has a grade including the “Excused” is considered as graded.

This means that if there are 4 assignments that belong to an AssignmentGroup and 3 are Graded and 1 is Excused, the grade will still be sent to be AutoGraded.

Previously Excused was being considered as ungraded and was skipping AutoGrade.

Elearning Integration

Course Offer > Elearning

The Course Offer > Elearning page now allows bulk editing and deleting of Elearning Course Offers. This makes it easier to change default Enrolment Rules and Groups.

Add Elearning Enrolments

Applications are now excluded from the list of records that currently do not have an Elearning Enrolment. This makes it easier to add Elearning Enrolments to only Accepted Enrolments.

Canvas Sub Account Filtering

Customers can decide which Canvas accounts will sync with Wisenet providing more flexibility. Particularly useful for customers with many Wisenet accounts.

Locations

The entire Location section has been redesigned with our new page styles making it easier for users to interact with Locations. Can’t say we are sad to see the death of this old page.

New Zealand: Bulk Update Unit Enrolment

Bulk Update Unit Enrolment now has all NZ Unit Enrolment fields in the same layout as Add Unit Enrolments.
