New Features

  • New Integrations to Enable Team Collaboration on Courses

    When working on a course you are likely to need to collaborate with others on your course team. Skills Network uses Box folders for sharing your work and a Slack channel for communication with other team members.
    • Create a Slack channel for the course team to collaborate

      Give your course a home on Slack. Add a Slack channel in your workspace just for course members. Your course team will be automatically invited to this Slack channel.

  • Other Features

    • A weekly What's New is now available in Author Workbench

    • A new Contributor member role is available in Author Workbench

      Contributor has the same access privileges as Staff role but will be publicly displayed as a "Contributor" to learners

    • See the Industry tags while viewing courses on catalog detail pages (https://catalog.skills.network)

    • You are now notified by email when your role has changed

    • Minor improvement to becoming an author/instructor
