Release notes

This year we’re focussing on improving existing functionality and fixing bugs. In this release, we addressed several bugs that affected different user groups.

General changes

• We removed the ‘Not validated’ label for organisations that are not eTwinning-validated (and may not be eligible for validation).
• It is no longer possible to copy or ‘duplicate’ courses, Erasmus+ postings or eTwinning project ideas created by other users or organisations.
• When opening a chapter of the Toolkit for School Success, there now is a button to see all that chapter’s resources.
• Lesson plans are now displayed only in the Teach area (no longer in Discover).
• The personalised report of the self-assessment tool on inclusion and wellbeing now shows each resource only once, even if it is relevant to multiple sections.

TwinSpaces

• A teacher can now always remove the pupils they have added to the TwinSpace.
• Pupils can now delete their own posts on their TwinSpace wall.
• The TwinSpace members list now shows the organisation the user joined the project. rather than the user’s default organisation, and for pupils it will show the last log-in date rather than ‘never’.
• The process to invite new users to the TwinSpace has been improved, specifically when you cannot find the person that you want to add.
• It is now (again) possible to add tables to pages.
• Several other, smaller fixes: textual clarity when inviting a user to a TwinSpace or project; the ‘send message’ button is no longer shown for pupils; the icon in Materials > Videos now shows that it’s a download button; uploading pictures is now possible for all pupils.

Groups

• eTwinners can now again be invited to Groups as Member, while not-validated users can now (only) be invited as Expert, Moderator or Observer.
• The search function to invite users to a Group is fixed, and now always shows platform users.
• The Revisions tab has been removed.

Other changes for eTwinners

• The design issues with the Mailbox have been addressed.
• When your name has non-Latin characters it will now display correctly on your Event certificate.
• Users who already are linked as Student Teacher to an Initial Teacher Education Institution can no longer add a second ITEI membership.
• For School Label Applications, draft submissions will get displayed in My Dashboard and several texts in the process (on the screen, in emails) will be more clear.
• When you have a project with a National and European Quality Label, in My Dashboard it no longer says that you don’t have any NQLs.
• As of next year’s application period, users whose NQL application got rejected will have a button to re-apply on the project landing page
• The European Prize application button is now only visible during the application period.
• Several texts have been improved to provide more and clearer information: for creating groups, uploading photos or videos, closing an eTwinning project idea or inviting users to a TwinSpace that don’t have an account on the platform yet.

Course catalogue

• Course sorting has been improved, both on the Learn landing page and in the course search. There are still some issues, which will be addressed in a future release.
• If a user has flagged a course and the report is closed as invalid, the course provider no longer receives a message that their course was blocked.
• Each course provider will only have 1 course displayed on the Learn landing page.

Minor release 20/03/2025

• It's possible again to comment and reply to comments in TwinSpace forums.
• When creating or editing a page in a TwinSpace, the parent page can now only be set to a page which can be viewed by the user.
