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.

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

• Courses are now sorted correctly by the starting date of their first session, both on the Learn landing page and in the course search. There still is an issue with sorting when a date filter is applied. This 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.

Other 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.

• It's possible again to comment and reply to comments in TwinSpace forums.
