New

Programs

It is now possible to create Programs that include a predefined sequence of Courses and Assessments across several skill levels. 

Programs allow Admins to

• Define the number of skill levels or belts that learners will follow
• Choose whether to include Assessments in a program
• Define the number of Courses (and associated Assessments) for each level
• Where Assessments are used, provide options for pre and/or post-Course Assessments
• Select previously created Courses and Assessments for inclusion in the Program
• Automatically assign learners to a Learning Program (everyone, by team or by tag), with invites sent automatically to the relevant learners for each stage at the appropriate time. Set and forget!
• Amend the configuration on a level-by-level basis

Admins will be able to see how many learners have reached each Course/Assessment/Level in the Program, plus who has passed/failed/completed each stage and where there are potential bottlenecks.

Learners will:

• See Programs to which they have been invited, or are in progress on their dashboard
• See a visual representation of the entire Program
• See a visual representation of which Course or Assessment to take next
• See a visual representation of which Courses and/or Assessments they have completed, in the context of an entire Program
• Receive email notifications when they complete a Course or Assessment, and guidance on what to do next

Speak to your Customer Success Manager about how to take advantage of this new capability, or check out the Help documentation here.

Navigation changes

We've been adding functionality for a while, but we can see it's made the navigation a bit too complex. To help with that, we've brought Courses and Assessments into a single "Guided learning" menu and added the new Programs option there too.

We've also changed the Coding Labs menu item to "Explore"

Explore replaces Coding Labs

The Coding Labs page has been renamed to Explore. This page will continue to evolve in the coming months as we add more of our content to this format and enable users to more easily find activities they want to play to supplement their guided learning.

Coding Labs

Coding Labs are now available for Learners who code using Terraform:AWS.

The Coding Labs page has been renamed to "Explore" and has been redesigned. This work is preparation for the addition of other learning content on this screen - watch this space!  👀

AI Awareness Videos

• Advantages of using AI when coding
• Potential Dangers of using AI when coding

Japanese translations

When translating the UI to Japanese, challenge descriptions are now also translated. 

Assessment Performance Report (Preview only)

Customers with Preview turned on can access a new Assessment Performance report with performance breakdown for one or more vulnerabilities.

This report is just the beginning. Look out for a slew of standard reports launching over the next few months for Assessments, Courses, Programs and Tournaments.
