Entity carousels
Learner Portal displays a new interface with a carousel system that changes its naming and the content distribution. The aim is to make it easier to identify content, distinguish between mandatory and optional, and access the trainings. These changes affect both the carousels displayed on the screen and the sections of the side menu.
This changes the previous system, oriented to entities (courses, pathways, events), for another one based on the type of training (mandatory, optional, in progress, completed). It also introduces multi-entity carousels, which can contain courses, pathways and events at the same time, differentiated by the thumbnail:
- pathways have an icon in the upper corner with several tabs, and the number of contents are displayed above the title
- events display the start date in a box in the upper corner
Side menu is redesign, grouping the carousels in related blocks.
Clicking on the title of the carousel you can access the complete list.
In this table you can see the new carousel distribution and the function of each one:

About carousels behaviour
Start date
The content's start date may vary its visibility in the carousels:
-
Required: all contents are displayed regardless of their start date
-
Explore: depends on the type of content:
- Courses and pathways: displayed if the start date has been met (training currently open)
- Events: always displayed, regardless of the start date
-
Soon: contents are displayed if the start date is coming soon (planned training).
Required content
If there is no required content in a pathway, the progress bar behaves as if all courses were required.
Completeness
When a content is completed it will stop showing in the automatic carousels. It will only be displayed in:
- My list, until the user clicks the Remove from my list button
- Customed carousels
Users can still access completed content through the Learning records section, until the training is closed or deleted.
