Release Notes — April 2026

New summative metrics report (reports/metrics.php) providing a platform-wide learning activity summary: total active learners, lesson completions, quiz pass rates, badge issuances, and engagement trends over configurable time periods. Intended for senior administrators and board-level reporting. The daily metric snapshot cron captures the data points that feed this report.

Integration with healthcheck.io for cron job heartbeat monitoring. Each scheduled cron job pings a unique healthcheck.io URL on successful completion. If a job fails to check in within its expected window, healthcheck.io sends an alert email to the administrator. Provides visibility into cron job health without requiring server-side log monitoring.

In-platform flash messaging system. Delivers time-limited messages to individual users or all members of an association on their next login. Used for: maintenance notices, feature announcements, and onboarding prompts. Messages are dismissed on read.

Personalised “Where Next?” recommendation widget on the learner dashboard. Analyses the learner's completion history, role tags, IFQ level, and IWTB aspiration to suggest the three most relevant next lessons. Powered by a weighted scoring algorithm across lesson metadata and learner profile.

• Lesson Review Queue (educator/lesson-review-queue.php) — AI-injected lessons enter a moderated queue before going live. Educators approve, edit, or reject each submission.
• Lesson Material Orchestration Pipeline — end-to-end pipeline: source content → AI enrichment → metadata extraction → review queue → publish. Supports batch processing of large content sets.

REST-style API endpoint for programmatic lesson and material creation. Enables external tools (Python scripts, CMS integrations, content crawlers) to inject structured lesson content — title, description, URL, material type, tags — into the platform. iFrame embeddability is auto-detected on ingest.

HTTP referrer is now captured in the audit log for lesson and material access events. Allows administrators to see which external sites are driving traffic to specific lessons — useful for understanding content discovery paths and marketing attribution.

Automated daily digest email summarising PHP errors, failed cron jobs, and database warnings from the previous 24 hours. Sent to the platform administrator email address. Reduces the need to monitor server logs manually.

TikTok and Pinterest added as social media publishing channels alongside the existing Twitter/LinkedIn connectors. Each channel is a self-contained plugin module (same interface). The cron worker posts lesson and content highlights on a configurable schedule.

Image and video capture directly from mobile device camera integrated into the content submission flow. Learners and educators can capture and attach media directly on mobile without navigating to a file picker.

Workflow canvas upgraded to jsPlumb v6.x with dynamic container width management. Canvases now adapt to their container width, improving the workflow designer experience on tablets and smaller laptop screens.

WordPress plugin enabling LEAST lesson embeds in WordPress pages and posts via shortcode: [least_lesson id=“…”]. The plugin authenticates against the LEAST API and renders a responsive lesson embed with completion tracking passed back to LEAST.

Cron-based media management jobs for automated social media content: video thumbnail extraction, image resizing for platform requirements, and scheduled posting queues for image and video content on connected social channels.

Twitter/X social posting cron engine completed with: configurable posting schedule, content selection rules (newest lessons, top-rated content, featured items), hashtag templates, and posting history log to prevent duplicates.
