We have added some new features to LearnCentrix which will be a first step in making us compatible with other browsers, such as Firefox, Apple and browser software for the visually impared. Coming very soon, you will see a few changes in the Course Explorer. Here's what it's going to look like:

At first glance it doesn't look a whole lot different ... so let us point out some of the new features!

• Notice that the Course Explorer window looks a little wider than usual in the above image. That's because it's now expandable. You can make it as narrow or as wide as you would like! This will allow for more room in the Content window or more room in the Course Explorer window; however it works best for you.
• Also notice the Roles button has been replaced so that you can see all of your roles at a glance. In the example above, the Developer in the course CE Testing also has two other roles as Instructor and Student. As a Developer, all of your roles in the course will be found in the Other roles folder. If you are one of our Developers that has a course with many offerings (where you may be an Instructor in over one hundred offerings) you will be able to see them all in this new folder.
• The Course Explorer still has the same "tree" structure that we're all used to and the same topic images. The only difference you may notice is that it loads a little faster. That's because, instead of loading the whole tree at once, we're loading the primary topics and then when you click on the expand topic (plus sign +) the children topics are loaded. So when you expand a topic you may see "Loading ... please wait." for a split second.
• In the grey bar at the top of both windows, you'll notice that we still have the "breadcrumbs" displayed along with the forward and backward arrows and page numbering. What you may notice is missing, is the full screen button. This button was only compatible with IE browsers, and in our effort to be compatible with other browsers, we have removed it. If this is a feature that you have built course material around, and you are a client with your own branded university with us, you may choose to keep it. We are recommending; however, that you don't, and instead tell your students to narrow the Course Explorer window so that the Content window is now larger.

We hope that you like the new Course Explorer improvements! If you have any questions or comments then feel free, as always, to email us (support@learncentrix.com) or add a comment at the bottom of this article!
