WHAT'S FRESH? 

THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO

New navigation style

We’re in the process of rolling out an update to the top navigation in admin - that means the top bar with the menu, and the 2nd bar with the page title and tabs.

The goal is to both modernize the interface a bit, without disrupting existing users too much, while also solving some navigation problems that we’ve had for a while. Specifically, when you navigate into more complex objects, like Lists, Products, and Affiliate Programs, it’s super easy to get lost in the layers and layers of navigation.

As part of this project, we’ve released a new navigation header style on the page for a single media file.

More will follow.

If you’re someone creating videos on Simplero for your customers, I’d hold off on re-recording till we’re done. It’ll probably be another 4-6 weeks.

SEO improvement: Canonical URL

Site pages that have pagination, eg. blog and blog category pages, would have the canonical URL set to the first page of the pagination, instead of the page you were on, which is a technical SEO problem. This has been fixed now, so they include the page number.

SEO Improvement: Permanent redirect by default

Make redirects permanent when changing the URL of a page or blog post. Since this is the new permanent home for the new page, that’s both more accurate and better for SEO.

We’re working hard right now to dramatically improve Simplero for SEO performance, this is just a small piece of it.

Resend Broadcast to non-clicks (thanks, David)

You can now easily resend a broadcast to everyone who didn’t click a link in a given Broadcast.

Just go to the Broadcast under Broadcasts > Delivered, and click the button “Resend to people who…”

Now you can also choose people who “Did not click any links,” in addition at the other options that we had already.

Thanks, David for the suggestion over on the feature request board.

We’re in the process of moving all of the various images that you can add in different places over to using the Media Library, so you have all of your images and media in one place, and you can use the powerful image editor, and more.

As the latest installment in that project, the account favicon has now been moved to the media library.

That also means you’ll find the existing favicon moved to the media library.

A link to a course module will now show the course overview, scrolled to the module in question, rather than the first lesson in the course. This way people can see the description/intro text for the module, and they can choose to go to the lesson if they want. Also, if you still want to link to the first lesson, you can just link directly to that lesson.

Advanced quiz features on web and mobile

We have released a bunch of highly requested advanced features for quizzes that will allow you to use Simplero in even more scenarios:

  • Set a minimum passing score so you can make sure your students have learned the material sufficiently
  • Add an explanation for the correct answer so your students have a chance to learn from their mistakes
  • Set a time limit on the quiz so your students can't take forever to complete it
  • Prevent students from accessing the course content while answering a quiz, so you can test whether they actually internalized the information
  • See each individual quiz response so you can see exactly what each student answered

We hope these new features allow you to take your students and your business to new heights.
