Dear OpenOLAT community

The OpenOLAT 10.3 release is an iterative evolution of the 10.0 release and contains all 9.0.x to 9.4.x and 10.0 to 10.3 bugfix packages, you can download it from here: http://www.openolat.org/downloads.html

The OpenOLAT 10.3 release focus on two major issues: a brand new task and group-task element and a new reminder tool in the course. 

The existing task element in the course has been completely redesigned to be simpler and more intuitive to configure and to use. A clear workflow is implemented which is reflected in the GUI using a workflow progress bar. In the the new task element is available in two flavors: task and group task. While in the normal task element every single students gets a task assigned to work on in the group task element the task is assigned to a group of users. The group works on the task and the result is also submitted as a group, not as an individual. From the coaching perspective the grading process has also a group view with the option to override the group grading to perform individual adjustments for each group member. 

The reminder tool offers a great way to improve the communication with your students and enhance engagement. Multiple rules can be defined with dedicated messages which are sent to students whenever a rule matches. For example, send a welcome message when someone registers to your course. Or send a reminder to do the pre-test one day before the due date of the pre-test. Or send a reminder to all users who did not yet fill out the questionnaire. The possibilities are endless.

The release includes many more features, improvements and important bugfixes, both on user interface and workflow as also on technical,  performance, stability and security level. Have a look at the detailed list below and check out release notes http://www.openolat.com/features/releasenotes/new-features-10-3/?lang=en

OpenOLAT 10.3 is the best and most secure OpenOLAT release yet and we recommend installing it as soon as possible for all OLAT and OpenOLAT users.

OpenOLAT 10.3 can be downloaded from there: http://www.openolat.org/downloads.html

Best regards
The OpenOLAT development team
