Below each tutorial we could see all the lessons in which it is referred and where it is referred exactly in the lesson. There are still things to be improve, but we would work on them later


[Content Creation 2.0] Allow picture uploads by authors

All users can now upload images from the rich text editor. The old button for uploading images to the editor is now deprecated.

[IS] Have a dynamic autoplay that always takes about 15 seconds

When instructions are played that always take about 15 seconds. If the robot is larger than more steps are skipped. The whole robot is divided on 23 steps if it is large but no less than 4 steps when skipping.


You can arrive at a specific step of the IS using "s=XXX" as a param in the url.

This is an officially supported API and could be used in lessons, materials, tutorials and everywhere.

[Learn-at-Home-2.0] How to show course sections as tutorials

For now we stop at the following solution. Each tutorial is shown as a tutorial and a preview of the lessons in which the tutorial is used is shown below the tutorial.

This gives information about the lesson and the tutorial could be used as an intro and add for the lesson


[MGE-1.0] MGE Login in

You are now able to enrol in a MGE opened group no matter if you are a new user, old user, logged in or not.
