As part of Digitalbrain’s continuing program of improvement we are pleased to announce Site Release 1.5 will go live on Wednesday 1st August subject to passing QA and testing. This release contains improvement in two key areas:

• New Discussion Forums
• New Adaptamations and Adaptamation Viewer

Forums

The new Forum application has been developed to replace the existing mail discussion functionality within Digitalbrain. Re-designed from the ground up, Forums bring with them massive improvements in terms of look and usability. Developed using our Portlet technology this new application meets and exceeds all current BECTA requirements for a discussion forum within a Learning Platforms.

Adaptamations

When looking for adaptamations to insert into Learning Module pages an new thumbnail browser will be displayed. Dividing the Adaptamations into types the browser will display a thumbnail image coupled with a description of how that Adaptamation works.

To accompany the new browse and insertion process we will be including three new Adaptamations. These new Adaptamations include an image gallery that can pull through image collections from the web site Flikr or from a folder within a Digitalbrain portal.

Further details and updated help files will be available on our updates and help portals at http://updates.digitalbrain.com & http://help.digitalbrain.com respectively, as well as tips on how to make the most of these new features.
