New release Study Guide 2.42

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Study guide and AI

As part of defining a long term strategy and getting more acquainted with providing AI in the TimeEdit product suite a choice has been made to start with implementing a first iteration of the TimeEdit AI coach in the Study Guide. The reason behind this is that this is considered a relative low impact solution that uses public available data as its source. The further vision is to incorporate more user/student centric support using the personal context of the student. E.g., using the study planner that can provide the study context of a student as additional input to the AI. This is further down the road, since the security and privacy requirements are higher and will gradually be added.

This first implementation offers the option to add the AI study coach tab to the study guide, available for students and employees. It allows using the AI question and response mechanisme a different way to search for information.

The AI Coach is added as a separate tab and supports an AI based search

The screenshot below is an example of the AI coach running at a customer that was so kind to 'provide their data' to support development and test the results based on real data, instead of our test set with dummy texts.

Based on the above conversation with the students questions to right, an advice with direct links to the relevant modules is given

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

Videos defined in descriptions are not shown - SG-425

The videos defined in the descriptions in Curriculum were not show in Study Guide. The cause has been found, fixed and now the define videos are visible and can be played again.

Header shown above the structure in the structure page should be language specific - SG-424

The structure configured with the structure widget and shown on a structure page (study, module group) has an introduction header. This header was always shown in English, and not using the translated label value. This has been fixed, so the header will respect and show the selected language.

As an admin it should be configurable to hide the print button - SG-410

The print button is default shown on each page in the study guide. An option is added to disable the Print button on all pages using a global configuration parameter.

Configuration:

  • Navigate to the Parameter menu under Administration
  • Set the print.visible parameter to false (hide) or true (show, the default value)

Use the global configuration to define the visibility of the Print button

As an admin I want to configure the filter 'name' for products - SG-418

Filters and its values defined in the Study Guide can be styled to show the code, name or a combination. This works for all filters, except the so-called product filters. A product filter is a filter on a curriculum standard object, such as faculty or study. In study guide this could be used to define a filter on faculty to only show programs for that faculty.

The product filter only showed the code and could not be styled. This has been changed, so the product filters can be style in the same way as other filters using the {code} and {name} setting. E.g.,

  • {code} to only show the code
  • {name} to only show the name
  • {name} ({code}) to show the name and the code between brackets

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

This release no vulnerabilities has been reported that require mitigation.

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.
