    We've been working hard behind the scenes to ensure your Acadle experience is seamless, intuitive, and dynamic. We’re thrilled to present some exciting features that we believe will make your journey even more enriching. Let's dive right in!

     

    🎥 Introducing Video courses 🎥

     

    Say hello to our all-new Video Courses. Designed keeping in mind the modern visual learner, these courses prioritize video-based learning. With a layout meticulously crafted for a visual learning experience, you'll find it more engaging and intuitive than ever before. Dive into the world of immersive learning now!

     

    📚 Dynamic Lesson Templates : A Game-Changer 📚

     

    We understand that consistency is key in educational courses. Therefore, we're excited to introduce the ability to mark a lesson as a 'Template'. This dynamic feature means that if you make changes to a lesson designated as a 'template', those changes will automatically be reflected in every other lesson that uses this template. No more repetitive updates for multiple groups across various courses. Time-saving just reached a new level!

     

    💾 Save and Reuse with Our 'Static' Templates 💾

     

    Crafted the perfect lesson and wish you could replicate its structure across other lessons or courses? Well, your wish is our command! With the 'Save as Template' feature, you can now save any lesson as a 'static' template. This means that while you can replicate its structure wherever you wish, any changes you make to lessons using this template will remain unique to that lesson. Enjoy the convenience without compromising on individuality!

    New Feature
    Improvement

    While you went incognito this holiday, we added some cool updates to the community (Engage) feature. Following are the new additions, let me know your thoughts;

You also have an option to 'follow' the post to get alerts where there is any new reply or discussion.
    • 😎 Disable replies: As an admin, you can now 'stop' responses to a post
    • ⚠️ Report a post: Users can now 'report' a post to the admin if it's spam, offensive etc. and the admin can remove the post if necessary
