The entire login process (OD-11935
) and the security
preferences (OD-11936
) have been rebuilt using our new user
interface. Users might notice several things:
the new design
a reminder to set two factor authentication
a prompt to change their password if it's considered of low quality
Although we've had two factor one-time-passwords (OTP) for about five years, few people have used it. Yes, it's slightly less convenient, but it does improve security by a huge amount, so onCourse will start nagging you to turn it on at every launch. You can still ignore these requests, but the administrator can enforce an OTP policy in the new security settings. The administrator can also increase the threshold of what we consider a rubbish password, forcing users to change to a better one.
With mailing lists being removed from onCourse (everyone is using more specialised
advanced tools like Mailchimp), we've repurposed the old functionality into 'special
interests' OD-11833
. This means that you can now add Contact tags
into data collection rules and make them part of the questions you ask during enrolment,
applications or waiting lists.
For example, you might like a set of checkboxes whenever someone adds themselves to a waiting list
Other than this course, what other areas of training are you interested in: [ ] leisure courses [ ] languages [ ] computer courses
Or, ask specific questions about experience, work history or profession as part of the enrolments process. Any set of Contact tags in onCourse can now be entered by students directly if you choose to make them part of a Data Collection rule.

work for now. OD-12018
Certificate expiry. You can now add an expiry date to a certificate record. Although VET certificates don't expire according to the standard, there are many cases where other bodies require regular recertification such as First Aid.
