August 2023 Learning Hub updates

With this release, instructors can now pin announcements and global announcements to the top of the Announcement Widget, allowing important information to remain visible to learners. Announcements so pinned are indicated to learners as such with the use of a new pinned icon that appears on the announcement. Global announcements appear at the top of the Announcements widget before any announcements pinned within a course offering.

To help administrators and instructors better manage enrollment rules at scale, users with proper permissions can create an enrollment rule and apply it to as many courses as required.

Users can review and edit enrollment rules from the Enrollment Rules page, select Create Enrollment Rule to create a new rule, apply conditions to the rule, and associate that rule with multiple courses.

Figure: The Create Enrollment Rule workflow for Manager Dashboard users. Select Enrollment Rules in the More Actions menu, and click Create Enrollment Rule to create a new rule. Specify Rule Name, add conditions and select courses to apply this enrollment rule.

Previously, users could only create and add enrollment rules to a single course from the Course Offering Information page and therefore could only manage enrollment rules on a course-by-course basis.
