Adjusted height for flipcards

If you have already worked with the flipcards, you have probably already had this “cosmetic” problem: if there are several flipcards in a row, the flipcards may be different sizes due to the different amount of content. This looked unattractive as the heights were different. In the flipcard style settings, there is a new setting ‘Adjust height to row’. If it is activated for all flipcards in a row, it ensures a uniform height.

Link editor: Mail link available

If you previously wanted to create a mail link, this was only possible via the external link. And here you had to know the syntax (mailto…). Now we have simplified this by creating a new link type explicitly for emails.

The following input fields are available:

  • Recipient(s) (E-mail address, supports multiple recipients, separate with comma)
  • Mail Subject
  • Mail Body

Slideshow, flipcard, background switcher – inline links

From now on you can set links in continuous text. Previously, this was only possible at the end of a slide/card/line. You set links in the continuous text in the same way as in the text editor.

Example: Set inline links in slideshows.

Element channel – expert predefined

When you create a channel, no expert was automatically stored. If you then forget to define an expert, the questions will go nowhere. To prevent this, you as the creator of the channel are now automatically defined as an expert. If you want to change this, define a different expert. However, an expert must always be specified (mandatory field).

User-Export: Export with current filter settings

Do you need a user export that contains your current filter settings? From now on you can export the current user filter by clicking on the corresponding checkbox. SCORM wrapper users remain unaffected by this.

New options for Interactive Simulation

The Interactive Simulation element has received several new appearance options.

All of the options can be found in the settings of the simulation on the right hand.

Inline player

If you disable “Simulation in fullscreen player”, the simulation will be presented within the content instead of opening in an overlay.

Large image/video

Using this option the image or video can be shown in a larger format.
If you add a new simulation, this option will be enabled by default.

Questions, answers and feedback on images/videos

Instead of presenting questions, answers and feedback beneath the image or video, those will be shown within the image/video.
This option is only available if you enable “Large image/video” and will be enabled for new simulations by default.

Navigation to the previous scene possible

If enabled, the simulation will show a “back” button in the top left, allowing users to navigate back to their previous scene – which ever that is.

Numbering of answers

“Numbering of answers in colored circle” can be used to completely turn off that the numbering is shown.
“Numbers instead of letters” switches the letters used by default to numbers.

Task management: Transcription of audio messages

This feature is only available if AI functionality is enabled in your setup.

If you got a task in our task management with an audio message, it is now possible to use AI to transcribe that message.

To do so, click the AI button next to the audio player. The transcription will then be added as an comment.

This feature does not yet work for audio messages within comments but will be added there as well.

Default accesses per language

Admins are now able to define default accesses for new content for each language independently.

In the user management it is possible to define accesses that are used for new content (learning modules, pages and playlists). We have now added the option to do this based on the language the content is created in.

Using this update you could set up a system where new content in the language English is only visible for all your authors but can be edited by your English authors.

To do so, go to the user management, select the tab “Default accesses” and select “+ Language” on the left. If a language has been created here, the Global default accesses are ignored for new content that is created in that language and the language specific accesses are used.

Search in multiple languages

The LXT search can now search across languages.

Up until now the search was limited to the language selected in the bottom right. With this update the search has a toggle named “Search in all languages”. If this toggle is enabled, results from all available languages are shown.

This works for both the classical keyword search and the semantic search available in Engagement tool setups with AI functionality.

Generating subtitles for videos and audios

This update is only available if you have AI enabled in your LXT setup. Please find more information on setting up AI in LXT here (in German).

You can now generate subtitles for your uploaded videos and audios using the AI. This eliminates the need for manual transcription work while making content accessible for all users.

Generated subtitles are also translated if you use either DeepL or XLIFF files for the translation process.

To generate subtitles you first need to upload the video or audio to LXT as usual. Afterwards hover over the element, click the cog wheel and then select the [cc] icon, opening the subtitle editor.
In the subtitle editor there is a new AI button beneath the media preview that starts the subtitle generation.

The generated subtitles and the time codes are imported into the subtitle editor and can be manually edited if necessary. Depending on the quality and complexity of the spoken language, a proofreading is recommended.
