Feature Improvement

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.

Update to our Didactic AI

We are planning to roll out an update to our Didactic AI on Tuesday, the 27th of May.

The Didactic AI is a tool that allows you to automatically generate trainings based on a file you have uploaded. It requires the setup of AI functionality for your LXT environment, as documented (in German) here. Please contact our support if you are interested in adding AI functionality to LXT.

Please find an updated introduction to the Didactic AI in the video below. Following the video, we detail the updates to the Didactics AI from its previous version.

What’s new?

There are quite a few further changes to the Didactic AI, improving the behaviour in multiple ways:

More control over usage of input data

This update gives you more control of how the input data is used in your training. This also helps to improve the quality of the training content and avoid duplicate information.

To do so it replaces the step Learning goals with two steps Cards and Material assignment. The two new steps provide the user with more control over the output of the Didactic AI.

In the step Cards the Didactic AI suggests a list of cards for the training with the following properties for each of these cards:

  1. A title
  2. A learning goal
  3. Leading questions and a content draft for each leading question

You can add and remove cards and also change all of these properties for each card.

The next step Material assignment allows you to assign automatically detected segments from your input file(s) to each card. The Didactic AI also provides suggestions for this assignment.

Improved reliability of the training generation

LXT handles problems with the AI model better. This especially applies to problems with limits in the usage of the AI model. In this case the generation will not be cancelled but the system will wait some time and try again.
Low limits lead to slower generation, but should less likely to be a reason to cancel the generation.
In the Azure OpenAI this is the minimal recommended setup for models and limits:

  1. gpt-4o: 50.000 tokens and 300 requests per minute
  2. gpt-4o-mini: 200.000 tokens and 2.000 requests per minute
  3. whisper: 3 requests per minute
  4. dall-e: 3 requests per minute

Usage of images from input material

The Didactic AI is now able to include images from your uploaded files in the generated training. It does not use all of the images but tries to select images that have an additional value for the training content.

The correct selection of images and their usage is still work in progress. We have added the base functionality that this is possible but are going to improve the exact implementation in future updates.

Only images that have at least 100 Pixels in both width and height can be used right now.

Usage of notes in PowerPoint files

Notes added to a PowerPoint file are now also taken into account for the training content.
