Improvements to the video layout

We have done a few improvements on the video appearance.

Background of the controls

The video controls now have a dark background that fades out into the video.

Usage of the controls in small videos

We have improved the layout of the controls if the video has a small width. Previously the progress bar became quite small in some cases, now we are hiding other elements of the controls to allow full access to the progress bar.

Rounded corners for videos

In the style settings of a video (available using the magic wand in the green or orange menu) there is a new option “Rounded corners” that allows to set slightly or strongly rounded corners for the video itself.

Captions styled by LXT

The captions of videos are now styled by LXT itself. The previous version was provided by the browser and looked different depending on the browser used. This allows us more control and to ensure a good visibility of the captions.

Inviting reviewers

Users that are allowed to edit content are now by default also able to invite others to review their content.

To do so you only have to give the mail address. If no user with that mail address exists, an user will be created and a mail is sent to the mail address allowing the user to set up a password.
All required permissions are then given to the existing user and they are informed by mail about the review opportunity.

If you do not want this option in your system, you could either disable the option “Allow invitation of new reviewers” in your feature management or contact support@bildungsinnovator.com.

How to invite reviewers

Users with edit permissions can either select “Share” in the sidebar on the right hand side and then select “Invite reviewer” or they can select “Invite reviewer” in the permissions dialog.

Invite reviewers from the “Share” dialog.

In both cases a new dialog opens that asks for a mail address.
The toggle “Inform users of their authorization by email.” allows to disable the mail informing the user about their new permission.
Newly created users always receive a mail containing their username and a link to set up a password.

DeepL – Support for glossaries

You have been able to translate your learning modules in LXT with DeepL for some time now. When translating, it can happen that certain words require a specific translation. For this purpose, DeepL uses so-called glossaries. These glossaries can now also be taken into account in the translation process in LXT.

Relation quiz: images available

You can now use images in a matching quiz. The images all have a fixed aspect ratio. Please note that this feature is only available for the following three stylesheets:

Answers positioned right (one below the other)
Answers positioned below (side by side)
Answers positioned below (one below the other)

Notice on AI-generated content

You can now label the elements text, image and the quiz elements (choice text, value slider, order, relation, value input, date input) so that they have been generated with AI. If you are working with AI in LXT, this label isn’t preset. However, you can activate it via the appearance of the element.

Further colours in the colour controls

We expand the colour palette for two UI elements in LXT to a maximum of seven (previously a maximum of three was possible: primary colour, light, dark).

Slideshow: Colour of the controls/arrows
Slideshow / Flipcard: Colour of the icons (may be chosen individually for each card)

If you would also like to have other colours for these elements, please send us the exact values to support@bildungsinnnovator.com.
