Kiosk Mode Updates
Language Buttons
The admin or learner can change the locale to English-US, French-CA, or Spanish-US by choosing the specific language button on the bottom of the sign-in screen. This will change the Kiosk mode display language on both the log in screen and the My Playlist screen.
My Course Screen in Spanish - US:
My Course screen in French-CA:
The learner no longer needs to highlight the course and then click a play button. Each course will play when the learner clicks anywhere on the line that contains the course title.
When the learner completes the course, test, or evalutation successfully, a window will appear with the status of a successful completion.
Successfully completed courses, tests, and evaluations will not be available for replay. This is denoted by the ‘complete’ status on the right. There will not be a ‘Play’ icon on the left side and the title bar will be greyed out.
If the learner does not pass the course, test, or evaluation a message will appear with the status of ‘In Progress'.
Unsuccessfully completed courses, tests, and evaluations will not be available for replay with ‘In Progress' status on the right. There will not be a ‘Play’ icon on the left side and the title bar will be greyed out and inactive.
Allow Retakes
The admin can set Kiosk mode so that ‘In Progress’ or unsuccessfully completed courses, tests, or evaluations can be retaken within the same Kiosk session by checking the box next to “Repeat ‘In Progress’” activities. The default for this setting is off.
When this setting is selected an ‘In Progress’ activity can be retaken an unlimited number of times during the Kiosk session until the learner successfully completes the activity.
Installer
Please note that a new and improved Player USB installer is included in the Player 6.5 release!
