One feature that we are very excited about in NexPort Campus 5.5.0 is the addition of Conditional Prerequisites for assignments. In previous versions NexPort has allowed curriculum developers to assign prerequisites to assignments. These prerequisites allowed the developer to control student progress by blocking an assignment until other assignment(s) was completed.
NexPort Solutions, a leader in the highly secure learning management sector, was highlighted in a recent report by the U.S. Department of Education’s (USDOE) Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education (OCTAE) as a primary example of “Successes of Early Implementers” for online based educational programs in correctional facilities.
NexPort Campus allows for the use of the Velocity Templating Language (VTL) in many of its text fields. These templates allow site administrators and curriculum developers to include intelligent text, such as the current student’s name, organization information, enrollment data or most other information about the student. In 5.3.0 we’ll release an updated version of the template properties reference. Here is a quick demo.
NexPort Campus version 5.3 will be released around the end of the summer and includes many exciting new features. One new feature is the ability to mark one instructor in a section as the Primary Instructor.
