Highlights
Smart Import: Added support for generating "The Chase" and "Single Choice Set"
When using Smart Import, it's now possible to generate “The Chase” and “Single Choice Set”. The Chase is the first Live Engagement Tool supported by Smart Import. The Chase allows you to create a competitive game that can be run in real-time or self-paced. You can build your game with existing H5P content or create new content. To create an immersive experience, this content type allows you to add music, change themes, and present a live leaderboard while the learners are competing!Smart Import: Closed captions for all video uploads
Smart Import will now automatically add closed captions to uploaded videos. With this new improvement, you can ensure that your videos are accessible to more learners. Now you can spend more time focusing on building great content instead of adding captions manually!Other changes
