This month, we’ve introduced a range of updates across M: Suite, Kineo Courses, and Learnforce, designed to improve learner experience, streamline administration, and support more impactful workplace learning. From enhanced reporting and quiz functionality to new compliance content and platform improvements, here’s what’s new. 

What is new this month 

M: Suite 

Smarter quiz functionality in Content Hub 

We’ve introduced new quiz functionality within Content Hub, giving organizations more ways to reinforce learning and measure understanding. The update includes support for single and multi-select question types, along with flexible configuration options such as: 

  • Immediate or delayed feedback 
  • Quiz retakes 
  • Banded scoring and personalised feedback 

Easier Credly badge redemption and sharing 

Claiming and sharing badges is now simpler than ever. Learners can now redeem Credly badges in a single click and share achievements directly to their LinkedIn profile. 

Improved reporting experience for customers 

Reporting is now fully integrated into the client toolkit and aligned with your organization’s brand colours for a more seamless experience. We’ve also introduced several usability improvements and expanded reporting capabilities to include Skills Bites usage data. 

A cleaner, distraction-free direct to member experience 

We’ve removed pop-up adverts from the direct to members platform, creating a more focused and uninterrupted learning experience for users.
