Release Notes (15 January, 2026) - Gating Enhancement

The following improvements have been made to the platform:

Learning paths now support enhanced configurable pacing modes, giving you more control over how students progress through the learning path.

Pacing modes (selected during setup):
Self-Paced

Fixed-Pace

Fixed-Pace Enhancements
Each unit includes a "Gated by Due Date" setting (enabled by default).

Enabled: Students must complete the unit and reach the due date to unlock the next unit.

Disabled: Students progress based on completion only while due dates still determine late status.

Flexible gating is available only in Fixed-Pace mode.

Units can be selectively un-gated to support varied instructional flows.

Self-Paced Behavior
Units unlock based on completion only.

Due dates are advisory and used for late status display, not progression.

Gating controls are disabled.

Enhanced Due Date Management
Due-date configuration screen has been enabled:
Due date calculator for planning purposes only.

Changes to a unit's due date also update its corresponding day-offset.

For fixed-pace learning paths with gating enabled, due dates cannot be set before prerequisite units.

UI/UX Upgrades
This release includes UI/UX enhancements that streamline configuration and navigation. General, Learning Progression, Mastery & Grading, and Diagnostic settings have been reorganized under the Settings tab as sub-tabs.
