LearnShare Product Roadmap

The following is a near-term roadmap that highlights recent releases and shows new features, capabilities, and enhancements that we are planning to introduce to LearnShare.  Please note the following:

• The LearnShare product roadmap continues to evolve based on client needs and feedback.  Please note this is subject to change.
• We want to hear from you!   Feedback from our clients could result in us changing the priority of items on our roadmap.  For example, moving one item ahead of another, moving an item that is currently de-prioritized onto our roadmap or making other changes.  There are many ways for you to share your feedback, including participating in our periodic meetings with the LearnShare Client Feedback Group.  If you don't currently participate in these meetings, but would like to, please contact Derek Viglianti at derek.viglianti@ul.com.
• Whenever this roadmap is updated, there will be a LearnShare system announcement to let you know.

Save Instructors Time with Easier Attendance Tracking for Instructor-Led Training

• This will save instructors time having to manually track attendance and enter it into LearnShare later.

Keep You Abreast of the Latest EHS Training with Announcements of UL Solutions Course Updates

• Announcing updates to UL-licensed courses directly in LearnShare will eliminate the need to visit an external site to find out about course updates.

Improve the Employee Onboarding Experience with Focused Home Pages

• New employees can be presented with an onboarding version of the home page until a certain amount of time after hire date or until onboarding tasks are completed.
