Update: SLK Course Manager
A number of you have spotted that the recently released SLK Course Manager was not quite as expected. It was a surprise to us in the UK as well! I’ve included a screenshot below, but also got some clarification from the product group on what is happening. I would encourage those reading this blog to provide feedback directly on Codeplex. So, what is the position?
The main change lies in the UI which is very different from previous screenshots. The product group is currently producing training materials on how to customise the UI so that partners can differentiate themselves. Furthermore there will be a Software Development Kit (SDK) released that will help with customisation as well as supporting the addition of new features. I've been assured that UI changes are straightforward to make! Some partners have welcomed the generic UI as it allows them to customise in line with customer requirements.
Within the next few days Codeplex will be updated with more information, possibly including a separate section for Course Manager. A further reassurance is that SLK Course Manager will run on the released version of SLK 1.3.1 when available. I’m hoping that the new information on Codeplex will include the timescales associated with these developments. I’ll try and post new information on the blog as I get it.
