      Release notes history for the Rockstar Learning Platform

      November 14 2024

      Version 2.7.1

      November 14, 2024

      Feature Enhancements 

      • Completion Tracking for MicroBuilder: MicroBuilder now supports tracking completion for individual blocks within a module, each carrying equal weight. The completion of all blocks contributes to 100% module completion. Key completion criteria are outlined below:
      • Text Blocks & Images: Marked complete when fully viewed.

      • Scored Quizzes: Marked complete upon passing the quiz or if attempt limit is reached. Pass/fail status is tracked separately.
      • Non-scored Knowledge Checks: Marked complete upon attempt.
      • Games, Arcades, VR, and Embedded Content: Completion marked upon launch, with outcomes not tracked within MicroBuilder.
