H5P Migration
Choose one.
Either Activity type works fine on its own, but both together tends to
cause issues. Especially so if they are both in the same course.
● Manage a transition from old to new by using the
capability settings in the role. Disable the ability to
add new instances of the type you do not want to
have used.
● Existing instances will work and can be interacted
with (instructors can download their packages) but
cannot make new instances.
● There is a command line only conversion tool that
will make an improved appearance in a future
release from us.

UX and UI improvements
Quiz navigation improvement in Snap
If a quiz had more than 50 questions in Snap, the quiz navigation didn’t allow a proper interaction with the
question buttons. This was redesigned and organized for a correct visualization and navigation of the different
questions.

UX and UI improvements
Page resource without any text
When the page resource didn’t contain text in Snap, all other contents were displayed to the left by default. This
was resolved to improve the UX of all content types.

UX and UI improvements
The "Pop-up" option in the page resource
The “Pop-up” option in the page resource was confusing for some of our users, so we removed it to improve the
experience.

Accessibility improvements
Within our roadmap, each quarter we have a devoted
project time to improve accessibility issues within our
platform.
2020 VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template)
for Boost and Snap:
The Voluntary Product Accessibility Template is a
third-party review of our platform, using Boost or
Snap. It evaluates how accessible we are, and how
every reviewed element complies with the Revised
508 Standards for IT accessibility

Accessibility improvements
Based on the VPAT and other internal findings, the
team worked on improving several aspects of
accessibility in our SNAP theme:
● Underline decorations and clear hover
behaviors to links
● IDs definitions and differentiations
● Aria-labels and titles added
● Snap carousel
