This summer, we released a wave of updates that make iSpring LMS more powerful for admins, more insightful for HRs, and more enjoyable for learners. From fresh integrations and new test types to smarter event management, each update is designed to help you deliver better training for your teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a roundup of what\u2019s new:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Richer Learning Content and Assessments<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bring world-class courses into your LMS with GoodHabitz<\/span><\/h3>\n

With our new integration, you can bring 150+ GoodHabitz courses straight into iSpring LMS. Covering digital skills, creativity, leadership, and productivity, these courses give employees access to top-quality training while you manage everything in one place. Assign, track, and analyze without switching systems. The GoodHabitz library has learning content in 16 languages \u2014 a great choice for multilingual teams.<\/span><\/p>\n\"GoodHabitz\n

To use this feature, connect your GoodHabitz account with iSpring LMS and assign courses just as you would any internal training. Learners\u2019 progress and results will automatically sync back, giving you a complete view of the learning activity. For example, you could launch a company-wide leadership program in multiple languages without having to build content from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check deeper understanding with card sorting questions<\/span><\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve also added a new test format: <\/span>card sorting questions<\/strong>. Instead of simply recalling facts, learners are asked to group items into the correct categories. This reveals whether they understand relationships between the ideas. For example, you can use it to match risks to prevention methods or products to the right customer segment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating a card sorting question is simple: add your items (text or images) and define the categories. iSpring LMS automatically formats the layout, so it looks good on any device. No need for manual design work \u2014 you\u2019ll have an adaptive, interactive question type ready in only a couple of minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Card-sorting-questions\"\n

Save time with instant quiz previews<\/span><\/h3>\n

Authors can now preview online quizzes instantly. This means no more clicking through every screen or question to see how the assessment looks. You can go straight to any question, check formatting, and resume editing immediately. This small change is a huge time-saver, especially for long or complex quizzes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply open your quiz in edit mode and hit <\/span>Preview > From the first slide <\/strong>or choose a specific question. You\u2019ll be able to move through the content freely and confirm that everything displays correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Instant\n

Keep learners focused with interactive Tabs in Pages<\/span><\/h3>\n

A new <\/span>Tabs block<\/strong> in iSpring Page helps you present complex information in a clear, structured manner. Instead of scrolling through walls of text, learners can switch between tidy, clickable tabs within a course. This makes it easier to digest information, saves space, and reduces cognitive overload \u2014 especially on mobile devices.<\/span><\/p>\n\"New\n

To add tabs, click on the + button and select Tabs. Edit the tab titles by removing the default text and entering your own. Add as many tabs as you need.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Add\n

Better Event and Training Management<\/span><\/h2>\n

Discover and join sessions faster with Training Catalog<\/span><\/h3>\n

The new <\/span>Training Catalog<\/strong> in the user portal makes it easier than ever for employees to locate upcoming events. All webinars, workshops, and training sessions are in one place, with filters according to category, trainer, or location. The \u201cUpcoming Events\u201d block highlights what\u2019s most relevant, while a calendar view helps learners plan ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n\"New\n

Learners can now enroll with a single click, giving admins clearer visibility into participation. To use the catalog, employees simply go to <\/span>Trainings \u2192 Training Catalog<\/strong> in their portal. For example, a sales rep can quickly spot a negotiation workshop happening next week, sign up instantly, and add it to their calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join a waitlist when events are full<\/span><\/h3>\n

Popular training events may fill up fast and leave some learners disappointed. With the new <\/span>Waitlist<\/strong> feature, employees can join a queue when an event is full and receive a notification if a seat becomes available. Admins can also monitor demand and schedule additional sessions when needed.<\/span><\/p>\n\"New\n

To enable this, set up your event as usual and activate the waitlist option. Learners who miss the initial registration can then add themselves to the list. You can also enable waitlists for existing training events.<\/span><\/p>\n\"New\n

Manage locations better with Venue Library<\/span><\/h3>\n

Admins can now add detailed location information for every training and even create group venues by city or office. This makes managing events across multiple locations simple, and learners know exactly where to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re running sessions across three offices, you can group venues by city. Employees registering for a course will see the exact address and room, saving time and avoiding confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

To use it, go to <\/span>Settings > Additional Options > Trainings > Locations<\/strong>. Then click <\/span>Add Location<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Add\n

Development Plans are now easier to manage with smarter task handling. You can reorder or duplicate tasks within a stage and see updates instantly without reloading the page. Task descriptions now also support bulleted and numbered lists, making them more structured and easier to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Development\n

Control reminders with customizable 360\u00b0 Review notifications<\/span><\/h3>\n

Performance reviews won\u2019t clutter your inbox anymore. With customizable <\/span>360\u00b0 Review notifications<\/strong>, you decide how and when reminders are sent. Adjust the frequency, delivery time, subject line, and message text to match your HR processes and employee preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n

To configure this, open the 360\u00b0 Review settings and customize the notifications as desired.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Customizable\n

For instance, instead of default daily reminders, you might set them for every two days at 10:30 AM when employees are more likely to take action without feeling overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Customizable\n

You can choose between Cursors and Gestures:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
