Can’t find your site - Help and Support

Link to page specifying how to find your learning site, with help / email link configured to open email in default email app for mobile OS with contact email linked.

Learning Site Directory - Configuration Load

For each learning site linked to an application, all necessary configuration should be retrieved (or already available in the mobile build.)

A directory of learning sites should be included in the application with all necessary configuration details for known learning sites enabled in that app.

As a nice to have, it would be nice to keep the latest version of this directory in a server (not just in the build of the app) so that the mobile application can receive updated information to account for configuration errors or updates from the latest directory, such as new sites.

A specific listing of which parameters will be necessary / enabled in the directory is still TBD.

Private + Public Directory Listings

We may want to account for sites that do not want to be listed in the search / discovery flow for this step. The only way to link your account to this type of learning site would be be via a deep link or some other kind of code entry?

Learning Site - Cached Assets and Configuration

When a learning site is selected, students should be taken to the main home page for their selected learning site.

Application Navigation Changes

As part of this change, we plan to separate profile details (who I am as a learner) with application settings (controls and configuration). The profile is elevated to being a main core navigation page along with Courses, Programs, Discovery, (plus Profile).

The App Settings page in the top right will remain, but link to a full in-app page. The Learning Site selection setting will be shown at the top if this feature is enabled. (Additional notes for this in the next row.)
