What's New

Media library assets can now be tagged and filtered by tag, matching the tag system already available on lessons and courses.

Enterprise admins can now add IPA entries to the narration glossary for exact control over how premium AI voices pronounce technical terms.

The AI agent can now look up current information on the web — recent statistics, current events — while creating lessons. Org admins enable this per organization.

Lesson and course analytics are now a fullscreen experience — drill from course to lesson to individual learner, with richer activity charts, per-learner responses, and CSV, PDF, and certificate exports.

Reviewers can now leave comments on specific text inside interactive scenario tiles, including dialogue lines, answer choices, and feedback.

Themes now support up to 10 accent colors, each available in text formatting and highlight menus. Deleted accents can be restored from any tile that referenced them.

All AI avatars now ship with a matching ElevenLabs voice by default, and the voice picker has been redesigned with search, per-voice preview, and expanded language support.

Articulate Rise 360 courses with Custom blocks now import as rendered content instead of showing an unsupported placeholder.

Settings has been rebuilt as a full-page view with a cleaner sidebar, the main nav renamed to Home, and inline teamspace management for enterprise admins.

The AI agent now handles lesson builds that exceed 13 minutes, resuming automatically without interruption or error.

Accordion, Tabs, and Process tiles now accept audio files as their media element, anywhere a video could previously be added.

Learners in open-ended conversations now see a side panel explaining when and how to end the chat.

If a voice connection ever drops mid-conversation, learners can switch to text and keep going — no lost progress, no starting over.

Course completion certificates have a new clean design and include a QR code that learners — or anyone they share the certificate with — can scan to verify the completion.

All interactive scenario lesson content, including every branching path, is now fully accessible through the Mindsmith API.

Lessons can now be exported as standalone xAPI packages that send completion data directly to any LRS without routing through Mindsmith's servers.

AI chat sessions now show a context indicator that turns amber as the conversation fills up — so you know exactly when to start fresh for the sharpest responses.

Authors can now crop any image in the editor using a drag-and-drop crop dialog with rule-of-thirds guides for precise framing.

Multi-select questions now show feedback under each selected answer and display a Correct, Partial, or Incorrect result based on the learner's full selection.

Five new instructional skills — Clear & Focused, Narrative-Driven, Scaffolded Practice, Accessible & Inclusive, and Assessment Architect — are now available in the Mindsmith AI agent.
