What’s New in SAP SuccessFactors Learning H1 2024?
This update promises a more engaging and personalized learning experience for your employees. Here are the key highlights:
- Enhanced Flexibility:
Learners can now choose how to handle optional assignments in the Integrated Learning Experience (ILX) view. No due dates on these assignments promote a self-paced learning style.
- Personalized Recommendations:
The “Suggested for me” section gets a boost with recommendations from both administrators and peers, driving learner engagement with relevant content.
- Branding and Customization
New banner functionality allows organizations to personalize their learning portal with messaging and branding, guiding learners. Admins can also create custom cards with video content for a more personalized touch.
- Simplified Learning History
Reviewing past training records is now easier with a revamped learning history interface, making it simpler to track progress and identify skill development opportunities.
- Streamlined Learning Experience:
Taking the ILX to the next level, this update allows administrators to completely hide the legacy experience. Now, employees access all learning through a single, unified interface.
- Bulk User Merge:
Save administrators time by merging learning records from multiple users into one using the Import Tool. Each file can handle up to 200 records, with a monthly limit of 5,000 merges. Data validation ensures accuracy while streamlining admin tasks.
Beyond the Highlights:
The 2024 SAP SuccessFactors releases include additional notable upgrades such as SCORM 1.2 support, a Learning Cross-Domain Proxlet, deprecation of unload browser events (for improved data handling), and automation of the Instance Refresh tool.
A Look Ahead:
These updates are expected to cater to the evolving needs of learners and administrators, paving the way for a more seamless integration of Learning and Development into your organization’s growth strategy.
