End of Course Completion Updates
We added an End of Course Completion Session for participants who complete both Volumes (1 and 2) of LETRS.
This session includes a congratulatory message, a summary transcript, and a new Course Completion Certificate, showing participants that they have completed the entire LETRS course.
We also added the ability for participants to download the new Course Completion Certificate by navigating to My Profile > Transcript or My Profile > Documents.
Course managers: find a participant's Course Completion Certificate by navigating to the participant's Individual Overview page and selecting the Transcript tab.

LETRS
Sound Library
We created the Sound Library, a new resource that allows participants to practice the sounds of English, either on their own or with students.
Participants: find the Sound Library in the Resources menu in LETRS, LETRS for Early Childhood Educators, and LETRS for Administrators.
Session Attendance
We added two separate views on the Session Attendance tab of the Overview page for course managers.
The Session Records and Attendance Records views allow course managers to download session records and attendance records separately.
LETRS
The Individual Overview page
We added the ability for course managers to navigate to a participant's Individual Overview page and see their user status in their profile box.
Progress Report Download File
In LETRS, the Progress Report has a single column for Location.
We added a second Location column, but only when you download the file for the Progress Report.
One column will show Location or District, and another column will show School. School-level educators will have both columns filled in on the downloaded report, showing both their Location or District and their specific assigned School. The School column will be empty for educators not assigned to a specific school.
License Expiration Notification
We added a notification for participants whose licenses are set to expire within 30 days. The notification directs you to download your course materials in the Document Center before your license expires.
LETRS

We added the option for course managers to download all of a participant's PL session attendance certificates.
Navigate to that participant's Individual Overview page, scroll to the bottom, select the Attendance tab, and select Download All.
