Feature Requests

Our redesigned landing pages feature a section that shows a selection of courses that are part of the "bundle" or core offering. The courses shown should align with our marketing and content strategy, i.e. they should be relevant and enticing to a prospective user. However, we don't currently have any control on which courses get shown at the top, or at all (since we'll always only be showing a selection of most bundles). An easy way to address this would be to add a checkbox next to the courses listed in the bundle on active admin. The column will be called "Show on landing page". This would give the content and marketing team direct control over which courses are shown. Alternatively, we can add a ordering feature to the list (similar to what we have for moving around bar tasks or diagnostic questions), so that we can manually move courses up or down on the list. As it stands, I think the order is arbitrary and we may end up showing less-than-relevant courses on the landing page.

Two safeguards would be helpful when creating new bundles (or changing the status of bundles) in active admin: Only one bundle should be allowed to have a published status linked to a single jurisdiction. If we try to add a published bundle to a jurisdiction that already has one, there should be an error The number of credits set should match the number of courses added. If they don't match, there should be an error and the bundle creation should be blocked These are not high priority because we don't expect to do much in terms of new bundles moving forward. But they'd align with how bundles are expected to work at this point.

Send various push notifications to CLE mobile app users. Notifications can include reminding users of upcoming reporting deadlines and featured courses.

Is there anyway to filter, for for filters to be added, to filter out the courses that I've already taken? Additionally, when considering the credit worth (1 CLE, 1.4 CLE, etc.) could there be a filter added, or more information such as sort by hours AND the credit hours in the general overview?

Presenter credentials is a factor that CLE users will consider when selecting a CLE course to watch. We work with a lot of impressive presenters and should use them in our marketing efforts. We can include part of a presenter’s bio, their photo, and links to any courses they’ve done with us in “Presenter Spotlight” posts to be used in emails and on social media (especially LinkedIn).

We should automatically email users who leave courses uncompleted after a certain number of days. This would hopefully help to increase overall course completions and eliminate reporting issues when users wait long periods of time between starting and finishing a course.

Currently on the course page we only list a presenter-written course description and the course transcript. To give users a better idea of whether or not they should spend time taking the course, we could list the course information in sections such as “Overview,” “What You Will Learn,” and “Topics.” Possibly a section for “Who should watch.” Under Overview, we would show the course description. Under What You Will Learn, we’d show the course learning objectives. This field already exists in active admin. Under topics, we could list the practice area sub-topics (also already in active admin). We would need to be able to tag more than one topic per practice area. For example, the course Drafting Mediation Statements could be tagged with ADR, Plaintiff, Drafting, etc. The topics listed on the page could also help with SEO.

Currently, the featured course is the same for CLE users across all practice areas. However, it is less likely that CLE users will view a course that is not applicable to their practice. Example: An M&A attorney is unlikely to watch a Litigation or Trial Skills course, even if it is “featured”. Featuring a course to users that is specific to their practice area would make it more likely they would view the course. This also makes the experience easier on the user because the featured course is something applicable to them and they don't have to do a filtered search.
