AF Module Updates | Jan 2022
It's been a while since we released a newsletter update but over those few months, we have been continuously adding capabilities to the AF Module Software—based on what you, our customers, need—serving every Alliance Française who are using the platform worldwide.
Below are just some of the features we've added and bugs we've squashed. 🙌
But before anything else, we introduce you to our new team members.
Meet Manuel and Neil 😎
We welcome Manuel and Neil to the team, who will be taking on software development, improvement and support role here at Oncord. The addition of these two developers is our display of commitment to providing you with better software and support.
Watch out for them in your inbox as they assist you with your AF Module questions and concerns.
Alliance Française Student Portal 🎉
This is a whole new section of the software where students can login and view their courses with its own course feed. The course feed is a constantly updating list of posts which includes assignment and document updates, photos, videos, links, comments and likes from people who are enrolled in the same course.
The admin and teacher both have access to their own course feed and can interact with it whether creating an assignment, uploading documents and many more.
Additionally, the student portal provides the student access to the course selector, their own profile, downloading of own
membership card, a view of their timetable and more.
Books renamed to Course Materials 🎉
The Books link under the AF menu has been removed and the page is renamed as Course Materials and is now placed at Courses >
