Sunday, Sunset for the Classic UI

LatitudeLearningBlog PostSunday, Sunset for the Classic UI

It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Latitude’s Classic UI!

A month ago, we notified our customers still using the original “Classic” LMS user interface (UI) that in January, we would take steps to sunset that UI completely while transitioning all Classic UI portals to our modern, responsive user interface. Many of you have been working on the transition already with guidance from Latitude.

On Sunday, January 25, ALL LatitudeLearning portals which have not self-transitioned to the Responsive UI will be automatically transitioned.

This move is necessary to keep our LMS in line with a constantly changing technology landscape. It will also provide your learners with the flexible, mobile-friendly learning tools they expect. After this update Sunday morning:

  • The Classic UI pages will no longer be accessible and it will be impossible to flip back to the Classic Home as your login landing page or home page.
  • All portals which have not converted will be configured to use the My Learning Page as the default Home and Login Landing pages. These settings can be changed to point to other responsive pages at the portal administrator’s discretion.

We’ve created a transition support page with resources to help you understand the switch and manage any internal changes needed to make this transition for you as you support your learners.

Support for the Transition

This page contains information you will find helpful in understanding the responsive UI, its features, and how they correspond with what your learners may be used to using in the classic UI.

You’ll also find answers to commonly asked questions about the change, downloads you can use as a starting point for change management with your learners, and links to support site pages that your managers and students can use to find “how-to” support for their new features.
