Navigation and Dashboard

The Learner Navigation Menu now appears on the left side of the screen with updated icons, making it easier for Learners to find content across any device.

 

Dashboard Ribbons have a visible background and pagination controls, and Dashboard Tiles such as Inbox, FAQ, and What's Next have been refreshed with cleaner layouts and improved descriptions.

 

The Billboard tile now includes accessibility fixes, pagination, a pause-autoplay control, and video playback controls, and supports a minimum width of 600px.

Course Cards

Course Cards have been redesigned for clarity and consistency. Course titles are always fully visible, statuses are clearly labeled rather than only color-coded, and action buttons reflect the next step for each Learner (Add to Cart, View, Enroll, Start, Resume). Pin, share, and view details actions are accessible from an overflow menu, Mandatory Courses have updated indicators, and an Instructor label has been added to Instructor-Led Courses (ILCs).

 

Course Card Image Sizing

Course Card images now follow a wider format at 661x372px, aligned with the 16:9 ratio used by the Course Player. It may also be valuable to test with an image aligned with a 2.08:1 ratio. Existing images that do not meet the new dimensions will auto-fill with a background to fill the image area, so no Learner-facing content will break. Admins may want to update thumbnails to take full advantage of the new format.

Course and Curriculum Details

The Online Course Details and Curriculum Details modals have been rebuilt for accessibility and responsiveness. Course and Curriculum titles now appear outside the poster image for consistent readability, icons have been updated, and components use the new design system for a modern, consistent look across devices.

Curriculum Details now opens as a modal rather than a separate page, providing consistency across all Course types, and Lessons display in an improved horizontal card or list view.

 

My Courses, Catalog, and Search Results

My Courses, Catalog, and Search Results share a new left-side filter panel that lets Learners browse by Status, Category, Tags, Language, and more. The experience is aligned with modern online retail patterns, and filter controls, including Language and Tag drop-downs, are easier to access on mobile devices. The Course Bundle filter has been removed from My Courses.

For deeper detail on these pages, see The New My Courses Page and New Catalog Page.

 

Course Player

The Course Player has been rebuilt with a collapsible sidebar, a full-screen mode that keeps navigation controls visible, and action buttons that update based on the Learner's position in the Course. Progress bars and navigation buttons now sit on top of the player, and call-to-action buttons change based on course state, for example, Start, Resume, Next Lesson, Review, and Completed.

 

New chips highlight the Course state, In Progress, Completed, Not Completed, Failed, and Not Started, and additional Lesson states have been added, including Currently Playing, Pending Approval, and Not Started. The previous view-options control has been removed, since the sidebar can now be expanded or collapsed directly. On mobile, a bottom-sheet view of lesson details remains scrollable, and the progress bar and action button stay visible in landscape mode.

 

Absorb Learning Mobile App

The Absorb Learning Mobile App now mirrors the modernized web experience for the majority of Learner screens, providing a consistent look and feel across devices. A new bottom navigation bar and refreshed menu improve discoverability, and the app now supports features previously available only on desktop. Native capabilities for offline access, push notifications, download management, and the offline course player are preserved.
