UNA 12 "Antares" Released

Antares is a giant star, and UNA 12 is a massive update. It may well be the last feature release with so many changes, as we are looking to transition to shorter cycles with more focus on improving existing functionality. 

What's new in UNA 12 "Antares" 

*compared to UNA 11 Altair

Courses

A learning-oriented context-type module that can be used to build a knowledge-based community. Members create free or paid courses with start/end time, mixed content and invitation lists. Courses can operate like groups and include multiple content type items and feeds.

Classes

A content-type module that compliments Courses, allowing Course admins to create and manage educational content. Courses are grouped into modules, can have mixed-media content, and offer progression links between classes in a module. 

Tasks
