What's new in the Udutu platform

Our LMS, Authoring Tool, and AskU AI Mentor are improved every month. Client feedback drives most of what you see here, so this page is the running record of what changed and when.

August and September updates have landed

After a few months of mostly minor updates, the August release brings the biggest changes — new features and interface updates throughout many parts of the LMS. Instant Access now supports Learning Paths, and the Email Rules feature for automated compliance reminders is better than ever.
