Feature Requests

Presently if an employer has not accepted their portal invite there is a little envelope you can click to resend an invite to them. With learners, if something goes wrong or they do not receive their invite, we have to delete their invite and enter it again. Is there a way to add a similar feature and have a clickable envelope icon to resend an invite immediately?

As an educator, If I have a list of 15 pending match requests on my experience, I'd like to be able to denote some of them as favourites. This helps me categorize the ones I really like first and deal with them before actioning any other match requests. This may also be helpful if I have an assistant helping me parse through match requests. They can mark them as favourites and then I can check out those ones first. I wouldn't want the employer to know I've favorited any match requests.

Request from DM @ MacEwan U The institution’s portal currently allows a broad view of all experiences, but it would be beneficial if experiences could be filtered by specific educators. Having an “Educator” filter on the “Experiences” tab in the Portal content page would allow users to more easily identify which educator is responsible for each experience. Also helps DM search by Educators

Request coming from DM @MacEwan U Asked this question in the help channel. For context, MacEwan uses the new import feature to add employers to experiences directly. So sometime the employers may already have an account, some may not already. Some may not sign up to Riipen. Employers often have multiple supervisors overseeing different projects within an experience, which has created challenges in linking specific supervisors to their respective projects. Could a feature be added to assign individual supervisors to specific projects, especially when partners are imported or created in bulk? Additionally, it would be valuable to have an option to add new supervisors directly into the partner’s organization profile or attach them directly to an experience. This would simplify the setup process and ensure clear supervisor responsibilities across multiple projects.

Request coming from DM @MacEwan University It will be great for Employers to have need a streamlined way to introduce their projects in a format that engages students. It would be highly beneficial if Employers could have an embedded option to record video introductions directly on their project pages, rather than uploading external videos. This integrated recording feature would allow Employers to briefly describe their projects, helping students better understand project goals and partner expectations.

In the Milestones feature of experiences, it is currently limited to only allowing a file upload as content. This request is to consider a URL so participants can be directed to web based content like videos, webpages, or external to Riipen content.

During the team creation process I'd like to have a way to see all my learners in a list and know whether or not they've been assigned to a team yet. For example, a drag and drop interface where I can assign learners to teams visually.

Currently there is almost no way in the platform to see if a user has a pending date change request. We should add tasks and activities to be able to see historical changes to start/end dates as well as action pending date change requests from the user's dashboard

To go alongside maximum start date. Right now - when timelines are set by the employer, they can choose any start date after the date they're making a match request. Setting a minimum or earliest start date - would reduce a lot of back and forth when there's still a set period of time before learners are joining the experience. Educators should be able to set a 'earliest start date' for employer projects.

In order to improve our database, we would like to be able to have the ability to activate and deactivate educator accounts. Deactivation allows to retain institutional memory of who has completed what even if they have moved on from their role, whereas activated roles allows to filter the current number of educators engaged in our portal.
