A note from Edd Clementson, Product lead at Titus
“This initial release has a focus on overall enhancements to the Totara interface. The site home introduces a variety of new features and changes including a feature banner, marketing tiles and enhancements to the Features links block. Many improvements have been made to secondary/tertiary navigations & the Totara catalogue, all of which improve the user experience and help learners get to where they’re going, faster.
The Olympian theme offers a wide array do new customisation options supported by multi tenancy. Branding on a per tenant basis can include personalised imagery, fonts, colours and more.
We value the importance of an aesthetically pleasing learning platform and would love your feedback on this first Olympian release.”
