Happy Friday! The start of 2026 has brought some solid improvements to the LMS—both under the hood and right in front of you as an instructor. One recent update stood out as particularly helpful, and we think it’s worth a closer look.
Improved Visibility in CML Progress Reports
CML Progress Reports have been updated to give instructors a more complete picture of their class.
Progress Reports will now include students whose course access is set to begin on a future date. Previously, these students were not visible until their access became active, which could make rosters and progress checks feel incomplete or confusing.
What’s changed:
-
-
Students in a session/course with future-dated access now appear in CML Progress Reports
-
These students will show no progress yet, which is expected until their access begins
-
Once their access becomes active, progress will track normally
-
What this means for you as an instructor:
-
-
A more accurate view of your full class roster
-
Fewer questions about “missing” students in reports
-
Better planning and communication before a class or term begins
-
This update improves transparency and helps instructors understand who is enrolled, who is active, and who is scheduled to start—without guessing or waiting for access dates to arrive.
