    • If a learner downloads the latest version of the app and their device is already registered, they will bypass the demo screen and go straight to their learning content, as per normal. More help article information on Demo Mode is forthcoming.

  • Now, in addition to viewing their performance online, Learners have the ability to view in-app feedback based on their decision-making in the experience.
