New features added this week

1. CYPHER Agent for learners now includes Session setup
   
1. Learning with CYPHER Agent is now more personalized and intentional than ever. Before generating content, CYPHER Agent launches a new Session setup experience designed to align each learning session with the learner’s unique needs and goals. During Session setup, learners are prompted to:
   
1. Describe their current experience with the topic.
   
2. Identify specific challenges or areas of difficulty.
   
3. Define additional learning goals.
   
2. Based on these inputs, CYPHER Agent generates a preview of a concept map tailored to the learner. Learners can review and refine the concept map as needed. Once satisfied, they simply click Looks good! to begin learning.
   
3. Prefer to dive right in? Learners can click Skip setup to jump straight into a learning session at any time.

1. HTML widgets now available for the dashboard center panel
   
1. New custom HTML widgets can now be added to the center panel of the home dashboard, course dashboards, and group dashboards. These widgets provide greater flexibility in configuring dashboards–making it easy to share announcements, embed images, links or videos, and reinforce company branding with custom visuals. 
   
2. When editing the dashboard, users can drag and drop one or both of the new widgets to the center panel:
   
1. Wide HTML widget: Spans the full width of the center panel, similar to the Banner widget.
   
2. Small HTML widget: Spans one quarter of the width of the center panel, similar to widgets such as Reports.
   
3. Using the built-in HTML editor, administrators and course or group owners can fully customize the widget’s content. The widget automatically adjusts its height based on the content added, ensuring a clean and responsive layout.
   
4. To learn more, visit the Custom HTML widgets section of the Widgets knowledge base article.
