New features added this week

1. CYPHER Agent course creation updates
   
1. A new Verify learning atoms step follows Create learning atoms in the course creation process. Learning atoms capture the key concepts, events, and ideas that shape a course. CYPHER Agent now checks them for accuracy before continuing to the next step. This check runs automatically during course creation. When using Step by step generation, course creators can review and approve updates to the learning atoms.

Behind the scenes

1. Upgraded image generation model: Course images now use an upgraded AI model that generates sharper, higher-quality images more quickly. The improvement is especially noticeable when generating image styles such as Cinematic.
   
2. Messages and notifications added to user profiles: Users can now access messages and notifications from their profile menu, providing another way to reach these features in support of WCAG 2.2 accessibility requirements.
   

1. Calendar event email notifications: Fixed an issue that prevented users newly added to a course or group from receiving email notifications for existing calendar events.
   
2. Web conferencing events in course and path templates: Course creators can now add placeholder events for web conferences to templates. These placeholders do not generate web conferences. In child courses, creators can replace them with scheduled events.
