You can now offer your students ever better learning experiences with the New and Improved Student Experience in Thinkific!
The New and Improved Student Experience is an opt-in available to all customers. You can learn about our previous Course Player by visiting this article.
In case you're new to Thinkific, the Course Player is the course-taking environment itself - the part of your site where your students can go to watch your videos, take your quizzes, and more.
To enable the New and Improved Student Experience, head to Settings Learning Content New & Improved Student Experience, then toggle it on for all courses.

Updated look of the default completion modal and chapter interstitials:
Pop-out modals (pop-up windows, as seen below) appear after each chapter to let students know how far they have progressed. To add, the modal window prompts them to leave a review!
