We’ve been busy this month. We held a site visit to a partner school, where we presented to students and teachers and got detailed, actionable feedback on the how to improve LearnCard. And we co-hosted an opening session at SXSW EDU, where our Director of Workforce Strategy Jonny Coreson brought dozens of education leaders and decision makers into a LearnCard-powered badge issuing contest. It’s a gratifying experience to see LearnCard in the hands of so many important stakeholders. We hope to do more of these in-person events in the future!

Our latest changelog features a slate of major improvements across both the LearnCard user experience and developer tools. Let’s dig in!

LC-971 – AI Insight Sessions

Our upgraded AI Insight Sessions introduce guided, AI-powered self-assessment experiences built around curated prompts and interactive sessions. Through self-reflection, guided conversation, and integration with career and salary data, users are able to use Insight Sessions to better understand their goals and opportunities.

These upgrades include:

• Insight sessions with improved prompting and user experience

• Improved performance when interacting with integrated AI agents

• Content automatically saves to a user’s wallet after sessions end

LC-992 – AI Performance Enhancements

We’ve improved perceived performance and load times when interacting with AI tutors - instead of loading responses all in one large block, we’ve structured AI responses to present to users in more manageable chunks. Users will begin to see responses up to 3x faster!

LC-1009 – Credential Upload Validation & Toast Improvements

Resumes, transcripts, and other learning artifacts are now parsed and validated more accurately and with better success & failure notifications throughout the process. As the learning landscape evolves, we’ll continue to improve how we validate and parse learning artifacts.

Some improvements include:

• Enhanced file validation to prevent invalid uploads.

• Prevention of duplicate parsing when the same file is processed multiple times.

• Clearer success and partial-failure notifications through improved toast messaging and styling.
  

LC-1006 – Self-Assigned Skills

Users can now self-assign skills from our default framework and save them to their wallet as self-attested credentials. This feature is part of our recent addition of custom skills frameworks inside LearnCard. As we add more publicly available frameworks to LearnCard, we hope to see a ton of new self-attested skills!

As part of this PR, we changed the whole Skills UX to include:

• A refreshed Add Skills flow with semantic search with curated suggestions.

• The ability for users to suggest new skills, if no relevant skills are found

• Filters and sorting by skill name and framework.

Skill detail panels now show a skill’s full hierarchy, alongside credential issued with that skill and a user’s self-attested proficiency.

LC-1028 – New Onboarding Slides

We’ve overhauled our onboarding experience! When first creating a LearnCard, users will see role-specific onboarding slides to help clearly define what types of actions a user can take within LearnCard. Included in this flow are a number of app images and clear messaging related to features and tools. We’ve already tested this flow in classrooms, and a welcoming onboarding experience makes a huge difference!
