TAO Testing
TAO opens the 56.15 line with a database index while patching a bad migration on three branches.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of eduMe and itslearning — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
eduMe keeps publishing healthcare training guides while pitching frontline enablement.
eduMe's recent entries are buyer's guides and explainers: healthcare training software by training type, a frontline enablement versus training essay, UK logistics software, the logistics skills gap and Dayforce LMS alternatives. None describes a change to eduMe's own product.
Monthly digests of accessibility work and legacy retirement, with SCORM now a paid line item
itslearning ships one dated digest a month and the composition barely varies: a small number of interface changes, an accessibility pass, and a fix table. September continues exactly that - teachers can permanently delete a content block straight from its More options menu instead of archiving then clearing the Archive, and the global and course menus now stay visible inside a single plan page to satisfy accessibility requirements. Across eleven months no digest introduces a new capability category; the work is making the existing platform accessible and less iframe-bound. The one structural move remains subtraction.

The content targets frontline-heavy verticals, healthcare and logistics in particular, and buyers leaving competitors such as EdApp and Dayforce's LMS. The enablement essay hints at a broader category pitch beyond course delivery, but there is no release yet to back it.
Expect more vertical guides and enablement messaging. The entries do not show what product changes, if any, will follow.

The retirement schedule is still the real roadmap - Test 2.0 losing editing, the Icodeon player swapped for Rustici on active sites in August, the project Links page deleted as cleanup. September's menu-persistence change comes from the same accessibility-compliance driver that has filled most of these digests all year, and net-new features continue to trace back to the German Development Project rather than a general product thesis. The monthly digest keeps shrinking toward a fix table plus one or two compliance-driven interface changes.
The next digest should carry more frameless conversions and accessibility passes, with any genuinely new feature likely arriving through the GDP partnership. The entries still do not say what schools that decline the paid SCORM add-on at renewal are expected to use instead.
