New OLAT 7.3.1 Public Release Now Available

Zurich (CH), July 2012 - OLAT (Online Learning And Training), an open-source, free-of-charge, and web-based learning management system that supports all major standards, is now publicly available in its latest version, OLAT 7.3.1.




This is a maintenance release of the 7.3.0 version, which is already in use at the University of Zurich. As it includes very important bug fixes, the makers decided to skip the 7.3.0 public version and release 7.3.1 as the current stable release. Most of the bug fixes concern ePortfolio.

Further improvements have tackled the following problems:

  • wrong assessment of correct answers of single-choice questions
  • display of one question per page and incorrect feedback
  • QTI Problem: single-choice questions without a correct answer results in no points (various manifestations)
  • QTI Problem: multiple-choice questions without a correct answer cannot be saved, so comments are lost.

OLAT offers a flexible online course system with extensive features to guarantee learning and teaching independent of time and place. It was created especially for public institutions such as universities, academies, and colleges, but it is also suitable for other businesses.
