Say Hello to the New Student Dashboard!

We’re excited to announce another major update that makes the learning experience on Forento smoother, smarter, and more engaging: Introducing the Student Dashboard 🎉 Whether your students are diving into multiple courses, joining live sessions, or participating in your community—everything is now in one easy-to-navigate place. What’s Inside the Dashboard? 🧭 We designed the new dashboard to give students a clear overview of everything they’re involved in, right at their fingertips: Started Courses See all active and in-progress courses in one place. Jump back in with a single click. Upcoming Events Calendar Students can now keep track of live sessions, webinars, and any scheduled events—so they never miss a thing. Community Points Engagement matters! Learners can track their points and participation across your community, helping them stay motivated and active. Built to Grow 🚀 And this is just the beginning. We’re continually adding new items and capabilities to the dashboard to support more features, more learning styles, and more ways to connect and engage. From personalized course recommendations to progress tracking and badges—there’s a lot more on the way 👀 Why It Matters We believe learning should feel organized, rewarding, and connected. The student dashboard is a big step toward that vision, giving your students a clear path and a better learning journey from day one. Stay tuned for more updates—and as always, thank you for being part of the Forento community 💙 Let us know what you'd like to see next in the dashboard! – The Forento Team
