AcademyBase Update 0.9.2

Published by AcademyBase

Version 0.9.2 focuses on making each academy easier to operate as it grows. It brings clearer management workspaces, safer booking and payment journeys, a stronger classroom experience, and more dependable academy communication and public-site behavior.

A Clearer Academy Management Experience

  • Package, subject, and course management now share a clearer and more consistent administration experience.
  • Lessons now belong directly to courses. The retired lesson-subtopic and catalogue-migration controls have been removed from active management screens.
  • Teacher and learner directories, orders, manual bookings, booking history, and teacher earnings remain responsive as records grow, with server-backed search, pagination, and practical date filters.
  • Platform Settings has been reorganized into focused Academy Settings, Public Website, Communications, Finance, Classroom Preferences, and subject-demand workspaces.
  • Public website readiness and Finance Manager navigation are easier to use on both desktop and mobile, with direct routes to the settings that need attention.
  • Existing course and subject images now remain visible when an optimized image variant is missing or out of date.
  • Lesson and homework material actions are more accessible to keyboard and screen-reader users and open external files more safely.

Booking, Trials, And Teacher Availability

  • Academy staff can create fully integrated free-trial bookings without using course credits. The flow checks learner eligibility, teacher consent, subject fit, calendar clashes, meeting creation, and reminders.
  • Teacher discovery now distinguishes between offering a subject and actually having future booking times available, helping learners avoid dead ends.
  • The learner booking journey now starts from the learner's ordered course queue, prioritizes bookmarked and previously booked teachers, simplifies time selection, and rechecks the booking before confirmation.
  • Expired availability is removed from calendars and profiles, while completed and past-cancelled lessons can no longer reopen already-used time.
  • Percentage-based teacher pay is now supported for trial lessons, with an academy default, optional subject exceptions, payout previews, updated-term acceptance, and a permanent booking-time pay record.
  • Academy booking views now show the correct administrator actions and open selected booking details reliably.

A Safer Learner Checkout

  • Checkout has a clearer order review, payment guidance, completion journey, and a more visible Confirm Order action.
  • Payment options load more reliably during account startup and empty-cart transitions.
  • Obsolete payment-instruction behavior has been removed so checkout stays aligned with the supported course-credit purchasing model.
  • Course and subject artwork has been restored throughout learner discovery and course details.

Classroom And Lesson Delivery

  • New classroom PDFs open in the synchronized full-document viewer, while older page-split materials remain supported.
  • Teachers can prepare in the classroom early, but camera and microphone controls remain safely unavailable until the scheduled lesson time.
  • Classroom recording now preserves accurate ownership and duration, marks empty captures as failed, and releases camera and microphone access after a failed start.
  • Lesson controls can be collapsed from a clear attached tab. They remain open by default for teachers and stay out of learners' way until needed.
  • Chat translation remains available in fullscreen and now gives clear, non-technical guidance for missing setup, provider limits, or temporary outages.
  • Temporary account-data problems now provide useful retry, sign-out, and dashboard recovery actions instead of misleading missing-profile or endless loading states.

Public Presence And Communication

  • Academy public course, package, FAQ, and other marketing content now refreshes automatically within the scheduled publication window.
  • Older public course, pricing, and FAQ links route safely to the academy's configured marketing site, with a neutral fallback while setup is incomplete.
  • Transactional email delivery and password-email formatting have been strengthened, and obsolete catalogue email paths have been retired.
  • CAPTCHA protection is applied consistently across hosted academy experiences and cannot be weakened through academy-level configuration.

Version 0.9.2 provides a more dependable foundation for running an academy, supporting teachers, guiding learners, publishing academy content, and delivering lessons.
