Product updates at Riipen

June 2026

‍

Worklog reminders

A worklog reminder will soon be added to team submission emails. If worklogs are enabled on the experience, learners will now see a reminder in the Milestone and Submission created emails to log their work.

‍

The reminder will include a direct link to their Team page > Worklog tab for easy access. 

‍

Decline reasons and messages now appear in chat

When a user declines a match request, their message from the decline modal will now appear directly in the match request chat instead of just the decline email.

‍

UI updates
The application creator section on team applications has been updated for clarity and consistency with other parts of the platform.

‍

The verification page sidebar has been updated for design consistency with other sidebars.

‍

New scoring feature

Educators can now enable scoring on experiences, allowing them to assign numeric grades to learners and teams as they complete project deliverables. Once scoring is enabled, learners will receive a single score based on one or more scored items, with configurable weights to customize how each component is valued. This functionality includes binary scoring for milestone completion and final submission completion, where the score is either 0 or 100% based solely on completion.

‍

Feedback is also integrated into the scoring system, with a variable score that reflects the average feedback provided by the employer. Looking ahead, we’re exploring additional scoring options, including subjective grading by educators. This functionality is most effective when paired with LTI integration, enabling educators to automatically pass the learner’s overall score back to the LMS for seamless tracking and reporting. 

‍

For further details, educators and learners can refer to the relevant help articles on scoring.

‍

‍Navigation update

“My profile” is now a dedicated menu item in the user menu, rather than being part of the clickable user nametag. This improves discoverability across all user types.

‍

On portal subdomains, the top-left logo now links to the user dashboard instead of the portal profile, creating a more intuitive navigation experience.

‍

Portal and company profile links have been removed from the portal and company workspace switchers and added to the main navigation menu:

• Under “Portal content” for Educators 
• Under “Company content” for Employers 

‍

Setting application expiry limits

Educators can now define a maximum number of pending/expired team applications per Match in the Experience settings > Participants > Team creation section.

‍

Educators and employers can override experience-level limits by setting a custom max number of pending/expired applications in the Match> Applications settings.

‍

If an employer exceeds a match's pending/expired application limit, applications will now automatically close for that Match.

‍

UI improvements & updates

‍The application creator section on team applications has been updated for clarity and consistency with other parts of the platform.

‍

The verification page sidebar has been updated for design consistency with other sidebars.

‍

All tables now include a 'Results per page' label in the pagination footer, making it clearer how many results are shown per page and how many filtered results are currently being displayed.

‍

As an employer, you’ll now see a “Project” column in the Teams table, making it easier to identify which project each team is associated with.

‍

The Applications column in the matches table (Experiences > Matches) is now sortable. Click the column header to sort by the number of applications descending (by default).

‍

We’ve updated all Resources tables to match the latest styles:

• Removed the "Type" column
• Added resource-type icons next to resource names. This makes it easier to scan and identify resource types at a glance.
