Enabling adaptability is key to Totara's open-source ethos. Richard Wyles, CEO of Totara Learning Solutions commented, "There’s an enormous list of enhancements throughout the system, and there are contributions large and small across the community. There is always a huge amount of work behind the scenes to improve software that the user never notices. For v2.7 there was a big effort on improved usability and accessibility, and this focus is ongoing."

In particular Totara would like to thank the following partners for their code contributions and feature reviews in this release: Synergy Learning, Catalyst IT, and ASM Research.

Some of the highlights of this release include

• a customisable menu via the interface that allows the addition or removal of menu items, with the possibility to configure views according to audience or role of users
• face-to-face module enhancements, which means this classroom module now allows greater flexibility and deeper functionality for face-to-face and event-booking needs
• graphical reporting, a much-anticipated feature that now permits reports to be presented in a range of graphical displays, and powerful filtering and aggregation tools have been introduced.
