New Updates on the Univad Virtual Campus: Retake quiz, track progress, retake lectures, and more

The learning experience on the Univad Virtual Campus just got a significant upgrade. Recent updates have been carefully designed to make studying more structured, engaging, and meaningful for students who are serious about mastering their fields. Beyond just interface improvements, these new features strengthen focus, encourage discipline, and provide better insights into each learner’s journey.

Here’s a detailed look at what’s new, and why it matters.

1. Retake Quizzes Anytime

Students can now retake quizzes even after submitting it, before proceeding to the next section, allowing them to reinforce key concepts and test understanding without limitation.

This feature supports active recall, one of the most effective methods in cognitive learning science. By revisiting quizzes, learners strengthen memory retention, identify weak areas, and gradually build confidence in their knowledge.

Use Case Example:

A student studying Digital Marketing Analytics can now revisit their quiz on campaign tracking after reviewing a new case study, measuring how much better they understand attribution models compared to their first attempt.

2. Retake Lectures for Deeper Reinforcement

Students can now rewatch any lecture multiple times to ensure full comprehension.

Learning isn’t always linear, sometimes, a second or third view brings fresh clarity or helps connect earlier lessons with new insights.

According to a study by the Online Learning Consortium, students who review lectures multiple times show up to 35% higher concept retention compared to those who move on after a single viewing.

Use Case Example:

A learner in Data Science Foundations might replay the module on data cleaning before starting the next unit on visualization, helping them build a stronger foundation and preventing knowledge gaps.

3. Fast-Forward Blocking

Lectures can no longer be fast-forwarded. The goal is to encourage learners to fully engage with each session rather than skimming through.

This small but powerful change fosters discipline and focus, replicating the attentiveness expected in a real-world classroom.

By maintaining full attention during lectures, students are more likely to grasp nuances in instruction, real-life examples, and contextual explanations that are often missed when skipped.

4. No Skipping of Sections

Every section now needs to be completed before moving to the next. This structure promotes progressive mastery, the idea that complex topics should only follow once foundational concepts are properly understood.

Why This Matters:

Sequential learning prevents the “fragmented understanding” common in online courses where learners jump between topics. Instead, it nurtures a clear, connected understanding that builds real skill competency.

5. Smarter Progress Tracking

Progress tracking has been upgraded to offer clearer visibility into how students are performing across modules.

The dashboard now provides more detailed analytics on lecture completion, quiz scores, and time spent learning. These insights help students self-assess and plan better study routines.

Use Case Example:

A student pursuing a Diploma in Project Management can now see how much time they’ve dedicated to planning modules versus execution modules, helping them balance their focus before assessments.

6. Subtle Yet Powerful Interface Tweaks

Beyond the headline updates, several quiet improvements have been made throughout the Virtual Classroom. Navigation feels smoother, transitions are faster, and performance has been optimized for both mobile and desktop users.

The updates are more than just usability improvements. They reflect a deeper philosophy, that learning is not about rushing through content, but about mastering it.

By removing shortcuts like skipping or fast-forwarding, and by introducing flexibility in review and assessment, these features combine the best of traditional classroom discipline with the convenience of digital learning.

Early internal data already shows positive impact:

• Course completion rates have increased by over 18% among students using the new structure.

• Quiz retake engagement has tripled within the first two weeks of rollout.

• Average lecture view time has grown by 22%, signaling stronger focus.
