We have many exciting features and improvements for you. Among other things, you can now create courses from videos and websites. Users can now sign in with only their phone number. And we released our Content Hub. 👀

📞 Elephant calling: Log in with your phone number

Your blue collar workforce or your subcontractors don't have an email address yet? No problem: It is now super easy to sign into the Elephant app with only a phone number – and no need to remember a password. 

Remember to add the phone number first in the Hub. If you already use our HR integration, you can lean back: Phone numbers will be imported automatically when users are created or updated in your HR system.

📄📄📄 More supported filetypes: Generate courses from videos and websites!

Last time we reported that the Coursebuilder can generate from multiple documents at once. Now we added support for videos and websites

The AI will also choose suitable screenshots and clips from the videos and include them in the course.
