Colltrain 2.6 – London Edition
New Release

London – May 14th, 2022

Colltrain 2.6 (London edition) is here to feast your eyes with! 🙂

The new Colltrain release is all about new visual and media features, to help facilitators bring some extra content to their activities through images – you know what they say – a good picture says a thousand words!

Now you can bring your favourite images directly from Unsplash (still in beta) or embed videos from the most used dedicated apps (YouTube, Vimeo).

Also, with the new feature Web Frame, you can spice your activities up with everything you like and need from the web…so adieu to juggling with multiple tabs opened in the browser during an activity! Let the fun begin!

And, saving the best for last, the first dedicated project management activity pack is here!

In short, you can now enjoy:

Visual fine-tuning features

• for flip chart objects:
  • A new way of resizing icons and magnets, and extended maximum size for these objects
  • A simplified panel of text boxes for greater accessibility
  • New display font added
• for flip chart – handy way of resizing the board while running the activity
• outlining pages with protected content by dropping a soft reddish shadow

Media objects

• Import images from Unsplash
• Embedding movies from YouTube, Vimeo and scalable animations from Lottie Files
• Embedding any type of content from the web with Web Frame

Project Management Starter Pack (1)

• 9 activities tailored to accommodate beginner and intermediate levels
• Strong focus on experiential, collaborative learning experience

Visual fine-tuning for flip chart objects

Starting Colltrain London 2.6, we could say the sky’s the limit when it comes to resizing icons and magnets. Just imagine the possibilities and the cool impact of having really small or huge icons and magnets set up simply by pulling from any corner you wish.

Then add stylish titles or quotes by experimenting with the new display font (type 5), like a pro!

And if the board becomes too small for your content, you can adjust its size from the page management menu or, from now on, simply by pulling from the sides of the board.

Unsplash Integration

Now you can bring your favourite photos directly from Unsplash. 

Imagine this: a few clicks and your picture talk activity is “magically” done!

Instil dynamics to your activities with scalable animations from Lottie Files

Video clips and movies

Now you can embed video clips and movies from YouTube and Vimeo to have all the content you need for an activity in one place.

Web frame (<iframe>)

With the new feature, Web Frame is now easier than ever to display within your activity all types of content you found on the web, without even having to download it or take print screens…or provide just a link, etc. Quick and clean is always better than all sorts of workarounds and tricks 😉 Here’s what it looks like:

A useful scenario is to embed a pdf file into a Colltrain page to provide instructions for delegates or a study case file, et cetera.

Project Management Starter Pack (1)

Add this pack of activities to your Launchpad in Colltrain and you’re all set for your next project management remote training session! You can use this comprehensive collection of activities to help the delegates develop essential abilities to project management: communication, organization, risk management, and team collaboration.
