New resume module with upcoming lesson information and Continue button to access the last lesson viewed

With Shika 1.3.30, users can easily view the upcoming lesson information and directly navigate to the last viewed lesson using the “Continue” button. Users can also track the progress of their existing lessons.

Introduced the "Reader View" config in "Link As Lesson" on lesson level

In order to facilitate better readability, we have introduced the reader view configuration for the “Link as Lesson” lesson type. Reader view strips away clutter like buttons, background images, and changes the page's text size, contrast, and layout for better readability.

Introduced Buy Now, Enroll and Continue button layout on course pin view

Users can buy new courses, enroll for new courses and continue with their existing courses from the course pin view itself

Introduced Shika config for course image size for course detail view

In order to improve the look and feel of the course details page, we have introduced the Shika configuration to set the course image size as small, medium or large.

Introduced Ideal time on the lesson playlist

With Shika 1.3.30, Users can simply view the time to spare to complete the lesson on the lesson playlist. 

Introduced the Category Title on Course pins

Instead of filtering the categories to search for the respective courses, users can easily identify the courses belonging to the specific categories.

Introduced the course price range on course pins

We have introduced the course price range on course pins depending upon the different subscription plans.

Added HTML5 files as sample/example for HTML5 lesson type 

We have added sample HTML 5 files for the HTML 5 lesson type in Shika 1.3.30
