The feature adds a new Weekly Learning Goal widget to the course home page.
To use it, learners select a weekly learning goal and are automatically subscribed to goal reminder emails. The weekly reminders continue until the learner completes their course and/or their audit access ends. Learners can modify/cancel their goal and reminder settings at any time from the widget or via links in the email.
For more details on this feature or screenshots see this blog post.
