We do have a new Learner Portal called 'Renovated Learner Portal' made from WD Abap. It was delivered in EHP6/HR Renewal 1.0
SAP Learning Solution Front-End Learner (Renovated Learning Port - Human Resources - SAP Library
The additional functionality added in EHP7 is the integration of SAP JAM into LSO.
It might be 'new' but my current customer thinks it's still 'old and ugly'. 
Cheers
