Edvantage group announces new version of its SaaS and cloud-based Learning Management System
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo, 1 February, 2011 - Edvantage group, a leading European e-learning company,
announces the latest version of its SaaS and cloud-based Learning Gateway,
learning management system (LMS) version 5.6. This release focuses on helping
large and small organisations gain more effect from their blended learning
programmes with less administrative effort. A new resource repository will
enable learning assets to be centralised, reused and shared more efficiently,
while a host of new functions will help organisations deploy, track and share
their learning assets with greater efficiency. LMS version 5.6 promises to
deliver the best learning experience with less administrative effort.
Learning Gateway's resource repository is used to store, share, reuse and
distribute a collection of content resources. Using this new feature,
organisations can capture content in any format, from any source, and reuse the
content for multiple audiences and learning methods without increasing the
amount of content production. Learning and development teams that are struggling
to keep growing amounts of learning content structured, updated and delivered to
the people that need it the most will gain significant insight and control using
Learning Gateway's resource repository.
The release also includes new reporting capabilities, reporting that will help
training managers and business leaders both track learner progress and encourage
course completion. A wider range of filtering options enables reporting at all
levels of the organisation and on all types of learning methods, including
classroom sessions, tests, evaluations and online modules. This release also
includes increased functionality for visual presentation of graphs and charts,
making it easier to analyse data, target areas for follow-up, and ultimately
achieve better results.
Examples of other key enhancements include:
* configurable views for course listings and learning paths
* extended drill-down functionality allowing a full overview and improved
follow-up of learner progress
* a more visual overview of classroom enrollments
* an enhanced mail template system with the ability to self-define elements
and content
* an improved password management system
Tore Eggen, Product Manager, Edvantage group states, "Edvantage group has been
at the forefront of developing and delivering SaaS learning technologies for 10
years. This release is part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the industry's
most adaptable, user-friendly learning platform. It will match the unique needs
of almost any type or size of organisation. In this release, we have increased
configuration options and extended capabilities in order to save administrators
valuable time and help managers provide their people and teams with better
knowledge. This version improves oversight of learning resources to reduce
duplication of effort and increase organisational consistency. The result is
ultimately better and more focused learning and performance."
Learning Gateway version 5.6 is available from 1 February, 2011. Clients
received immediate access to the new features and capabilities as part of
Edvantage group's SaaS (Software-as-a Service) model.
