Edvantage group announces new release of CourseBuilder Content Authoring Platform
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo, Norway, 6 June, 2011 - In its continuing work to deliver innovative SaaS
and cloud-based learning solutions, Edvantage group announced today the release
of CourseBuilder Version 6, the collaborative content authoring platform.
CourseBuilder version 6 enables organisations to rapidly and effectively develop
and manage quality e-learning content including online courses, simulations,
tests and assessments.
The latest release includes an enhanced system architecture designed to reduce
the time it takes to produce rich, engaging online learning content. The updated
user-interface and new personalised dashboard bring important content and tasks
directly to users, rather than users searching for this information themselves,
accelerating work. A range of new features support demanding content development
environments by helping improve collaboration and workflow processes, including
a new 'Extended Hosting' functionality and greater search ability. These enable
organisations to not only find and manage all types of content assets better,
but also reuse content in multiple languages and in formats developed by
different content developers.
CourseBuilder version 6 highlights include:
* a new personal dashboard that brings users quickly to the content and tasks
that are most essential for project completion
* enhanced user-interface for faster navigation and speed of development
* 'Extended Hosting' service that allows media files, original source files
and project documentation to be managed and stored at one central and secure
location, providing user access anytime, anywhere
* enhanced workflow support that makes it easier for managers, authors,
editors and reviewers to work together and deliver successful projects
regardless of their physical location
* increased content management capabilities that simplify content development,
translation, localisation and updating processes and save valuable time
* powerful search functionality making it easier to find and reuse content
assets and user-data rather than duplicating existing work
"Organisations today have a wide choice of content authoring software, but their
return on investment is limited by the software's ability to capture knowledge
from remote contributors or reuse knowledge assets that already exist," states
Sven Ove Sjølyst, VP CourseBuilder, Edvantage group. "Our goal with
CourseBuilder is to help organisations leverage their knowledge by making
content development and content management faster, easier, and more intuitive.
CourseBuilder version 6 is designed for greater efficiency and return on
investment, helping to make it more economical to create, update and manage e-
learning content."
Availability
The new release is available from 6 June, 2011. Existing clients receive the
upgrade automatically as part of their CourseBuilder Software-as-a-Service
solution. All features will be automatically available; no add-ons or
additional software is required. Those interested in more guidance on using new
features will find useful tips and information upon CourseBuilder login or by
contacting their local Edvantage group representative.
