Lumesse announces new version of SaaS-based e-learning authoring platform, CourseBuilder v6.1
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
London/Oslo - 14 December 2011 - Lumesse, a global leader in integrated talent
management solutions, is pleased to announce the latest version of its SaaS
(Software-as-a-Service) e-learning authoring platform, CourseBuilder 6.1. This
version features a new software architecture that brings customers greater
speed, availability and an enhanced user experience through CourseBuilder's
cloud-based technology. This is the first product release of the award-winning
CourseBuilder authoring platform following the acquisition of Edvantage Group by
Lumesse. The new version is available immediately to all customers.
CourseBuilder version 6.1 includes major enhancements to the application
architecture and database handling capabilities. Testing has shown that people
using certain key functions can expect substantially faster response times,
making it easier and faster to find, create, share and update e-learning content
including tests, assessments, simulations, and courses. Lumesse CEO, Matthew
Parker, added: "We are delighted to deliver such a strong update as the first
new release from our Learning division under Lumesse ownership. CourseBuilder is
unique in combining a rich and powerful content creation platform with the
benefits of a SaaS delivery model, making it fast and simple for customers to
begin creating and delivering high quality content from a secure, 100% web-based
system." To better serve more than 1,100 active users creating over 700 new
courses/modules and adding more than 14,000 pages and 40,000+ media elements per
month, CourseBuilder v6.1 is now provided as a multi-server, load-balanced
solution with enhanced automatic failover capabilities. This minimises any
downtime during server upgrades, optimises resource allocation and increases
performance, scalability and reliability. CourseBuilder v6.1 also adds new
'archive' functionality will enable users to create a full backup version of
courses that includes not only the content, but also the complete development
record of the course including all media elements, comments, tasks, and
revisions. Archives may be stored either on the server or locally. This ability
to create and store complete archived versions provides valuable back-up of
project states and greater security for valuable content. Sven Ove Sjølyst, VP
for CourseBuilder at Lumesse, added, "The underlying architecture and the
performance and scalability it delivers are important factors that organisations
should evaluate when purchasing software systems - both are strong points of
CourseBuilder. Our Software Oriented Architecture approach is the foundation
that delivers high levels of security, scalability, and usability. This new
release delivers unparalleled performance and will enable us to quickly add
advanced functionality and new features that will keep CourseBuilder leading in
the market for authoring tool technology." The new release is available
immediately to all customers. Existing users receive the upgrade automatically
as part of CourseBuilder's Software-as-a-Service regular release schedule. All
features are included: no add-ons, additional software or installation are
required. About CourseBuilder CourseBuilder is a collaborative, cloud-based
authoring platform that substantially improves the way organisations can
capture, transfer and reuse knowledge assets. Provided as Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS), it is used to rapidly and effectively develop and manage quality e-
learning content including online courses, simulations, tests and assessments.
CourseBuilder won the coveted 2010 Brandon Hall Bronze award for excellence in
