Trainer1 becomes Trivantis regional partner
Trainer1, the vendor neutral e-learning specialist, has been promoted
in its relationship with publishing technologies and services producer,
Trivantis, from 'reseller' to 'regional partner'.
Based in Columbus, Ohio, in the USA, the Trivantis Corporation produces
authoring and publishing tools, along with a learning management system
that are designed to help overcome the technical barriers traditionally
associated with electronic publishing, Trivantis' solutions provide
educators, the business sector and government agencies with the
capabilities to create and publish high-quality content with
multi-platform publishing capabilities.
"Naturally, we're delighted to have been upgraded in our business
relationship with Trivantis," commented Trainer1's Neil Lasher, who is
also the President of the ASTD Global Network UK and a committee member
of the eLearning Network (eLN), the UK's foremost professional
association for users and developers of e-learning. "Trivantis is
highly respected in the e-learning world, having led the way in
providing the first AICC certified product in the authoring tool
category and continuing to be a front-runner in helping to set such
international standards as SCORM and LRN.
"Trivantis' products - Lectora authoring and publishing tools and its
CourseMill learning management system - are among the most popular
e-learning related tools and systems that we supply to the UK market,"
he said.
The Lectora authoring tool, which provides single-click publishing to
web-ready dynamic HTML, CD, single file executable, SCORM, AICC and LRN
learning standards, contains, among other things:
-
An Actions Palette which enables users to create unlimited interactive
learning objects using show and hide functionality, mouse-overs, object
visibility toggling, executables and so on to create didactic and/or
branched learning scenarios.
-
Flash Conversion to automatically compress and convert video and audio
to Flash format. Lectora 2008 provides better compression for faster
loading of content, smaller file sizes to free up bandwidth space,
complete browser compatibility and the option to view videos in full
screen.
-
Help Agents - interactive video help guides which provide animated
tutorials on the key features in Lectora.
-
A Media Library - one central location for media files, which can now
include keywords and metadata to simplify searches and is accessible by
multiple users.
-
A Certificate Tool to create customisable template-based certificates.
-
An Easy Access Template Gallery, offering access more than 250
templates within Lectora.
-
Content Protection which makes it nearly impossible for students to
copy and paste from course pages.
Trivantis' CourseMill 5.0 is still a Java application on the server's
side but the client side of the equation uses the - simpler - AJAX
application.
"This means that there are better cataloguing and 'search for courses'
facilities," commented Lasher. "Moreover, courses now run in
'sessions'; it includes a 'classroom booking system', copes with
multiple instructors on one course and the product handles SCORM, AICC
and non-compliant courses.
"It also allows courses to run in 'SCORM disconnected' mode," Lasher
added. "This enables users to sign up for a course, download it, work
on the course off-line and, when they next connect to the internet,
their scores are automatically uploaded to the learning management
system.
"In addition, CourseMill 5.0 allows you to set up separate learning
management systems - for separate departments, divisions or even
companies within a group. This enables you to keep data for employees
in these sectors separate but also allows you to combine data as
required," explained Lasher.
"And, impressively, CourseMill can be installed and operating within a
single business day on a standard Microsoft-based server environment,"
he said. "No wonder that CourseMill - and Lectora - are proving popular
with e-learning developers and managers in the UK."
