Giunti Labs shows Europe's leading edge at Learning Technologies
An award winning application is among the offerings at the Learning
Technologies show from Giunti Labs, Europe's top LCMS producer.
An award-winning learning content management system (LCMS) that is
being used successfully in in the public sector, along with such
industries as telecoms, healthcare, banking and finance, are among the
experiences awaiting visitors to the Giunti Labs' stand (stand number
34) at this year's Learning Technologies exhibition, at London's
Olympia, on 31st January and 1st February 2007.
Giunti Labs' philosophy and products will also be in evidence in a
formal presentation being made in the presentation area within the
exhibition.
Angus Turpin, manager for Giunti Labs in the UK and Ireland, will be
discussing how new generation learning content management solutions (LCMS),
based on XML templates, reusable learning objects and interoperability,
could cut content production costs while improving the reusability and
personalisation of learning content. This should help users to migrate
from classroom-led to web based training and beyond, into the
innovative features of field-based learner support offered by new
mobile learning solutions.
During his presentation, Turpin will outline the learn eXact LCMS
Suite, Europe's leading LCMS infrastructure, which is currently
deployed in more than 100 world leading pharmaceutical, telecoms and
banking industry training departments.
This infrastructure is now also available with mobile learning and
wearable training plug-ins, allowing the distribution of mobile content
on Blackberry mailers, Windows Mobile Computers, Symbian Smartphones
and Xybernaut Wearable Computers with Wi-Fi and RFID tags based
location detection. According to Turpin, this allows content to reach
learners wherever they need support and on whatever device they want to
use.
"Giunti Labs are well placed to meet the increasing demand for mobile
learning," commented Turpin. "For the last two years, our technicians
have been developing mobile delivery technologies which can take any
SCORM-compliant learning content and automatically adapt it for mobile
delivery.
"Moreover, these learning materials are fully trackable.
"Consequently training and development professionals are no longer
dependent on a delivery channel for their learning materials," he
added. "With the help of Giunti Labs, they can deliver learning
materials in any format from the printed word to e-learning programs
for mobile devices including PDAs, Blackberrys and even wearable
headset devices.
"In many respects Giunti Labs are different from their competitors,"
Turpin explained.
"For one thing, they are a European company in a market that is heavily
populated by American companies. In addition, they do not just adhere
to standards but write and develop them - and they are the only
learning management system producer in the world that has a 510 year
pedigree."
