learn eXact Enterprise unveiled at Learning Technologies
The leading learning and mobile content management solution provider,
Giunti Labs, will be offering previews - at this year's Learning
Technologies exhibition - of learn eXact Enterprise, the latest version
of its learning content management system (LCMS). This year, Learning
Technologies - which is being held at London's Olympia on 28th and 29th
January 2009 - focuses on 'Next generation learning at work', and will
provide examples of how technology-supported learning is crucial to
business performance and success.
The LCMS, which is highly scalable - both on 'vertical' and
'horizontal' senses - is entirely SOA-based allowing services to be
activated, de-activated or swapped with client-preferred services
without impacting on overall platform performance. This allows
organisations to both extend the system's functions, as required, and
protect their investment by having a 'future-proof' LCMS.
learn eXact Enterprise has been created to support all aspects of
management of the process and the contents for distant learning in an
organisation. In particular, it has been designed to be
'non-disruptive' to any existing corporate systems, and to maximize
existing corporate knowledge banks.
Andrea Gentili, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Giunti Labs,
explained:
"Within learn eXact Enterprise, one server manages the client's
different communities, dividing them into different domains, and allows
users access on an enterprise level or a project-by-project basis.
"Changes in content are tracked at browser level, to save and ensure
consistency; while learner data can be sent to managers or directly fed
into ERP systems.
"Reports related to course activity, enrolment and course
access/monitoring are fully configurable and can be delivered via
dedicated portal within the Enterprise application or over the client's
corporate portal."
"Those using learn eXact Enterprise should experience more flexible
workflow, while also gaining benefits from product features which make
editing content, user roles and so on easier," commented Fabrizio
Cardinali, Giunti Labs' CEO. "Users can also export data in XML format
via web services.
"At the core of the LCMS is the 'domains, users, rules, permissions'
module - known as DURP - which 'structures' the LCMS, allowing it to
respond to complex user scenarios and also allowing users to structure
and personalise the system," he continued. "This allows the LCMS to
continue to be relevant as, over time, individuals take on new roles
within the organisation as their competence and skill sets develop."
As with any Giunti Labs' system, learn eXact Enterprise's authoring
application works well with learning standards, such as SCORM 1.2,
SCORM 2004, AICC and IMS. To simplify the authoring procedure, learn
eXact Enterprise includes a set of pre-loaded learning object models (LOMs).
These LOMs enable instructional designers and authors to program
complex templates in their preferred scripting language - such as XSL,
Flash™, Java™, or C#.
Visitors to Giunti Labs' stand at this year's Learning Technologies
exhibition can 'test drive' this state-of-the-art LCMS, under guidance
from its developers.
Visitors to the Learning Technologies event can also find out more
about learn eXact Enterprise by attending a free seminar - given in
Theatre 3, from 11.45am to 12.15pm on Thursday 29th January - in which
Andrea Lorenzon, Giunti Labs' chief solution architect, will discuss
'learn eXact Enterprise: Empowering learning and content management
projects in highly dynamic organisations'.
