Oslo, May 19, 2008 - Edvantage group, a pioneer in e-learning solutions, announces the release of CourseBuilder 5.2, its content
development tool, featuring new CourseBuilder Media Components. CourseBuilder Media Components are reusable, editable Flash
components that are integrated into the CourseBuilder architecture, providing non-programmers with high-level interactions
that are ready for immediate use in e-learning courses. CourseBuilder Media Components can also be customised, edited and
re-used, offering a high degree of flexibility while keeping development time to a minimum.
“CourseBuilder Media Components raise the bar for creating high-quality learning content. The technology will help people to quickly and effectively develop online courses, tests, and assessments that capture user’s attention and involve learners in the learning process,” says Sven Ove Sjølyst, VP CourseBuilder.
“People’s expectations for interactivity on the Internet, and in video and gaming are continuing to grow,” continues Sjølyst. “Our goal with CourseBuilder is to ensure that all course developers can stay ahead of expectations, by being able to easily create engaging learning experiences. The more engaging the experience, the more impact it will have on learners, and the more likely they are to complete the courses.”
CourseBuilder has been selected by large and small organisations including Aker Solutions, Halifax Bank of Scotland, Norwegian Defence, Posten Norge, SEB, NASDAQ OMX, Storebrand, Telenor and The Insolvency Service. In 2007, Edvantage group also provided custom content development services to over 150 organisations using CourseBuilder. “Our close contact with the market gives us the essential knowledge and insight that is necessary for developing leading technologies. We believe CourseBuilder will rapidly become the benchmark in the industry,” concludes Sjølyst.
