Intrallect and MyKnowledgeMap make managing learning resources easier | 19/08/2008
Intrallect and learning technology specialist MyKnowledgeMap are pleased to announce that they are working in partnership to deliver solutions that make learning resources easier to manage, repurpose, share and distribute across organisations.
Both companies have significant experience of working with clients in a range of sectors including higher education, schools, local authorities, professional bodies and corporates and have found that the unique combination of their product and services provides a particularly compelling proposition for prospective clients.
Rob Arntsen, CEO at MyKnowledgeMap, explains: “It was apparent in the very early stages of working with Intrallect that we shared the same vision for the way that learning materials can be quickly and easily produced, used and reused by our customers. Both companies have an independent approach to developing products which is very much based on open standards and interoperability with other elearning tools. This ethos has provided us a simple route to integrating the product sets into a single solution”.
The collaboration between the companies centres on a number of key products including:
Compendle - an innovative, easy-to-use system from MyKnowledgeMap that allows non-technical people to organise digital resources of all kinds into teaching-focused courses, and then to publish them as SCORM packages.
IntraLibrary – Intrallect’s SCORM-compliant digital repository solution that allows organisations to better discover, share, manage and distribute digital learning resources either directly or through a range of tools including web portals, learning platforms, blogs, wikis, news readers and content authoring/management tools like Compendle.
Review Panel – by MyKnowledgeMap is designed to facilitate online review of digital resources in any format.
QuestionBuilder - a web-based application from MyKnowledgeMap that facilitates the authoring of IMS QTI conformant quizzes, tests and assessments.
Charles Duncan of Intrallect explains “Each of the individual products that Intrallect and MyKnowledgeMap provide are very much best in class in their own right. However, we are increasingly finding that by bringing complementary products together we are able to provide even more value for customers”.
“For example, being able to organise resources in Compendle and publish to intraLibrary in a single click takes the normal time and effort out of managing resources and allows you to focus more on developing the resources themselves”.
“The early feedback is excellent and we expect to announce some interesting projects in the very near future”.
