Click2learn Inc. (NASDAQ:CLKS) has launched Aspen 2.0, a new software suite that sets a new standard in e-Learning development, delivery and administration.
The Aspen 2.0 suite is the first solution on the market to integrate a learning management server (LMS), learning content
management system (LCMS) and virtual classroom (VC).
Aspen 2.0 comprises a set of modules built on a single, 100%, web-based technology platform that addresses specific
business and learning goals. Benefits of the integrated platform solution include:
* Shorter implementation times
* Lower implementation costs
* Reduced training and support costs - single sign-on, consistent user interface and language support
* More manageable deployment - one database, common user management, unified security model
* Greater functionality at a lower cost.
Another key benefit of Aspen's single, integrated platform is the significantly reduced cost of owning, deploying and
maintaining e-Learning software.
Aspen's open architecture also enables easy integration with an existing IT infrastructure.
Core applications
Core applications include full-featured LMS, LCMS and virtual classroom modules including:
* Collaboration Center - Increases productivity by providing online access to experts
* Personalised Delivery - Reduces learning time by adapting courses to the learner's needs
* Information Management - Delivers timely information to support daily tasks
* Performance Management - Helps realise business goals by managing performance objectives and competencies
* Simulation Editor - Creates realistic, interactive scenarios for presentations, practice and performance testing.
Standards support for global enterprises
The Aspen platform supports multi-channel delivery such as mobile devices, and is compliant with all industry standards
including XML, vCalendar, SCORM, AICC and Section 508.
Designed to scale to global enterprises, Aspen 2.0 also supports multiple languages, time zones and currencies.
