Boulder, CO (US), October 2012 - With the increased use of technology for learning, learners are demanding to access their content on the many devices they already use when they want it and customized to their specific wants and needs. In response to these changes and continuing their reputation as an industry leader, Xyleme, Inc. has released a new version of Xyleme LCMS that provides significant improvements in the areas of content personalization, output formats, and usability.
Continuing a heavy focus on being able to support personalization, the update to Xyleme LCMS 3.7 provides training organizations the unparalleled flexibility to build their own classification vocabularies as it relates to their specific business. This is especially important with the increased focus on personalization because it allows users to build a single source of XML content that can be dynamically assembled based on individual learner requirements and delivered on any device at the moment they need it.
"Consumers are demanding that their learning be personalized, and as a result the content has to change from one size fits all, monolithic courses, to nuggets of content that can be configured on the fly to meet individual requirements," commented Jeff Katzman, CLO and Founder at Xyleme. "Adapting to this methodology will be the key to sustained competitive advantage and valuable employee retention."
Other highlights of Xyleme LCMS 3.7 demonstrate Xyleme's full support of the agile process and include many customer-driven features including
Other features include glossary and cross-reference support in ePub outputs, embedding external video content like YouTube or Vimeo videos, and the new Hot Text question type.
