Rapid eLearning

Version 2.0 of Atlantic Link Launched

Reading (UK), November 2010 - Kaplan IT Learning, a provider of technology solutions that enable organisations to develop and deploy high-quality eLearning rapidly, has announced the release of version 2.0 of its Atlantic Link Content Point, Capture Point and Knowledge Point products.




The new product release, Atlantic Link 2.0, includes a range of new features and functionalities that deliver powerful media-suite editing capabilities without the need to use any third-party editing software.

A new embedded video editor within Atlantic Link 2.0 Content Point allows users to edit videos, including the ability to crop clips, change video and audio playback quality (and file size), change frame size, overdub audio, and more. Editing slides is made easier with zoom-option features and the ability to select multiple elements to edit at the same time. In addition, an extensive variety of video formats are supported, including the popular .WMV format.

Mike Alcock, VP Product Evangelist Kaplan IT Learning, says, "With Atlantic Link 2.0 there is no need for organisations to purchase multiple products or vendor solutions that have bundled-in, third-party software. Atlantic Link 2.0 is the most complete eLearning-development solution because it includes collaborative, server-based authoring and review, screen capture, integrated sound studio, an embedded video-editing suite, integrated image editing, and integrated LMS capabilities, all in one tool."

A fully featured image editor is now included within Atlantic Link 2.0 Capture Point product that provides eLearning authors with both full drawing and editing capabilities. Images can be edited "on the fly" within Capture Point, rather than having to be exported to third-party applications such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop. This is especially useful for masking sensitive data, thus complying with requirements of the Data Protection Act.
