OutStart Wins Gold for Technology Excellence

Boston, MA (USA), June 2011 - OutStart has won a coveted Brandon Hall Gold Award for Technology Excellence in the Learning Content Management category. The honor recognizes OutStart LCMS's delivery of personalization content in a variety of ways to maximize the flow and effectiveness of knowledge.




OutStart LCMS personalization provides learners with access to the information they need, when they need it, to significantly enhance and accelerate the learning process. This learner-centric approach provides a unique learning experience for users, allowing them to access knowledge in whatever form best fits their needs.

OutStart features three personalization technologies that are part of the LCMS and used by OutStart customers. These include

  • personalization through administration: OutStart customers define a profile to match a user to specific content. This personalization technology has been used by OutStart customers for the past ten years.
  • personalization through prescription: OutStart customer match content to users based on knowledge gaps. It is the most common use of prescriptive technology on the market today.
  • personalization through user choice: OutStart customers are not restricted to defined pre-conceptions of the content's suitability. Instead learners select lessons that are appropriate, and the LCMS builds the course on the fly in whichever format they request. This is the most cutting-edge example of prescriptive learning today.
