CourseMate Vitrual University Software

Business Value

Enterprise learning can be constructed from a wide variety of source material, such as legacy text documents, word processing documents, graphics, streaming media, flash animation files, PowerPoint presentations, etc.,. When content is packaged and added to the Virtual University Appliance central database as Learning objects, your organization effectively creates a 'Knowledge Repository'. Using the Learning Management System (LMS) and the Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS), both an integral part of the Virtual University Appliance, this Knowledge can be widely distributed as either structured e-learning or as a freeform, company-wide knowledge base used for just-in-time learning or a combination of both.
