Cloud-Based e-Learning development? We’ve been doing that for years!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Orlando, Florida, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 28, 2011 -- One of the latest buzz-words in the tech industry that has also worked its way into e-learning circles is “Cloud computing”. When an application is in the “Cloud” it is an application that you use completely online in a web-browser, without the need to install software on your computer. Additionally, you can access that application AND your content and files from any computer with a web-browser in the "Cloud".

For example, many users are turning to Google Docs to do spreadsheets online, instead of using MS Excel. There are no source files to keep track of, and no software to install. Remember emailing yourself an excel file so you could work on it from home, and then emailing it back to yourself at the office the next day? With cloud-based applications, there is no need for such tasks. Just log in, and there is all of your “stuff” right in front of you, no matter where you are.

Sounds pretty cool, huh? So in order to allow for the creation of e-learning content in “the cloud”, many online training development software providers are scrambling to figure out how to re-engineer their development systems and make them “cloud-based”.

But here’s the really exciting part. At EZ LCMS, we have been doing this all along! From day one, our Learning Management System has included (for free, by the way) an online courseware development system that allows users build e-learning content in an online, collaborative form-based development system. For years our users have been able to upload media and materials, and create interactive courseware including quizzes and tests, from any computer with a web-browser, and time, 24-7.

We are not trying to pull an “Al Gore”, and imply that we invented Cloud computing by any means. We have just known all along that an online development system that that makes course files accessible by multiple people at once, from anywhere, was the most convenient, effective means of e-learning content development.

So while many vendors will soon be releasing new, untested, experimental cloud-based versions of their development applications, EZ LCMS already has a tried-and-true cloud-based development suite that has been used effectively by hundreds of organizations for many years. I guess you could say that our “Cloud” is a bit more mature than most.
