Authoring
The Luminosity eLearning development solution helps you to create and update high
quality engaging interactive eLearning quickly and easily. Because it’s so easy
to use, anyone can rapidly get up to speed with the product, including Subject Matter
Experts, Trainers or Instructional Designers, so the people with the appropriate
expertise, can directly create your learning content.
Luminosity has the flexibility to cope with the demands of modern complex eLearning,
without needing Flash expertise or programming skills.
Key features that help you to rapidly create eLearning include a comprehensive set
of pre-defined page templates, providing consistency in multi-author collaborative
environments. Luminosity also supports the standard media elements you are familiar
with, including images, Flash, video, audio, and PowerPoint. A shared media library
makes it easy to share and reuse these media assets across multiple projects.
Collaboration
The Luminosity software platform allows authors to create content both online and
offline. Content initially created locally, can be shared across your organisation,
with designers, authors, editors, reviewers, etc, all able to access the development
project. Collaborative development ensures that your eLearning can be created quickly,
with multiple authors creating content concurrently, but also that it meets your
company’s standards.
With Luminosity, a distributed authoring team can collaborate effectively through
full check-in/out version control at both project and individual page level. The
version of each page is tracked, allowing you to roll back to a previous version
of a page at any time. You can also check content out and work on it while disconnected,
then reconnect when convenient and check in the updates.
The Luminosity software platform includes support for workflow, allowing you to
enforce authoring and QA processes across your distributed team.
Publishing
You can use Luminosity's one-click publishing capability to publish fully SCORM
compliant eLearning content in the format that best suits your needs and the needs
of your learners. Luminosity includes built-in output formats for HTML, Microsoft
Silverlight, and Microsoft Windows Mobile-optimised content, which supports delivery
through mobile devices such as cell-phones and PDAs.
When publishing your content, you select your publisher and choose from one of the
built-in skins. The skin provides standardisation and compliance with your branding
guidelines and in-house style. If you need something more specific for your business,
we can also provide custom publishers and skins to meet your particular needs.
Built-in SCORM compatibility means that you can deliver Luminosity eLearning content
through your existing Learning Management System (LMS); or you can use Luminosity
Content Server, a SCORM-compliant LMS, that can be integrated with Microsoft SharePoint
technologies for easy delivery and management of learning content throughout your
organisation.
