Atlantic Link Launches Rapid e-Learning for the Sony PSP
a curious press release from a nottingham company, personally i live in nottingham and havent heard of them :P
Atlantic Link's ground breaking rapid e-learning authoring tools have taken another significant leap forward. The software now allows courses to be designed specifically for the Sony PSP Slim & Lite.
The courses can be deployed locally (from the Memory Stick Duo) or from the Internet, giving users a true mobile learning experience. They also look superb, because all the functionality of Atlantic Link’s rapid e-learning authoring tools can be applied to small screen format.
MD Mike Alcock explains, "The traditional problem with courses on the PSP is that they’ve never been designed for the smaller screen and are often shrunken versions of courses designed for viewing on PC screens. To tackle this we have enabled our software to author at the native screen size of a Sony PSP. Because the output of Content Point is Flash, the courses still contain all of the high quality and interactivity of Atlantic Link’s usual output, but with the benefit of small screen design. Quizzes, games, activities, audio, video and Flash animations are all supported, giving users the richest possible course experience." Authoring is undertaken with the same software that is already delivering the fastest e-learning authoring for major companies across the globe.
Mike Alcock continues, “The potential applications for this technology are huge and almost mind-boggling. Tourist guides, language training, product training and updates, maintenance guides and training, medical training, interactive museum guides, schools training, the list is almost endless. With the government focusing on ‘personalised learning’, we believe that we are at the forefront of the next wave of e-learning. Because our rapid e-learning software is so incredibly quick at producing courses, content producers now have a method for producing huge volumes of highly interactive content for the Sony PSP in hours instead of weeks. Needless to say we are enormously excited about the possibilities."
