Our Passion is the Difference - IMC launches UK business
Birmingham/London, January 2007 - "Our Passion is the Difference": under this headline IMC AG from Germany, one of the leading European vendors for learning management solutions, will officially launch its business in the UK during the Learning Technologies 2007 exhibition in London. With the learning management system CLIX and rapid authoring tool LECTURNITY, IMC will present cutting-edge technologies that underline its passion for learning to its potential clients.
"2007 promises to be one of the most exciting years yet for elearning. Trends like Web 2.0 and mobile learning will take learning technologies to a new level and positively influence the way students and users reach their learning objectives", says IMC board member Wolfgang Kraemer.
At Learning Technologies 2007, IMC is launching its learning management system CLIX 6.1. This J2EE-based, scalable and multilingual learning platform supports all learning and knowledge processes and is thus capable of meeting the diverse and individual requirements of organisations that need to develop managers, train their work force or teach students.
The CLIX framework includes learning, testing, certification and performance management as well as powerful tools for the evaluation and assessment of all training activities. CLIX also comes with a set of standardised integration technologies, and is certified for AICC, SCORM, and SAP Netweaver.
New in CLIX 6 and 7 are social learning and Web 2.0 features such as Blogs and Wikis, the integration of ICQ and Skype and extended integration frameworks, including especially the integration of CLIX in Microsoft's Sharepoint Server.
IMC's PowerPoint-based Rapid Authoring Software LECTURNITY is a successful tool, widely used by customers in the university and corporate sector. LECTURNITY makes possible the quick and cost-effective creation of multimedia content, without help from external specialists. Lectures - including all annotations - can be recorded with sound and video and then published on the internet directly afterwards. Information and ideas can be communicated clearly and quickly, with lasting effect, via interactive presentations.
The forthcoming Release of LECTURNITY 2.0 will provide new interactive elements such as a test tool and MPEG4-support allowing lectures or presentations created with LECTURNITY to be played on an iPod or similar mobile device.
Wolfgang Kraemer's own passion becomes obvious when he explains; "Learning and teaching can be made easier, more successful, more exciting, and more satisfactory when using sophisticated learning technologies like CLIX or LECTURNITY. We believe that when using our learning technologies, our passion for learning becomes clear. We want users to share their own learning experiences and insights with fellow learners. We want them to demand more learning, we want them to get better qualifications and we want them to be open for life long intellectual challenge. This thinking underlines our business. Our Passion makes the Difference".
"The administrative part of learning management is, of course, the key element of the decision for a learning management solution", adds Frank Milius, the IMC board member responsible for product development. "But equal to this 'management' motivation the 'learning' part is fundamental. Successful learning is always a question of motivation, communication and fun. With our tools and technologies we want to provide both: excellent management solutions as well as outstanding learning experiences".
