Giunti Labs showcases personalised and mobile learning content management at Masie’s Learning Systems 2008
Management of learning objects, digital repositories and the digital marketplace will also be featured.Giunti Labs, a global leader in e-learning and digital asset management, will showcase worldwide customer deployments and its holistic approach to the integration of personalised and mobile learning with digital content management and delivery, during Elliott Masie’s Learning Systems 2008 event, this week in Las Vagas in the USA.
Giunti Labs North America will be involved in the event as a sponsor, presenter and exhibitor. Reflecting the event’s focus on best practices, issues and deploying systems for organisational learning, representatives will be demonstrating the company’s award-winning product lines at the Giunti Labs ‘Sponsor Connection Point’.
Attendees of Learning Systems 2008 are encouraged to meet Giunti Labs to learn more about learn eXact®, the company’s flagship learning content management system (LCMS), and the HarvestRoad Hive® digital marketplace and repository solutions and technical content management system (TCMS).
As part of the conference agenda, on Friday 11th April, Stephan Thieringer, COO of Giunti Labs North America, will participate in a panel entitled ‘The Future of Learning Systems (Part 2): Interviews with CLO/CTO From Suppliers’. Hosted by Cushing Anderson, programme director of IDC’s Corporate Learning and Performance Research Group and co-host of Learning Systems 2008, the session is focused on current and future learning systems challenges.
Stephan Thieringer commented: “Globalisation is creating new demands and opportunities for learning. Through new mobile delivery platforms and the improved control and interoperability made possible through MIT’s Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) and its OSIDs specifications for open service orientated learning architectures, we are now able to create a learning systems architecture that provides contextually relevant, personalised content – just-in-time, just enough and just as desired – to meet the needs of the individual learner.”
Described by Elliott Masie as a ‘wonderful worldwide advocate for the learning industry’, Giunti Labs’ CEO, Fabrizio Cardinali joined Masie in advance of the show for a podcast on the state of digital learning and content. Listen to it at: http://learningsystems08.com/giunti or read a transcript at http://www.giuntilabs.com/info.php?vvu=15&pud=477
In the podcast, Cardinali comments on Giunti Labs’ leadership in emerging trends including the uptake of more informal and personalised learning content as well as on new delivery technologies including mobile devices, location based content, portals and Software as a Service (SaaS). He also describes the emerging ‘digital marketplace’ in which creators, traders and brokers will be able to pass content from digital repositories through learning content management systems, to make it easy for end-learners to download relevant content on the fly to their iPods, iPhones and through YouTube videos for educational purposes.
Cardinali’s podcast also details Giunti Labs’ recent acquisition of the HarvestRoad’s Hive® digital repository and technical content management system (TCMS), which are now integrated with Giunti Labs’ solutions for content authoring and management. These technologies are powerful tools that can drive the adoption and success of the digital marketplace.
From his viewpoint as Chair of the European Learning industry Group (ELIG), Cardinali closes his podcast discussion on how the world economy is affecting the industry and expresses his optimism on progress towards standards for reusable and discoverable content. Cardinali expresses his belief that open architectures like OKI and standards including SCORM and IMS Common Cartridge, Moodle and Sakai will streamline the packaging, harvesting and distribution of learning content.
