OutStart, the leading provider of the only proven, content-centric software product family for learning, today announced the availability of Trainersoft 8.5, the latest version of the industry’s fastest and easiest e-learning authoring tool. Trainersoft provides organizations with an easy-to-use application for creating and reusing learning content resulting in reduced time associated with developing training materials.
Trainersoft makes it easy for subject matter experts to author content to spread their unique knowledge throughout the organization without the need for technical programming skills. Through the added feature of Trainersoft “Connect”, organizations using Trainersoft 8.5 are now able to adopt a hybrid model to centrally store and manage learning content. Companies can now search, find and re-use existing content through this single storage location, providing version control and metadata tags for quickly finding course content, and utilize a “check in” and “check out” feature that tracks whenever parts of courses are taken in or out of the central storage location. “Connect” capabilities are provided through the integration of Trainersoft with Evolution, OutStart’s market leading learning content management system.
In addition to providing an easier tool for developing content, Trainersoft 8.5 also features the added benefit of efficiently delivering courses to learners. Organizations can now store published courses in a central content repository for delivery. Trainersoft 8.5 is tightly integrated with OutStart’s Evolution Learner Manager (ELM), a complete learning management system (LMS) that manages all of the administration that surrounds learning and training processes, allowing for simplified distribution of new courses. The solution is also designed to integrate with third party LMS offerings as well as to deliver learning for non-LMS customers.
“OutStart is committed to providing any size organization or group with cost effective learning tools that solve their unique problems,” said Massood Zarrabian, CEO and president of OutStart. “This latest version of Trainersoft provides all of customers with the ability to rapidly create efficient e-learning through the reuse of course content.”
