Content Management
Standards Compliant
Open Source products that are built with open standards offers your organization accessibility, compatibility, interoperability, and membership to a larger community.
LORS-Central incorporates industry standards and specifications such as IMS-Content Packaging and SCORM. The metadata editor also supports other metadata application profiles such as Dublin Core, GEM, CanCore, and others.
Solution Grove has created specialized import scripts that automatically adjust for non-standard IMS implementations from several versions of Blackboard. If you are using a commercial product you will be able to transfer your existing content easily and efficiently.
Standards-based technology enables you to quickly import and retrieve learning objects, use other authoring tools, create global partnerships, and seamlessly incorporate content into your course or share learning objects with colleagues worldwide.
