Social Media type is listed first followed by an example of that media type:
TOPYX eLearning Software Provides Unique eCommerce Solution The Protocol Institute™ has chosen social eLearning software, TOPYX®, as the market-facing eCommerce platform to provide integrated social learning features into their library of etiquette, manners and behavior eLearning courses . The use of TOPYX will provide state of the art social learning platform designed to enhance the online learning experience and to keep users engaged. Jocelyn Woo, CCO at The Protocol Institute stated, “After seeing how TOPYX integrates social learning into the learning process, we recognized that their eCommerce solution was right for us to better reach our market with relevant and professional eLearning materials. And, it will help increase engagement and participation which is key to applying the life lessons needed by so many people today. We feel that TOPYX was the perfect choice to help us deliver our courses in a modern and effective way to support our mission to build confidence and preparedness in children and adults to act in an appropriate, considerate and truthful manner.” How Much Can You Increase Your Training ROI with eLearning Software? In today’s work environment, it is becoming more and more important for every employee to have access to the information they need to perform their jobs. Having the right information can help save time and money (and critical errors). This is especially true in overcoming the learning curve with new employees or if new processes are added. Luckily, we live in a time where the technology exists to overcome this problem. By incorporating the right business eLearning software into the training process, companies can increase training return on investment (ROI). Here are some points on the benefits of implementing training software:
Emerging Technology: APIs and Mashups and eLearning If you want to take a peek into the future, then you should look no further than APIs and what they bring to the table. Unfortunately, too many vendors in the eLearning space have failed to see the power and potential of this capability, and have decided to ignore them. It is too bad, because what they can do far exceeds what is available today, and enables YOU the end user to have the power and control to unlock possibilities for your learners – regardless if they are your employees, customers, wholesalers, etc. API An API (Application Program Interface) enables an interface from a piece of software to communicate with another piece of software (in its simplest form) or multiple pieces of software (called a mashup). Facilitation now exists between the pieces of software, similar to interaction between a human and a computer (again, in a basic example). Open Architecture APIs are open source code, so that developers (inc. your IS/IT people) can make modifications or changes in the code to suit your needs. Some APIs are pre-built and thus, code access is not possible (depends on the API). Google code is open source code, so you can manipulate. If you choose not to manipulate the code, you do not have to. Twitter has APIs, so does Facebook, even Linkedin… Interactyx Limited Expands eLearning Software Offering with Embedded Course Authoring Tool The combination of the TOPYX eLearning platform and the myUdutu course authoring tool provides a quick and easy course creation and delivery system hosted through TOPYX. TOPYX is available anytime, anywhere, so you can engage your development team even while they are in the field.
