EssentialSkillz Launch New Online E-Learning Solution Including New Rapid Authoring Tool

EssentialSkillz,a global E-Learning solutions expert, will be launching the new E-Learning suite, O-LAS, at the Learning Technologies show at Olympia 2 in London on the 26th and 27th January 2011.

This unique suite of tools has four modules that can work together or independently. O-LAS LMS , O-LAS Author, O-LAS Assess and O-LAS Content combined create a unique and unrivalled online E-Learningsystem with the power and flexibility of systems many times more expensive.

Each element of the O-LAS suite has its own unique functionality.

O-LAS LMS. This powerful LMS is the core of the suite. A SCORM compliant LMS, it features powerful reporting and tracking along with the ability to use the content library from EssentialSkillz, SCORM content created with O-LAS Author, or third party SCORM content. Hosted online, it provides a low cost and worry free solution for businesses. As a scalable solution, it is also perfect for large or small organisations and for companies that will need to expand their LMS solution as they roll it out.

O-LAS Author. Powerful E-Learning authoring tools can be complex to use and require highly trained content developers. O-LAS Author is a rapid authoring tool that has been designed to enable almost anyone in your organisation to create and publish E-Learning courses. Simple to use, yet powerful enough to create engaging, immersive training, you can leave course creation down to the people that really know the subject rather than a developer. O-LAS Author can be used with O-LAS LMS to enable you to roll out your new course, or, if you have an existing SCORM LMS, you can export the courses from O-LAS Author.

O-LAS Assess. Online assessment is essential for many organisations. Whether the assessment is Health and Safety related, HR related or company specific, you can create comprehensive assessments using O-LAS Assess. Uniquely, O-LAS Assess will create user prompts if there is advice that can be given during the assessment; for example helping to reduce risks. Combined with O-LAS LMS, you can create a curriculum of online activity including training created in O-LAS Author and Assessments created in O-LAS Assess plus any third party SCORM content that you wish to include.

O-LAS Content. Offering a broad range of training courses in either Health and Safety or Employment Law, O-LAS Content is a comprehensive library of SCORM courses that you can deploy with O-LAS LMS or your own LMS. Using O-LAS Content combined with O-LAS Author, you are able to edit and amend the courses to suit your own business requirements.

Ryan Pavey, Sales and Marketing Director at EssentialSkillz commented, “We have been working tirelessly to create an end to end integrated E-Learning solution and we are proud to be bringing what I believe is a market leading solution to the Learning Technologies show. We have a dynamic LMS, simple yet powerful rapid authoring tool, unique assessment functionality and a broad library of our own content – I don’t know of any other company offering a comparable solution.”

EssentialSkillz will be at the Learning Technologies show from the 26th to 27th January on stand 125.
