Easygenerator has become partner of LINGOs. LINGOs is a consortium of over 65 international humanitarian relief, development, conservation and social justice organizations that share learning resources and experiences. By providing the latest learning technologies and courses from their partners, LINGOs helps ngo’s to increase the skill levels of their employees, and therefore increasing the impact of their programs. We are very happy with this partnership. But there are more reasons for us to be happy with this partnership. Learning development with LINGOs is a very complicated process. MORE >>

A small update in our continuing saga about the Google based LMS. Just last month I wrote about ning.com turning their service in a paid one. Today they issued a press release , stating that it will remain free for educational purposes. Pearson will sponsor the service in this case. This is a very good example of how a Web 2.0 service is not only adopted by educators all over the world, but is also saved by a large multinational with world-leading businesses in education, business information and consumer publishing.

Recently, Steve Jobs announced they will not be supporting Flash in their iPod and iPhone OS. So far, Windows Mobile 6.5 and Android are also not yet supporting it. This is a tough call for all those e-Learning authoring tools that rely so strongly on Flash. Next to Flash, our tool EasyGenerator currently also uses DHTML for some of the question interactions.

An interesting development, the differences between the two worlds is becoming harder to determine. Some personal history: Sana is part of a bigger company that has been developing web sites since about the time Internet became mainstream. They were upgraded with forums, wiki’s and chat. MORE >>

In  the spirit of the recently announced e- Learning piranha network A New Spring and easygenerator have combined forces to solve some of this problems. Publishing and updating. Publishing a scorm package to a LMS is often a lot of work. Capturing user feedback. Tracking and tracing. MORE >>
