eLearning for the Apple iPhone and Other Mobile
Devices |
| The
ability to develop and deliver media rich eLearning, exams and
surveys to mobile devices with full learning management
capabilities has been an elusive capability for learning
technology providers. KMx is the only solution that can make the
same learning object available for use in an eLearning course,
as part of a classroom curricula, or for incorporation in a
searchable knowledge base as a performance support tool.

"Our extensive industry research
has concluded that no other learning technology platform can
support the development and delivery of eLearning courseware for
mobile devices, with full conformance to the SCORM learning
management standard. With the release of KMx Version 5.3, KMSI
has achieved this significant milestone and set a new standard
for our industry" said Jack E. Lee, President and CEO of KMSI.

With
KMx, end- users can access courses, learning objects, exams and
surveys using their iPhone or Windows CE
handheld device with full learning management capabilities,
including:
- Time tracking (when, by whom and for how
long was the learning object accessed)
- Bookmarking (allowing the user to save
their progress and return at a later time)
- Assessment Scoring and Remediation
(recording each student response and tracking retakes)
- Survey and Performance Appraisal Delivery
- Pass/Fail and Completion Status Recording

"Our
clients can now leverage mobile devices to deliver and
administer performance appraisals and peer reviews, provide
instant access to company experts via chat rooms and threaded
discussion forums, and deliver a robust content repository for
just-in-time training and to support workers in the field" said
Brandi Lee, Vice President of Training and Customer Support for
KMSI. |

KMx provides development and delivery of eLearning
courseware, knowledge management and collaboration tools for mobile devices, including the Apple iPhone and Microsoft
Windows CE devices with full conformance to the Sharable Content Object
Reference Model (SCORM) standard. The KMx SCORM Application Programming
Interface (API) is the only full implementation of the learning
standard that has been designed to support both online and
offline use. With the release of KMx V5.3, this core platform
technology has been extended to provide support for most mobile
devices and hand-held technologies. |

"It is
really exciting to see health care providers, insurance
agents, sales executives and workers from all industries
access learning
objects and assessments using mobile devices in the
field, instead of having to break away from the task to
find a workstation to access critical information.
KMx mobile courseware can provide a rich media experience with
audio, video, animations, exams, surveys, branching and
interactivity" said
Mike Binnix, CTO of KMSI. |

KMSI
has also included a full mobile collaboration suite with the KMx
5.3 release. Collaboration features include mobile chat rooms,
threaded discussion boards, surveys, performance evaluations, a
searchable knowledge management system, a performance management
system and talent management tools. |
