HONG KONG, Aug. 19 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- NetDimensions, a global provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems announced the release of the Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP) 5.5 today.
A major upgrade in EKP 5.5 is the hierarchical picture-based catalog view. "Nesting catalogs under other catalogs is now a standard feature of EKP," said Ray Ruff, NetDimensions Chief Information Officer.
"A hierarchical catalog view means a course can be listed in more than one catalog. This feature is extremely useful in e-commerce, document management applications and multiple groups or business units where they need to be precisely managed."
Version control of courses and learning objects in EKP 5.5 now gives clients the ability to keep track of which versions of courses or learning objects a user has taken, making it easier for compliance and certification audits.
Visual enhancements also give users a more appealing and navigable interface. "For example, the new Learning Path feature presents a graphical layout of the courses currently assigned to learners. This makes it easier to view items in course assignments that need action, are in process or have been completed," explained Ruff.
Meeting the needs of both managers and learners
Enhancements in EKP 5.5 tailored to the needs of administrators or managers include tracking certificate IDs for easier management of certifications, greater flexibility and efficiency in planning multiple training days, as well as setting up due dates and availability dates for courses. This will allow managers to set up the same course over different days when training a diverse group of learners.
"Clients conducting classes using WebEx Virtual Classroom can also use EKP to coordinate classes and keep track of user enrollments and scores," noted Ruff.
Learners will now have the option to specify a date range when printing user transcripts, view the map and directions of a training facility, and greater flexibility to change their status when enrolled in a course.
"We even made the e-commerce interface more intuitive, walking the buyer through the whole process." noted Ruff. "Our ultimate goal is to give our clients an easier and more convenient experience with EKP so they can focus on learning. Each upgrade takes us one step closer to that goal."
