The Universal Online Authoring System
The eAuthor is the universal online authoring system for
increasing your productivity in corporate education. It
enables authors to quickly and independently create,
update, manage and publish more than 30 various types
of learning, training and information media, either autonomously or as part of a collaboration.
Being based on methods stemming from knowledge
management, learning objective and competency models
means the eAuthor can be effectively employed by inexperienced authors. Without the need for programming
knowledge, multimedia is produced that is highly interactive, didactically sound and target group-oriented.
All media, the contained learning and knowledge units and
also all graphics, photographs, videos, audio or animations
are stored in a central knowledge database. This results in
a virtually redundancy-free system with round the clock
accessibility. A change history, auditing function, dependency view and other helpful tools enable your authors to
efficiently manage and maintain all media.
The media created with the eAuthor can be published in a
variety of target formats for different target profiles: Stand
alone, online and offline (HTML5), learning management
systems (SCORM/TIN CAN), mobile apps (iOS and Android), print (PDF) or embedded (SCORM/HTML5). This
makes the eAuthor the ideal tool for working with the multitude of target platforms and systems within your business.
A wide variety of templates, didactic patterns and generic
media environments support your authors and ensure a
consistent appearance, target group-oriented didactics and
an expectation-compliant, user-friendly interface.
Not only does it support your authors with the creation,
management, editing and publishing of the media, but the
eAuthor also makes the knowledge specific to your business
available to your learners. In accordance with their individually assigned access rights, all published media is easily
accessible to your learners within a custom-designed and
structured learning cloud. In addition, a comprehensive
search function enables quick and direct access to the desired learning and knowledge units. This ensures not only
targeted and purposeful learning during training programs,
but also makes possible situational learning in the workplace, increasing the performance of your learner.
The eAuthor assists your authors, increasing their efficiency
and improving the quality of the media.
The eAuthor is the only authoring system worldwide with
which media for use in learning, training and working can
be jointly created and stored in a single database. With
the eAuthor your authors create self-learning media for use
with flexible and self-guided, workplace or mobile learning,
training media for classroom training, and also informative media or documentation for use in the every-day work
environment. An authoring system for all of your needs!
A multi-lingual interface, export and import functions for
collaboration with translation agencies, and continuous
system support for multiple languages make the eAuthor
a particular recommendation for international companies.
