The single largest investment any training organization makes is content. An investment that rapidly grows as more training products are created, modified, or enhanced. The ability to reach each learner at their moment of need demands efficient content reuse that can serve multiple audiences and multiple contexts. That’s why Xyleme's Learning Content Management System (LCMS) provides a structured XML authoring module that is comprised of customizable instructional design templates and granular reusable learning objects. Only Xyleme provides true single source development to enable effortless content reusability across any output format with our instructional design templates.

The Xyleme LCMS product is based upon reusable learning objects that are individually created, edited, approved and published. Each individual learning object is developed only once and stored centrally as native XML. The open and flexible nature of the XML standard allows for effortless content reuse to any blended learning product such as instructor manuals, eLearning courses, assessments, and reference materials without any need to import/export or reformat content.
