A recent poll by learning analyst firm Brandon-Hall shows that 78% of respondents predict a further shift towards a multiple learning channel paradigm. This should come as no surprise. Smart companies realize that the only true path to on-demand training is to successfully "follow-the-learner", i.e. leverage the most effective content delivery format, be it virtual classrooms, self-paced courses or peer-to-peer flexible learning. The Xyleme Learning Content Management System (LCMS) is built on an open, 100% XML architecture giving organizations the flexibility to allow business drivers, not technical limitations, to determine the best mode of delivery and fostering flexible learning techniques.

Consistency at Every Learning Touch Point

In today’s connected economy, the ability to quickly respond is as critical for flexible learning as it is for product development, manufacturing, multi-channel publishing and marketing. Xyleme LCMS guarantees training content to be up-to-date, consistent at every learner touch point, and delivered on-demand:

• Single source platform: content is created only once and stored as open, standard XML that can be effortlessly reused across any blended learning product and deployed in any delivery format.
• Simple change management: an edit to existing content will automatically propagate that change to all learning products where that content appears.
• Real-time distribution: new content and approved edits to existing content can trigger immediate delivery to relevant users in their preferred format.

The open, non-proprietary nature of Xyleme LCMS ensures that training organizations never risk compromising the integrity of valuable training content. This impacts the bottom line through more informed sales teams, enhanced customer service, and ease of compliance.

Mass Customization & Multi-Channel Publishing

Xyleme LCMS maximizes the value of learning content through the mass customization of course content. The following capabilities allow for the personalized assembly, packaging and delivery of reusable flexible learning objects based on user profiles and delivery preferences:

• Contextual search: Users can search within the context of a course to locate relevant pieces of training content. The result of a query can be a single element such as a topic or paragraph. Selected results can be assembled into a new product on-demand for optimal reuse and repurposing of existing training content.
• Metadata tagging: Rich metadata can be added to individual content elements to enhance query capabilities, drive profile matching, or enable the individual sale of custom training materials.
• Multi-channel publishing: The solution enables packaging and distributing of learning objects as required by individual users. For example, users can assemble customized online learning for new hires depending on their role, distribute individual content elements to the PDA of a sales rep, or print localized reference materials for a field office.

Xyleme allows for the efficient creation of learning products that are unique to the specific needs of individual learners. In the process of this mass customization, Xyleme LCMS eliminates the need for redundant content development and multiple production tools.
