e2train announce SCORM 2004 compliance in new version of Kallidus LMS

e2train has announced that the latest version of its learning management system, Kallidus LMS V7.2, is compliant with the most recently announced SCORM 2004 standard.

Martin Belton, e2train’s Sales and Marketing Director said, "We’re delighted to add SCORM 2004 functionality to Kallidus LMS V7.2. The revisions to the Run Time and Content Aggregation SCORM books will mean a more robust and assured environment for trainers to run content. But the addition of the new sequencing and navigation book will now enable authors to deliver ‘intelligent courses’ where content can be rearranged to suit.

"That means authors will be able to create courses which include automatic branching dependent upon results. Alternatively an introductory piece may be made mandatory before a learner gets the freedom to choose between all the other bits of content. It’s these kind of operations that enable the LMS users to have better control of their content and enhance the way it is presented to the learner."
