For everybody who currently owns a smartphone, regardless of operating system, we all know the feeling of that first moment when we take it out of its box and excitedly think of all the apps we want to download to personalise it, so that it is an extension of our own personality.
 
The same can be said with brand recognition within a company.  Ask yourself, when you are writing an official letter, do you feel more, or less, official using the company letterhead?  Do you hand out your contact details scrawled across a napkin, or do you have business cards with a logo and company colours so people can make the association between you and your company?
 
We don’t realise how important these things are, until we have to go without.  Generic off-the-shelf e-learning has become the accepted standard for most organisations, but accepted because they have no other choice.  Thankfully, in 2010, Learning Nexus realised the need for a rapid authoring tool that allows organisations to take any of the ‘generic off-the-shelf’ e-learning that is offered in its catalogue, and personalise it to make it their own, or create their own e-learning from scratch. This cloud-based course builder is also the tool that is used by Learning Nexus to create generic or bespoke e-learning. It has always been ahead of the pack, in that it is available to customers everywhere at any time, allowing them the freedom to create, review and complete all the courses online. Now, in 2012, Learning Nexus has made several new updates and improvements to its authoring tool, to make sure it deserves a place on the leading podium. It is now much easier to use, and has been reshaped to adopt many of the new functionality that Learning Nexus customers requested.
 
The updated Course Builder from Learning Nexus has been created with the end user’s core needs in mind. Not only can an organisation’s e-learning be an extension of its brand awareness with their own logos and content, but using this tool to create or customise their own e-learning will save them both time and money, two precious resources in this current economic climate. Cloud-based technology allows several users with different access roles to collaboratively work on a course and make immediate amendments without having to tediously review, update and re-upload as you would with other authoring tools. This is how it makes tweaking existing Learning Nexus courses so that they are fit for purpose, just as effortless. The media library of resources within the Course Builder also puts everything they need – images, audio files, videos and animations – at their fingertips. Personalised e-learning has never been this easy. Go ahead, open the box!
 
“Using the Course Builder has been a journey well worth making and Learning Nexus is always on hand with expert help and support. Now we can create our own courses, and can see a wealth of exciting possibilities for our business” – BaxterStorey
