A Good Mood

Philip O'Brien - Wednesday, September 03, 2008

We're developing a "thing". I say "thing" because there is a lot of confusion out there around the terms 'Learner Management System' or 'Content Management System'. There are lots of LMSs out there and each one seems to do something different. Some are all about spaces for discussion others about collecting data. There was so much confusion in the market that we couldn't find an LMS to do what we wanted it to in a clear and simple way, so we're making one.

Ours has a very simple idea behind it; to deliver our e-learning in a clear and simple to use way. It'll track learner progress as well but our first goal is for the user to be able to use the e-learning easily. Design is underway and looking really good. We've been presented with a 'mood board' covering colour schemes, fonts, layout etc. Boost have done a wonderful job. The colours are welcoming, the fonts clear, icons are simple, we love it.

It's a good start and we're looking forward to showing it off.
