Lectora Publisher Expands e-Learning Delivery to Palm OS Platform

December 20, 2001

Trivantis Corporation, the industry leader in e-learning authoring software, today introduced Lectora Publisher(TM) for the Palm OS(R) platform, a sophisticated easy to use authoring system for desktop computers that enables educators, students, and employees to develop and publish proprietary learning content for delivery to Palm(TM) handhelds.

Lectora Publisher for Palm OS pairs speed with convenience because the authoring software makes it easy to create content quickly and publish it instantly. Lectora significantly expands the ability of schools and companies to quickly and efficiently put "just-in-time" information into the hands of students and employees. No programming skills are required.

"Lectora Publisher for Palm OS is a fantastic authoring tool that educators will find very useful when creating content for use on Palm handheld computers," said Mike Lorion, vice president of Education for Palm, Inc. "Not only can teachers and trainers create content, they can also assess a student's or an employee's knowledge of the material. These capabilities make this authoring software a very compelling product."

Educators can create course revisions quickly and distribute them in seconds. The advanced testing suite enables educators to quickly build review questions and tests using any combination of true/false, multiple choice, short answer, essay, drag and drop, and fill-in-the-blank questions. Single-click publishing creates a single install file, which can be distributed to Palm handheld computers. Corporations can create in-depth multimedia briefings to employees about fast-breaking news about the competition.

The user-friendly interface, drag-and-drop functionality, and advanced testing capabilities make it easy to create engaging, mobile content by integrating text, images, animations, and interactive exercises into a portable learning environment.

"Just as Palm has closed the technology gap in training and education by making affordable computing available to everyone," said Trivantis CEO Timothy Loudermilk, "Lectora Publisher for Palm OS closes the content development gap."
