Content Models is for fast-paced organizations that need to meet high-volume, professional and consistent learning output demand. This is possible by providing both rapid authoring capabilities and model-based automation of content production in different languages that can be delivered on different channels and platforms.

With Content Models, dragging and dropping raw assets produces sophisticated, highly interactive, and high quality instructional content that is also consistent in terms of its pedagogical approach and visual representation.

Authors can count on ready-to-use, open and extensible sets of HTML- and Flash-based templates for online authoring as well as desktop authoring. Online Editor’s templates are based on the same XML technology employed by eXact learning LCMS’s professional desktop authoring tool, eXact learning Packager. 

Both tools enable controlled content production with remote users working on- and offline, with various levels of functionalities, through various access-controlled user profiles.

As an example, when developing a learning course which will include several like-screens (e.g. pages with a title, text, image, audio file, etc), you can define the template to represent this data, so that you may then focus on the content.The pages created using the template will automatically:

Content model is a software application, which defines:

• The user interface and its functionalities
• The navigation and tracking rules
• The set of templates included in the model

A template is a model for a single content chunk, and it is defined by:

• A user interface
• Its functionalities
• A set of input data
• A set of parameters

• Separation of the abstract content structure from its visual representation – It’s a simple operation for the author to implement any desired structure.
• Drag and drop operation allows for fast implementation of a screen, starting from the assets (images, text, audio, video, etc.). The final screen is automatically generated and embedded in a visual “shell” with no need of programming
• Look and feel customization – Both the Learning Object container interface (GUI Manager) and the templates (Templates Style
  Manager) can be fully customized
• Template set - This means that the model can be formed by a set of templates which can be customized according to the needs
  of the specific context
• Localization – The template-based approach enables rapid and repeatable localization of large amounts of content
• Coherence of the final result - All screens follow the templates’ sets defined in the model
• Standards-based content tracking (AICC, SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004) to measure the total time the user spends on the
  content, as well as the learning materials’ completion status and the user’s score
• Benefits for the whole process - All of the production team’s actions are guided, since storyboards are made according to
  templates, and media is produced according to guidelines that can be easily defined
• Content organization and navigation - Control whether the end user may navigate freely or must navigate each screen/level in a
  mandatory, sequential manner
• HTML and Flash-based content models – support all possible learning content production scenarios and delivery options
  (different devices)
• Create customized template libraries – Respond to your organizations’ specific learning needs

• Reduce time and cost related to learning content production.
• Rapidly create large amounts of content, without sacrificing quality. A template-based approach ensures ease of use, since no programming skills are required.
• Ensure rapid, consistent and professional content creation.
• Improve courses and learning programs by tracking user performance, and how users navigate the content.
• Respond to learners’ personal requirements and preferences.
• The international standards-based approach enables delivery on different learning platforms, such as mobile devices.
• Localization functionalities enable the production of large amounts of content in different languages, with full quality and style consistency.

This learning object content model is ideal for non-technical users, who work with the content library in conjunction with the eXact learning LCMS technology. The Flash content models allow the planning and development of high quality, interactive and multimedia learning content.

The latest version of eXact learning solutions’ Flash-based content models introduces several enhancements and changes, mainly concerning runtime performance and support for new Adobe Flash versions.

This content model family, used with the powerful desktop authoring tool eXact learning Packager and Online Editor, enables subject matter experts (SMEs) and novice users to collaboratively work with instructional designers (IDs), expert users and the rest of the organization on the same platform for consistent quality and faster time to market. When used with Online Editor these content models provide you with full rapid authoring capabilities to dramatically improve the training effectiveness.

HTML models allow the creation of HTML contents as a sequence of pages, with the ability to include a set of content information on various levels of complexity and the use of an intuitive WYSIWYG editor to organize them. Pages are logically organized in chapters that can be grouped in paragraphs.
