eXact Online Editor further enhances the content authoring capabilities of eXact LCMS by enabling rapid and collaborative content authoring in any organization that needs consistent quality with faster time-to-market.

Our customers tell us that the most successful learning projects come from team effort and coordination. Therefore, an authoring platform must offer different levels of capabilities and interfaces to accommodate a diverse team of authors with various skills and needs.

eXact Online Editor enables subject matter experts, as well as novice users that have little familiarity with learning authoring tools, to work collaboratively with instructional designers, expert users and the rest of the organization on the same platform, templates, workflow, content revisions and collaboration tools.

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

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

This complete authoring environment includes content review, revision control, custom workflows, project collaboration, and multi-language production, among other features, all offered by eXact LCMS.
