New Content-Partnership with iLearn Solutions:
iTest Assessments and iLearn Objects for any LMS!

iLearn Solutions (Canada) and Comartis (Switzerland) have signed a partnership to bring added value to enterprises in the field of human capital development.

iLearn Solutions is a leading provider of employee development content and talent management consulting services designed to maximize employee productivity. iLearn Solutions is known for its comprehensive catalog of Ready-to-Deploy iTest Assessments and iLearn Objects for use with corporate Learning Management Systems. The catalog of over 500 items spans a broad range of business, technology, and leadership development areas that are key to any organization's sustainable success. The combination of tests and learning objects greatly facilitates career and job competency evaluation and development within any organization.

iTest Assessments allow careful evaluation of skill strengths and gaps in specific skill areas. iTest Assessments can be used as a pre- or post-learning evaluation of needed skills, depending on the implementation objective.

iLearn Objects efficiently walk learners through the most salient elements of skill items. This begins with essential knowledge and conceptual components and finishes with applied skill learning elements. These elements are designed to effectively enhance the learner's job-related competencies in relation to each skill area.

iLearn Content conforms to SCORM, AICC, QTI, Section 508, IMS and HR-XML and flawlessly integrates with the i-qbox Human Performance Suite, as well as other compliant Learning Management Systems.

According to Danny Larsen, President of iLearn Solutions: "The integration of our widely accepted learning and assessment content into the equally well-proven Comartis i-qbox platform adds significant value to current and prospective customers of Comartis and iLearn Solutions!"

Reto Schilliger, Vice President Marketing and Sales of Comartis adds: "It hardly makes sense to develop custom content for standard skill areas. The content of iLearn helps our customers to focus on identifying skill gaps and to fill exactly those gaps and nothing more with affordable training. This finally is what focused and cost-effective training is all about!"

Comartis Corporation at the CeBIT for the First Time:
Interesting Contacts with Concrete Potential

In the beginning of March Comartis exhibited at the CeBIT in Hanover for the first time. The largest IT fair worldwide provided a special e-Learning area in hall 6 where Comartis was present during the six days with their own booth. 

Without specific advertisement, a large number of attendees visited the Comartis booth. Besides potential customers with concrete projects, also a number of companies from the East and Asia interested in a partnership were among the visitors. 

Administering all requests and tracking the new ideas will definitely keep Comartis busy for quite a time.

Working with Templates for any Purpose

Depending on the topic, online tests, surveys and trainings demand very different designs for the player. More space for images or text may be required or the player buttons need to be adjusted for specific reasons.

To provide tests, surveys and trainings a number of templates can be managed in the i-qbox. The Comartis team efficiently creates those templates after a briefing for various browsers. Assigning a template to content is done when the numerous play mode settings are determined or, even easier, when a saved play mode is chosen. 

By the way: i-qbox content does not necessarily have to appear in a new window. For instance, an i-qbox survey can be presented in a frame of an internal or external training website.

Comartis way - way more than just standard!
