Overview

 

We wish you a colorful 2009


The closing year has been extraordinarily multi-faceted for Comartis. Not only have we embarked on very interesting and innovative projects with an increasing international focus, but we have also chronicled a significantly rising number of contracts. It seems to be proven that the economic crisis has quickened e-Learning. Internationally, management now places a higher value on the planning of training requirements, on competence management, and on the assessment of training programs.

The Comartis team is looking forward to an exciting 2009 and wishes all customers and readers quiet and relaxing holidays and success for the New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Glædelig Jul og Godt Nytår Buon Natale e Felice Anno God Jul Og Godt Nyttår God Jul Och Gott Nytt År Joyeux Noël et heureuse année Hyvää joulua ja Onnellista uutta vuotta Vrolijk Kerstfeest en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches neues Jahr Feliz Natal e prospero Ano Novo Yeni yilinizi kutlar, saglik ve basarilar dileriz Feliz Navidad y un prospero Año Nuevo

From December 3rd to 5th, 2008, Comartis presented their i-qbox Human Performance Suite at the Online Educa for the fifth year in succession. During three days, the international e-Learning community met in Berlin to exchange innovations and experiences across country and business sector boundaries.

With more than 2,000 participants from many nations, the previous year’s visitor count has again been topped. Comartis demonstrated the latest version (5.4) of the i-qbox Human Performance Suite to an international audience. In the context of the conference, Omar Lahyani, CEO of Comartis, presented his extraordinarily well-attended speech "Testing in Turbulent Times", which focused on the importance and the benefits of assessment measurement especially in economically challenging times.

In order to train the numerous service providers, resellers and internal employees in the use of F-Secure products, and to keep everyone up to date with the latest developments and innovations, F-Secure relies on the i-qbox Human Performance Suite e-Learning solution.

Within the i-qbox, the training data is managed centrally for all users. Role profiles are defined for service providers, resellers and internal employees to display different features of the learning management system to each group. In this way, the i-qbox can be tailored to fit diverse users, who then see different facets of the i-qbox, such as menu navigation, reports, self-registration etc, depending on their individual needs.

Reach Your Aim Quickly and Easily
With the Excel-Friendly i-qbox

As a free addition to the new release, Comartis provides their customers with an Excel plug-in to bulk edit test questions. With this handy, easy-to-use tool, customers can connect directly from the spreadsheet via an i-qbox server to the learning object database, to import or export all essential question types, such as single and multiple choice as well as complex types like gap input (incl. numeric), pulldown, drag and drop, text category choice and custom answer types.

The Excel plug-in is not only very helpful for the mass import/export of questions and extensive editing of question attributes (author, associated test, etc.), it also simplifies the creation of language versions for translation services who prefer to receive their text input data in Excel format.

The import plug-in of the i-qbox is compatible with Excel 2003 and all versions above.

Comartis way - the Excel-lent way!
