Logical Operations, the world’s leading provider of information technology instructor-led courseware, is pleased to announce the introduction of several new and exciting features of the Logical Operations CHOICE® learning management system in the upcoming Spring 2016 release of CHOICE.
“In building Logical Operations CHOICE®, we’ve put our emphasis on the instructor and how to teach and manage in a modern classroom environment where students and instructors may be remote from each other and may not even learn in the same time zones,” remarked Bill Rosenthal, CEO of Logical Operations. “As the cost and capability of remote learning technology has come down, it now allows us to create a learning experience – even when the instructor and students are remote – that delivers on the high-quality promise of learning from an expert, and avoids many of the pitfalls of pure e-learning where students work independent of an expert to help them learn,” added Rosenthal.
The Spring 2016 release of CHOICE will include:
- Collaboration Enhancements – Discussion Boards within the each course allow students and instructors to collaborate remotely across location and time. Discussion Boards provide an outlet for open discussion available to all students in a course. This feature complements the existing private messaging capabilities available between instructors and students.
- Cloud Locker – Students can load assignment content to their Cloud Locker and share with their instructor and other students taking the course.
- Enhanced Course Messaging – Provides instructors with the additional capability to message students each time they log into the system or enter a course, and under a variety of other circumstances.
- Cloud eBook Reader – Students may read their course materials while online and any notes/highlights they make are saved to the student account in the cloud so they are always available no matter what platform the students use, whether it is Windows, Android, or iOS.
- Improvements to CourseFIT - CourseFIT, our complimentary placement tool for students to use when deciding which class level they should be registering for, has been expanded with new capabilities, including the CyberSAFE Readiness Test. The CyberSAFE Readiness Test is a complimentary new tool that can be used to assess employees’ preparedness against cyber threats.
“We purposely built the Logical Operations CHOICE® learning management system to bring these new technologies to the instructor-led classroom, and are excited about the introduction of even more capabilities in our Spring 2016 release. It will bring a new level of teaching capability to instructors and enable even better instances of remote learning,” said Mike Hoyt, VP of Platforms and Publishing, Logical Operations.
