XStream RapidShare™ LMS

XStream RapidShare™ LMS Features and Benefits (At a Glance...)

• Hosted or Non-Hosted Solution - XStream RapidShare LMS is available as a cost-effective hosted service solution (which minimizes total cost of ownership and accelerates deployment time for quick realization of benefits) or as a non-hosted perpetual license offering.
• Hierarchical administration capabilities (with comprehensive security) - Customize and organize the use of the LMS by creating multiple organizational units ( with complete security for the LMS data/content within each organizational unit) . Each organizational unit can contain its own users/groups, designated administrators, assigned content matter/events, user rights, etc.
• Decentralized administration capabilities (with comprehensive security) - Control the access and user rights of each administrator. Each administrator may have full access to all aspects of the LMS or only partial access to certain elements within the LMS. In addition, each administrator has defined rights that control the type of functions the administrator can perform at each level.
• SSL Security - The LMS can be made accessible using either the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. The HTTPS protocol provides SSL security using 128-bit encryption, providing a completely secure environment for all transactions, including file uploads/downloads.
• Management of Learning Content - XStream RapidShare LMS works with XStream's RapidBuilder, RapidExam, Performance Analyzer, and RapidGuide technologies. The LMS includes full capabilities for registering, tracking, and reporting on learning content files created with RapidBuilder, RapidExam, Performance Analyzer, and RapidGuide. Administrators may register learning content files in the system and assign the content to users and groups. When users subsequently access their assigned learning content, their progress and scoring data is completely tracked and recorded by the system. Administrators may generate a wide variety of reports based on the recorded data.
   
  Various parameters and settings may be configured for each learning content matter. These include Learning Objective (information about the objective of the content matter), Duration (estimated length of time required to complete the content matter), Enable Credits (option to enable or disable the use of credits for the content matter), Enable Fees (option to enable or disable the use of fees for the content matter), Allow Guest Access (option to make the content matter available to new self-registered users), and Keywords (option to specify additional descriptive keywords for search purposes).
   
  Capabilities are also provided to optionally define the Start Date and Expiry Date for each learning content matter. The Start Date represents the date before which the content is not available. The Expiry Date represents the date after which the content is not available.
• SCORM v1.2 Compliance - XStream RapidShare LMS is SCORM v1.2 compliant. It supports registration, tracking, and reporting on SCORM v1.2 courses (created with RapidBuilder, RapidExam, Performance Analyzer, RapidSVG, and other third-party SCORM-authoring tools).
• Scheduled Event Capabilities - XStream RapidShare LMS includes capabilities for scheduling, tracking, and reporting on Offline Events of all types, including instructor-led training sessions, meetings, workshops, seminars, conferences, trade shows, etc. Administrators may track the number of seats available for each scheduled event and enable registration and cancellation of registrations. Administrators may also send an event registration URL (via email or using some other method) to enable users to self-register for the event using the URL. Other capabilities include alternate scheduled event registrations, event roster generation (along with other reports), and the ability to change an event's status (open, completed, or cancelled).
• Self-Registration Capabilities - Users without accounts are able to self-register in the system by creating their own accounts online. An account creation confirmation e-mail (containing login credentials) is automatically sent to a user after he/she registers. Administrators can define which content matter is automatically assigned to self-registered users as well as determine whether self-registered users are automatically assigned as members of one or more existing groups.
• Required Learning Paths/Curriculums - Administrators may define learning paths containing assigned content matter/events that must be completed by the user.
• Recommended Learning Curriculums - Users may also access supplementary assigned content matter/events not included as part of required learning paths.
• Learning Catalogs - Administrators may create defined learning catalogs containing groupings of online and offline content matter. For each learning catalog created, administrators can also define if assigned users can directly access the online content or if they need to request access to it. Access requests are made via means of notifications that are fulfilled by administrators assigning the user to the requested content matter. The user then receives a confirmation message stating that the content matter has been assigned to the user.
• Prerequisites - Administrators may establish prerequisites for each content matter (including conditions such as progress, time taken, score, and attendance at the content matter level) before a user may launch/register for the content matter. This controls the conditions that must be met by the user before being able to launch/register for a content matter.
• E-mail Notification Capabilities - E-mail reminders (i.e., reminder messages automatically sent to participants before the content matter is taken) and e-mail notifications (i.e., results automatically sent to participants after the content matter has been taken) can be configured for learning paths and each type of content matter within XStream RapidShare LMS. Administrators can configure the e-mail messages for each type of content matter separately and define who has access to the different e-mail reminders/notifications that have been configured.
   
  Other features available for e-mail reminders/notifications include the following:
  • Multiple e-mail reminders/notifications (assigned to different users and groups) can be created for the same content matter.
  • Each e-mail reminder may be addressed (with defined "To", "CC", and "BCC" settings) to one or more manager users.
  • Start and stop dates may be defined for each e-mail reminder.
  • Results reports containing exam scores, course progress (for learning paths and content matter), and event attendance may be sent out to respective participants and assigned managers.
