Site Promotes On-Demand, Open-Source Learning Management System Used by Training Companies and Departments to Deliver Custom Online Training Portals
SALINE, MI (March 10, 2010) - Latitude Learning LLC (www.latitudelearning.com) of Saline, MI has launched a marketing Web site for LatitudeLearning.com, the company’s online learning management system (LMS).
Training companies and in-house training departments use LatitudeLearning.com to provide their clients and employees with training on a broad range of business-related topics, and to track their trainees’ continuing education and certifications.
The new marketing Web site, www.latitudelearning.com, has been designed and developed by DesignHub, Inc. (http://www.design-hub.com/), a creative services and marketing firm also based in Saline. DesignHub worked with Latitude to plan and design the new site, write and edit its content, program its pages, and test and launch the site.
Over 1 Million Registered Users
The LatitudeLearning.com LMS was initially built for Global 50 companies. It is a scalable, robust, and highly functional on-demand, open-source LMS now available for training companies to provide effective training for their clients through the Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
The LatitudeLearning.com LMS today has over 1 million registered users. This ranks it among the top ten online training platforms.
The new marketing Web site for LatitudeLearning.com explains how prospective users can easily register for a free 45-day trial of the software, and customize the LMS to their own needs, preferences, and brand identities. Through this custom portal, a user can then resell to their clients, or provide to their employees, a library of over 3,000 training courses from more than 50 leading publishers, including SkillSoft, The Par Group, Coastal, and others. Over 75 Global Mindset courses are offered tuition-free.
After the free-trial period, the LatitudeLearning.com user can then officially activate their custom LMS portal for only $99 and pay as little as $1 per user per month for ongoing access, or they can pay per course registration. There is no upfront licensing cost.
Alternatively, users can license the open-source LMS software at the heart of LatitudeLearning.com for installation on their own internal servers.
The Latitude Learning System’s certification engine has flexible, performance-driven capabilities, and can integrate with the human resource (HR) management utilities of a user’s internally hosted enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, if needed, for tracking employees’ success in meeting learning and certification requirements.
Continuing paid use of LatitudeLearning.com by training firms and training departments can help recognized charities and other established non-profit organizations that offer training and education as key elements of the services they provide to their communities. Through Latitude’s Community Support Program, the company has pledged to provide services valued at 5% of all revenue generated by LatitudeLearning.com toward delivering free custom LMS portals to these organizations.
