KP-Learner Manager™ Features

Special offer to new and existing KP Learner Manager Enterprise X users! We've created your first course for you - Introduction to Windows 7. Include this as a part of your training - for free - for your customers / employees / students / clients! Source code can also be purchased so you can customize the course!

KnowledgePresenter® Professional comes with its own Learning Management System to allow you to deliver and track courses and users (Standard Edition comes with KnowledgePresenter - Enterprise Edition available seperately. Differences between the two versions are outlined below).

This LMS is designed to run on Windows servers (IIS), and by default, connects to an Access database. However, using ADO, and changing connection strings, you can connect to other ADO databases (tested with Microsoft SQL).

Note

Lessons created with KnowledgePresenter Professional will work with any third party SCORM compliant Learning Management System. KP Learner Manager generates proprietary course files (basically an index of lessons) that cannot necessarily be used with other Learning Management Systems.

KP Learner Manager can now export to a SCORM 1.2 compliant course that can be used in other third party LMS systems.

KP Learner Manager will be able to import SCORM compliant lessons from third parties, as well as open complete course files or manifests (a series of lessons) created in other Learning Management Systems.
