(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 10, 2010 ) BONITA SPRINGS, FL – Now, more than ever, students are looking for a more engaging, more interactive experience in the courses and tools offered by academic institutions. And, it’s not just traditional students who desire a collaborative learning environment; adult learners, distance learning students and executives alike are looking for improved, flexible and more effective means of learning. As social learning tools grow in education, a trend has risen up that looks at these tools as not just social, but also learning opportunities.
Interactyx Limited has effectively integrated the traditional learning management system (LMS) with tools similar to Facebook® and LinkedIn® to create a powerful academic eLearning solution called TOPYX®. This easy-to-use social eLearning software as a service (SaaS) solution allows academic institutions or departments within these institutions to provide the eLearning 2.0 environment its students are looking for.
“The learning environment and collaboration tools are critical elements of your educational offering,” said Alfred R. Novas, Chief Executive Officer of Interactyx Limited. “Today’s academic institutions cannot afford to stand to the side and completely miss this opportunity to engage our students. In fact, we have seen thought leading departments within institutions leave their legacy LMSs behind and choose TOPYX.”
Just like Facebook® offers social interaction with people from across town or around the globe, academic eLearning web 2.0 connects and engages students from across campus or across the world. Specific communities and a variety of community tools empower students to connect with their peers, through tools they are already familiar.
“TOPYX pulls together all the great things about community and creates a learning environment that’s unmatched in the classroom,” said Novas. “In one centralized online location, students can access and discuss presentations, videos, forums, study guides, topical blogs…any time, day or night, no matter where they are.”
Whether implemented for complete online courses or as an important component in a blended learning environment, a departmentÂ’s or institutionÂ’s academic eLearning tools need to be comprehensive, contemporary, easy to use and fit within defined goals and budgets.
“Being able to easily manage required courses to stay on top of changing curriculum needs, and to create a new channel to help our medical professionals share ideas and expertise, led us to choose TOPYX as our eLearning software solution," said Dr. Peter J. Smith MD, MA, Fellowship Director, Section of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at the University of Chicago Medical Center. "TOPYX is ahead of the market in providing the resources we are asking for, and does so with an affordable, straight-forward manner. We are excited about the possibilities ahead of us.”
