      <title>Upside Learning Partners With Axial Training to Deliver Construction Induction Training in Australia</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Upside Learning, a recognized leader in training outsourcing, custom eLearning development & LMS solutions, has successfully developed a construction induction training course for Axial Training, Australia, a leading training & recruitment services company, aimed at ensuring safety awareness and protocols.</p><p>Pune, Maharashtra -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/23/2010 --   With a view to ensuring the safety of construction workers and to make them aware of the imperative construction safety guidelines and processes, Upside Learning, in association with Axial Training, has successfully developed a construction induction training course.<br />
<br />
A general OHS induction course providing basic knowledge about relevant laws, common hazards and risks likely to be encountered on construction sites, the aim of this course was to serve as a pre-requisite to undertaking any construction-related task on a site. The online version of the course was already available, however Axial Training was keen on offering eLearning courses that were high on engagement and interaction. <br />
<br />
Keeping in line with Axial Training&apos;s requirement, Upside Learning designed the course so as to offer the learners situations showing various activities being carried out (correctly and incorrectly). Learners are needed to identify whether or not the actions are correctly implemented, what specific aspects are right or wrong, what should have been done to ensure safety, etc. Inclusion of simple scenarios allows learners to apply OHS concepts and guidelines in hypothetical situations. The course also has full audio narration closely synched with on-screen text and visuals. <br />
<br />
Few courses have also been created to bring about awareness of various legal requirements as defined by government authorities.<br />
<br />
Sandra Elliott, Learning and Development Manager at Axial Training said, "Axial&apos;s business objectives centered on providing an accredited safety-training course for the Construction Industry. The course is a mandatory requirement for any employee requiring access or employment to a construction site in Australia. At Axial our goal was to ensure all learners irrespective of language and or literacy levels could attempt and gain knowledge in the course."        <br />
<br />
Amit Garg, Director of Content Solution at Upside Learning, commented, "With our previous experience of designing safety courses, we could easily identify Axial Training&apos;s unique requirements and challenges. We have taken steps to ensure that the course is both, engaging and intuitive to the learners." <br />

      <title>Brandon Hall Research Lists Upsidelms As One of The Five Emerging Lmss to Watch in CLO Magazine</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Upside Learning, a recognized leader in training outsourcing, custom eLearning development & LMS solutions, is a proud to announce that its flagship, multi-award winning Learning Management System, UpsideLMS, has been listed amongst the top five emerging Learning Management Systems (LMSs) by Brandon Hall Research. The listing has been done as a part of CLO magazine’s article on LMSs in the July 2010 issue.</p><p>Pune, Maharashtra -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/17/2010 --   After shining at the 2009 Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Technology Awards with 1 Gold and 2 Silver, UpsideLMS, Upside Learning&apos;s flagship Learning Management System, has been named as one of the top five emerging LMSs in Chief Learning Officer magazine&apos;s July 2010 edition, by the chairman of Brandon Hall Research.<br />
<br />
The article&apos;s theme was well summarized in the opening paragraph which said, "New learning management systems arrive on the scene almost daily. These technologies include both key functionalities and features you expect to find as well as additional capabilities that, in some cases, go above and beyond those found in some of the best-known pre-existing systems. Here are five up-and-coming LMS providers to watch."<br />
<br />
UpsideLMS&apos; name figuring amongst the top 5 LMSs is no surprise. Having won Silver in Best Advance in Social Learning Technology from Brandon Hall Research, the system&apos;s ability to leverage social learning components and mold them in accordance with traditional learning methodology makes it truly a class apart. This is brought about by a unique social learning framework that lets users access social tools from within the LMS in a robust and secure environment. This framework provides a unique way to capture various types of knowledge that are prevalent in the enterprise. It goes beyond the conventional view of courseware, assignments and assessment, to become a system fundamental to an enterprise and its employees&apos; success. <br />
<br />
 "Making it to the watch list of One of Five Emerging Learning Management Systems by Brandon Hall – a well-respected independent eLearning research leader - is a great honor for us. This recognition serves as a testimony to the company&apos;s commitment of delivering effective learning technology solutions to the global marketplace. UpsideLMS clearly stands out in the LMS community with its ability to provide integrated social learning with more &apos;conventional&apos; formal learning.

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Upside Learning, a recognized leader in training outsourcing, custom eLearning development & LMS solutions, has successfully completed eLearning development for ViSteps, a renowned training company in Australia, to deliver online SQL training to learners across the globe. </p><p>Pune, Maharashtra -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/01/2010 --   With a view to providing rapid, step-by-step skill development for usability, practicality, experience and success, Upside Learning, in association with ViSteps, has successfully completed an online SQL training programme for SQL aspirants. This programme is open to students and learners across the globe. Visteps will deliver all training programmes via its subsidiary SQLSteps. (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.sqlsteps.com" href="http://www.sqlsteps.com">http://www.sqlsteps.com</a> )<br />
 <br />
The objective of the project was to improve SQL knowledge and skills of the students, and provide them with an opportunity to practice through a simulated environment. With inputs from Visteps, who have a deep understanding of SQL, Upside Learning has developed courses that engage and challenge learners, ultimately giving them the skills which will help them to move forward with their SQL projects and careers.<br />
<br />
In addition to the conventional eLearning components, Upside Learning has used demos and simulations. Flash and Captivate were majorly used to create the interactions so as to engage and stimulate the learner effectively. The Captivate simulations have both, the &apos;show me&apos; and &apos;try me&apos;, approaches for the learners, while Flash has been employed to explain the theoretical sections. All the modules consist of interactive simulations that enable the learners to practice and refine their skills further. <br />
<br />
"The development process adopted by Upside Learning was smooth and speedy. Also, the team was pro-active in answering queries and suggesting effective solutions. We are very pleased with our partnership and look forward to a long association ahead.", said Shawn Collins, Managing Director of ViSteps.<br />
<br />
Amit Garg, Director of Content Solution at Upside Learning, commented, "ViSteps had a clear objective of creating SQL programmes that were not just engaging and challenging, but capable of equipping the learners with skills for succeeding in their careers. We are confident that our programmes will be able to deliver on ViStep&apos;s expectations and cater to their growing training needs."<br />
<br />
ViSteps has also employed Upside learning&apos;s multi award-winning Learning Management platform, UpsideLMS, to deliver and manage all their training courses. <br />
<br />
About ViSteps<br />
SQLSteps was started by a group of professional SQL Server Instructors who could not find a decent and affordable online training solution for their own students. <br />
<br />
Armed with a deep understanding of the process of rapid Step-by-Step skill development, we have developed courses that will engage and challenge you; ultimately giving you the skills you need to move forward with your SQL projects and careers. <br />
<br />
Usability, Practicality, Experience and Success; these are words that we take seriously. Every decision we make is based around them.<br />

Upside LMS not only addressed these requirements effectively, but also provided customization options with extensive re-branding features, enabling Marshall ACM&apos;s administrator to setup new sites for the customers inline with their company branding.<br />
 <br />
UpsideLMS&apos; standard version&apos;s 3-tier organization - Site Manager, Client Manager (for each account portal created) and a Learner profile,  fitted very well to MACM&apos;s needs where an account portal was setup for each new customer and the MACM administrator got access to the Site Manager area.  <br />

<br />

<br />
Marshall ACM has been using a custom developed LMS to support its eLearning for its large number of customers and increasingly it was posing technical and support challenges. eLearning courses were tightly coupled with the LMS and each page of the course was being served from the database as most old-age LMS used to do. Moreover the lack of SCORM and AICC compliance also posed challenged to scale up and host a variety of eLearning for the customers. <br />

      <title>Upside Learning Launches Layar for Pune – First of Its Kind in India</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Pune, Maharashtra -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/27/2010 --   Upside Learning is thrilled to launch Pune Layar - an augmented reality application for mobile phones that will let users find significant landmarks in and around Pune city. Currently available for mobile devices that run Android version 1.5 and above or the Apple iPhone 3GS, this is the first layer made specifically for any Indian city.<br />
<br />
Layar is an augmented reality browser that helps users interact with their location using their phones and receive value added information. Upside Learning has constantly strived to address the multifarious platforms in the technology domain, mobile being one of the most important ones. It is this very commitment, backed by support of its Innovation team that has lead to the development of the Pune Layar. <br />
<br />
The Pune Layar allows users to experience an innovative way to explore the city using their mobile phones by helping them find significant landmarks like museums, forts, monuments; buildings &amp; landmarks; restaurants; places of worship and much more. Users can learn about the Point of Interest&apos;s rating (popularity among users), its distance from the user&apos;s current location, time of opening/closing (if applicable) and entry fee (if applicable). These Points of Interests (POIs) are nothing but various landmarks that hold some significance for tourists and the general public alike. Pune Layar connects the various POIs to their respective Wikipedia pages and websites (if available), allowing users to access more information. It also provides users directions to the POI from their current location using Google Maps, just at the click of a button.<br />
<br />
Besides this, to help this application evolve and include more POIs over a period of time, Upside Learning has also created a facility for users to add their favorite landmark through a webpage (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.upsidelayar.com/process/addpoi.php" href="http://www.upsidelayar.com/process/addpoi.php">http://www.upsidelayar.com/process/addpoi.php</a>), using a smart-phone or a desktop computer. Users can also give their feedback through a Feedback page (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.upsidelayar.com/process/feedback.php" href="http://www.upsidelayar.com/process/feedback.php">http://www.upsidelayar.com/process/feedback.php</a>). This will help the company to further enhance the performance of the application as per users&apos; suggestions. <br />
<br />
One of the important aspects of this application is that it is free .*using the Layar application may incur data charges, please check with your provider*. By no means will the company charge users for searching and locating places, reading information, adding POIs etc. <br />
<br />
The use of Layar or other Augmented Reality application in the field of eLearning could be profound. Upside Learning&apos;s focus is to use Layar in learning solutions and fully explore its application in performance support solutions.<br />
<br />
"We are quite excited to share this application with the world.  Developed first time for an Indian city it provides an opportunity to experience Pune city just like a local.", said Amit Garg, Director of Content Solutions at Upside Learning.<br />
<br />
"This is our first tryst with Layar and although, initially, the application seems high-ended demanding a lot of programming efforts, its development has actually been made a lot simpler by the Layar community. We hope that the Pune Layar helps people get timely and accurate information thereby making the exploration experience more enjoyable and convenient.", said Amar Jadhav, Member - Innovation Team at Upside Learning.<br />

      <title>Upside Learning Announces Mobile App Based Learning Solutions</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Upside Learning, a global provider of learning solutions and a recognized leader in training outsourcing, custom e-learning development & LMS solutions, is proud to announce a new addition to its product basket - Learning Solutions based on Mobile Applications.</p><p>Pune, Maharashtra -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/08/2010 --   Upside Learning has constantly strived to address the multifarious platforms in the technology space, mobile learning being one of the most important ones. The rise in the number of people using sophisticated mobile devices has only translated into a significant increase in demand for mobile applications based learning solutions. And catering to this demand is Upside Learning. With a robust support of Innovations &amp; New Product Development group, they have successfully designed and delivered a range of applications for the iPhone and Blackberry for some of their clients; and now have started Android development too. <br />
<br />
What makes this special is the fact that mobile devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated by the day and developing applications for these is far different from typical eLearning as is seen on desktop computers. This is because some of the new phones come with operating systems that allow for installation and removal of applications on the device - something relatively new for mobile devices.<br />
<br />
Upside Learning is happy to share the one such application for this popular platform which is freely available at the iTunes Store. This application, though not too fancy, and made only for sharing freely is a testimony to Upside Learning&apos;s technology acquaintance and designing capabilities. <br />
<br />
The app – called Soccer Quiz - is a simple quiz that challenges the user&apos;s knowledge about Soccer. Simple &amp; entertaining, this quiz is one of the &apos;easy to use&apos; games available on iTunes, and promises to entertain all soccer fans. <br />
<br />
While the Soccer Quiz is a rudimentary quiz application, Upside Learning is working on more complex and, richer, and diverse applications. <br />
