eXact learning solutions releases HarvestRoad Hive Digital Repository Control Panel for Moodle 2
HarvestRoad Hive Control Panel brings Hive right into the Moodle interface.
eXact learning solutions has announced the release of
HarvestRoad Hive DR Control Panel for the Moodle 2 Learning
Management System. HarvestRoad Hive Control Panel brings the most
important features of the HarvestRoad Hive Digital Repository
directly to Moodle 2 users, without ever leaving the Moodle
environment.
Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of eXact learning solutions, Australia,
explained: "For many years, Moodle users have been able to build
courses using learning materials stored inside the HarvestRoad Hive
Digital Repository. With the advent of Moodle 2, a brand new way of
accessing external repositories has been unified and
standardised.
"With the release of the HarvestRoad Hive Control Panel for Moodle
2, users can now locate and view repository content, add new
content and make changes to existing content all within the Moodle
interface - and all under the control of HarvestRoad Hive's
built-in security system.
"Moodle users will find the Control Panel familiar and easy to use
as it integrates seamlessly with the Moodle interface, reducing the
learning curve and bringing the power of HarvestRoad Hive with the
minimum time outlay."
HarvestRoad Hive Control Panel for Moodle 2 complements the Moodle
File Picker Plugin for HarvestRoad Hive, allowing course managers
to link seamlessly to learning materials inside the
repository.
Mr Cardinali added: "To students, learning objects appear to come
straight from Moodle but, behind the scenes, HarvestRoad Hive is
managing and delivering the content on Moodle's behalf. Information
managers and power users benefit from the full power of HarvestRoad
Hive's collaboration, version control, copyright tracking, sharing
and reuse capabilities, but that sophistication is hidden from
users who just want to get on with learning.
"This development complements other eXact learning solutions'
modules for online and mobile learning content authoring
environments, such as the eXact LCMS and the eXact Packager
authoring tool. Together, they enable Moodle authors to produce
single source, multi channel, XML and rich media-based learning
materials that enhance the Moodle experience."
