IMC Content Studio
IMC Content Studio is an educational authoring system, especially the production of content for e-learning areas such as MOOCs. The program is developed and distributed by IMC AG, a German company based in Saarbrücken. The software is used by college and university teachers in adult education and continuing education, in particular at occupational training institutions such as Corporate Universities.[1]
Interface and operation
[edit | edit source]As is common with authoring systems, the users are usually not software experts.[2] Therefore, authoring software programs are designed to be intuitive and easily understood.[1] The interface of IMC Content Studio resembles the design of Microsoft products.[3] One example is the ribbon, used in Microsoft Office since 2007 and Windows 8. The program allows the import of Microsoft PowerPoint templates and slides.
Beside producing content for e-learning, the software can be used to design graphic novels, interactive books and presentations. In addition to visual content, the program offers the option of producing audio-content via speech synthesis.[4]
Software
[edit | edit source]The software is based on HTML 5,[5] which allows it to run on personal computers and also on tablets and smartphones.[6][7][8]
The program is compliant with the SCORM standard drawn up by the Pentagon authority ADL for e-learning, as well as with the newer standard PENS of the AICC Committee, jointly developed by the European and US aviation industry.[9]
The software interface is available in more than 30 languages.
The usage range varies from basic training, often with multiple choice tests, up to complex MOOCs at Corporate Universities.
