Giunti Labs runs a joint learn eXact LCMS and Hive DR user group
Users of the world's leading digital content repository and marketplace solution, HarvestRoad Hive™, and of a leading online and mobile learning content management system, learn eXact™, will share their knowledge and experience when they gather in Sestri Levante, North West Italy, on 21st and 22nd October, for the first joint Hive and learn eXact user group since Giunti Labs acquired the HarvestRoad Hive technology at the beginning of the year.
Both user bases will convene at Giunti Labs' headquarters in Sestri Levante, to discuss and examine fully fledged, open service orientated solutions - including the use of rich media, mobile and virtual learning content production, management and rendering toolkits - to provide open and interoperable digital repository services.
Hosted by leading learning and mobile content management solution provider, Giunti Labs, the first 'Hive & learn eXact Joint User Group' conference - 'Opening repositories; releasing content' will examine market trends as well as discuss key business needs and how they are being addressed using Giunti Labs' solutions. Delegates will see how Hive and learn eXact users can produce - from an existing learning infrastructure - advanced multi-device, multi-channel and multi-platform authoring, management and delivery in one click.
The event is sponsored by Giunti Labs' partners Promethean, Cegos, Plateau, Cisco and IBM. These companies will also be presenting their achievements and offerings extending Giunti Labs' solutions into the corporate training and mobile learning fields.
"In addition, a series of workshops, on both HarvestRoad Hive and learn eXact will introduce product and module roadmaps and release plans," explained Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of Giunti Labs. "This includes a preview of the new learn eXact and Hive SOA services, as well as the first modular integration of Giunti Labs' flagship and the award winning eXact Packager and eXact Mobile solutions for the Hive Digital Repository infrastructure."
Delegates also have the opportunity to join the Digital Educational Content Marketplaces (DECOM 2008) conference on 23rd October. This conference, which is also being held in Sestri Levante, debates the future of the educational publishing industry - in particular, its ability to adapt to, and exploit fully, a new generation learning content production, management, sharing and distribution models
The results of delegates' deliberations at DECOM 2008 will be summarised in 'The Sestri DECOM Declaration'. This document will be presented to the EU Commission as a set of suggested policy actions to support a transition towards digital content marketplaces for Educational Publishing in Europe.
