Upside Learning Releases the All-New Upside2Go
Upside2Go’s new version, touted as providing the best performance support on the go, has recently been released. The newly added SCORM 1.2 support enables training administrators to run SCORM 1.2-complaint courses developed using external authoring tools capable of publishing SCORM 1.2-compliant mobile content – in HTML or HTML5. Apart from this, the new version also provides external HTML course support, offering greater flexibility to training administrators to choose from a wide range of external HTML courses according to their training needs.
From the UI perspective, Upside2Go dons a crisp dashboard and a customizable interstitial screen. On the security front, it is now equipped to provide secured (HTTPS) communication.
Other new features in Upside2Go’s new version include
- Learning Plan: provides the ability to bundle and deliver various learning elements in a well-organized and streamlined manner. In this, all the learning elements assigned to a topic are grouped under one learning plan, which learners can access with ease and least confusion.
- File Manager: allows learners to manage their individual device space by deleting unwanted, space-consuming resources.
- Analytics: With support from Flurry, training administrators can generate analytics and easily keep track of user device data like type and version of the OS used for learning, frequency of app access, and the time spent on it.
- New OS Support: iOS 6.0 (also supports 4.0 and 5.0); BlackBerry 7 (also supports 5 and 6); Android: Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) (also supports Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3))
- Interstitial Screen: optional interstitial screen can be customized to include text, video, image, audio, the End User License Agreement (EULA), text and video, or text and image.
