Original Press Release:



Matchett Group Unveils Pathlore LMS 6.5 - First LMS to Support PENS e-learning Standard



The new version of the Pathlore learning management suite (LMS version 6.5) is the first LMS to add support for the Package Exchange Notification System (PENS), an e-learning standard that allows content publishing interoperability between authoring tools, content management systems and learning management systems.

The Pathlore LMS will be demonstrated on Stand 6 at Learning Technologies exhibition at Olympia in London from 26-27 January 2005.

PENS is the result of a joint industry initiative led by Pathlore, Documentum, Macromedia and others with support from the Aviation Industry CBT (Computer-Based Training) Committee (AICC), an e-learning standards body and international association of training professionals.

Pathlore's recently announced alliance with EMC Corporation makes use of the newly created PENS specification - implemented using XLMS (eXtensible Learning Management Service), which is included in the latest LMS. This enables users to integrate EMC Documentum's Enterprise Content Management platform with Pathlore's learning management suite.

PENS allows customers to publish any type of content they find in EMC Documentum's Enterprise Content Management platform and turn it into material for, say, a training course, delivered by the LMS. The combination of XLMS, web services and PENS gives customers a powerful way to exchange data between their LMS and other enterprise applications.
