expert support for your distance and
blended learning programmes
Over the 10 years since its inception, CAPDM has been able to develop substantial production and delivery technologies, and to prove their commercial benefit with multiple clients. Originating from our work done in the technical publishing industry, these technologies include batch pagination engines that typeset 750 page professional quality academic textbooks in minutes, and online product generators that use the same single source masters to generate 3500 HTML file publication trees in seconds, to load into Blackboard or WebCT.
These highly productive new technologies are used to build content and feature rich tutoring and learning environments, custom to each programme, and personalised for each student or tutor.
They invalidate the cost-benefit of offshoring the production of programme materials, by driving up the productivity of local production teams. They also empower such teams with the capability to build and manage your future knowledge domains, key institutional assets that can represent your distinct contributions to future education.
They make investing in XML and other semantic learning standards affordable, and achieve this investment at less cost and complexity, more quickly and with better quality outputs, than with the traditional cottage-industry materials development methods.
