Dear all
an increasing number of educational programmes is offered through online and e-learning formats and platforms. In case you are involved (or plan to be) in the management, using or developing of features and metrics for these systems please continue to read.
According to the latest research from Frost & Sullivan there will be a 6% year-on-year decrease of costs per user of learning management systems in the next three years. The market is still far from reaching its maturity stage in Europe and it is booming in Africa but the majority of providers being in North America there is a coming wave of further changes, disruptions and new features in the provision of systems and services for e-learning that may require your attention.
Open Data Assurance by B. Longo (me) offers a service called Computer Based Assessment (CBA): we design and develop compelling computer based tests for assessment, self assessment and also for edutainment purposes for any platform.
This service includes review and change proposals for existing applications in respect of
- infrastructural aspects (cyber security risks, ROI, commoditisation of Learning Management Systems features)
- integration of content management systems that have been developed through different, separate platforms (in house or cloud based "silos") and
- user experiences (mobile computing above all).
The proposals takes into account evidence I gathered over twenty years of experience with e-learning developments.
There is an opportunity to arrange a free presentation of this service with up to 1 hour of briefing meeting without any obligation - this offer is valid until the end of June 2015.
During the free briefing meeting we usually talk about:
- general criteria to assess cyber security and infrastructural requirements for e-Learning platforms and content management systems (Cybercrime Risks)
- assurance criteria and methods for conversion of paper based exams into interactive computer based applications: how we works, some examples of versioning of instructional materials for different channels / media
- metrics: how to update and review also marking schemes and to develop new ones using intelligence gathered from analytics
- testing and implementation through in house and hosted / cloud based platforms.
I use such introductory meetings as briefing meetings as well because it is usually the way in which we productively start a collaboration.
A brief general description of the service is available at

Any question and for an informal discussion don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for sharing with your colleagues!
