OpenSesame http://www.opensesame.com/, an open marketplace for elearning, announced today that it has developed an elearning standards-compatible video player that unlocks millions of hours of high-quality video content for use in enterprise learning management systems (LMS).
The new video player enables content owners to easily convert their videos into professional elearning courses delivered and tracked in learning management systems. As a result, millions of videos on internet sites such as YouTube are now convertible into sharable content object reference model (SCORM) elearning courses. With the OpenSesame video player, training managers can now simply deploy existing videos into their LMS and track their employees' professional skills development.
"Our new tool will enable companies to track videos just like they track the rest of their elearning library," said Josh Blank, co-founder and general manager, OpenSesame. "Making videos trackable as elearning courses gives our customers more ways to meet their learning and development goals."
