Incorporating Client Feedback in Development

WBT Systems developed these new features based on the feedback of current clients, who were offered the opportunity to provide input into the design and functionality. Commenting on this process, WBT Systems Chief Technology Officer, Linda Bowers said,

Working together with our clients to define the design of the new features was enjoyable and enlightening. Ultimately it helps us to ensure that TopClass LMS provides a more relevant and useful experience for both learners and administrators. We look forward to working closely with our clients on future updates to TopClass.”

Other key examples of how TopClass 10 LMS provides a comprehensive and flexible platform for the changing education needs of modern organizations include:

 

Experience API Support – Also known as xAPI or TinCan, Experience API support allows learners to record external learning activities they have completed on their user profile, transcript, and to share outside the LMS to their social learning networks. Administrators benefit from deeper insight on learner progress and performance, and reliable course delivery on the widest range of devices.

Streamlined User Experience – A modern, clean interface for the user management menu and new integrated product tours streamline the setup process to make getting started with TopClass even easier for learning administrators. The new at-a-glance layout makes it easy to find what you need to set up groups, users and courses; providing helpful resources at your fingertips.



For those wanting to see a live demonstration of the new TopClass 10, WBT Systems will be exhibiting at the ASAE 2016 Annual Meeting and Exposition in Salt Lake City from August 14-15. Attendees are encouraged to stop by booth 515 to see TopClass 10 in action.
