These are pretty exciting times here at dominKnow as we get set roll out Claro, our latest web-based e-learning content authoring offering.

The excitement is coming from all directions. There are still lots of last minute to-dos as we prepare for our time at Learning Solutions 2011 next week, and of course there are always neat things happening with our development team.

The best source of excitement, though, is from clients who are seeing and using Claro for the first time.

A couple of weeks back I was showing Claro to a client with whom we've had a great relationship for many years.

I can't remember what exactly I was showing him, but half an hour into our web conference he said, "Wow. I could become an evangelist for Claro."

Now, that reaction is on the extreme end of the scale, but the positive feedback has been tremendous from everyone.

So, what's got everyone excited?

First, it's the ease of use and the very intuitive interface. Almost anyone can log into Claro and start working on an e-learning or m-learning course – and make it great.

Second, it's the range of authoring features all brought together in one place. Need to edit that image down a bit smaller? No problem – do it right in Claro. Need to record a screen capture video? No problem – do it right in Claro. Need to record video from your webcam? No problem – do it right in Claro. Need to quickly create a custom interaction? Need to quickly add an assessment with a video? Need to make your course work on a smart phone or iPad? Yep, you guessed it – make it in Claro. And it really is no problem.

Third, it's that while you're creating that awesome learning experience, you can also get others to help you on work on the same course. Or get that SME three times zones over to look at the page you've been working on by sending him a meeting invite and sharing your desktop. Or invite as many people as you need to review the course - and you can track all the typos and graphical issues they raise and track how you ended up resolving them all.

If you're attending Learning Solutions 2011 in Orlando next week, there's something more for you to get excited about. Just drop by booth 302 and we'll tell you all about it.

And please join us for drinks during the Expo Reception on Wednesday, March 23 from 5-6:30 p/m. (which we're proud to be sponsoring), or take in our Master Classes.

On Wednesday, March 23 it's all about collaboration as we present Working Together, Better: Leveraging Collaboration to Improve Your e-Learning Development on Stage 2 at 9:45 a.m. And we go mobile on Thursday, March 24 with Learning on the Move: Going mobile using Claro on Stage 1 at 9:45 a.m.

Both sessions will be a great chance to see Claro in action – and, we think, get excited, too.
