Fall projects at ICS

With the economic difficulties the country has been facing overall, we here at ICS Learning Group feel fortunate to have kept not just busy, but very busy over the past year. Of course, with as good as we are, it’s not too surprising! 😉It’s hard to believe 2010 is drawing to a close. So, leaving […]

Flash/Captivate and Web Services

Every now and then we get a customer who wants to enhance their project with more advanced features, perhaps to due to a lack of functionality in their LMS, or to integrate a custom content-management service. For example, a client would like to record specific SCORM data that their LMS does not support. One way […]

Flash-back to iP* dev

Somewhat like a flashback; In Adobe’s development of the latest CS5 suite of products, they included an ‘iPhone Packager‘, allowing Flash to be used as a development tool for Apps to be distributed to Apple’s iOS products (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad). Just before the release, Apple adjust their Terms to disallow such third-party application development…creating […]

Project Portals and Wave Goodbye

Well, Google Wave didn’t last too long. It’s still up and supported likely through the end of the year, but …Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product… We explored it when the hype was heavy and thought it maybe a […]

eLearning Global Growth

Before the meat, is it “eLearning” or “e-Learning”? We’ve settled on the former here, largely, though there are still a few holdouts. There was a similar debate years ago over “email” vs. “e-mail” and it sure seems the non-hyphenated version won. Really, the hyphen is really rather unnecessary, don’t you think? Maybe more critical to […]

Web Magic, part 1

There may not be a part 2, or 3, or 4…but so titling this post just in case there will be. We’ll not fall into the Star Wars trap of retitling releases! We had a big MS Exchange issue here last week – power outage timed perfectly with an Exchange update. Totally borked the server. […]

In a nice little write-up on “Five Emerging LMSs to Watch”, our Inquisiq R3 gets a bit of a blurb, along with this quote from one of our long-time customers, “Give people tools that are intuitive and similar to those they use every day on their computers, and you have Inquisiq.”-Kevin T. We appreciate the […]
