CM Group: The Luminosity rapid eLearning authoring platform from CM Group now available to smaller producers

New cloud based Luminosity server enables low cost eLearning creation for all.

Previously Luminosity Studio has been provided as an enterprise level system for the largest and most demanding leading organisations; those clients who want the total security and control that a locally installed server can provide can install their own local Luminosity server behind their firewall on their own LAN.

Now a new rental model is available for smaller producers. The new annual rental model is just £895 per author pa with full access to a secure cloud based server to facilitate full author collaboration and stakeholders’ review.

Luminosity’s architecture means that there is a small piece of software that is installed on the author’s PC. The author can work offline and not rely on a constant internet connection. When authors next go onto the internet they can sync up with the server at that time. This is ideal for authors who do not have constant high bandwidth internet access. It also fully supports those authors working individually with no need of collaboration.
CM Group’s MD Tim Buff said: “I’ve been a bit stung by criticism recently that our Luminosity rapid eLearning authoring system is only suitable for the very biggest organisations. Maybe the reason is that it’s a rolls royce system with a back-end server that enables all the authors, editors, testers, reviewers and approvers to collaborate quickly and efficiently with one another to produce high quality eLearning courseware. Whatever the reason, I’ve asked our marketing and technical teams here at CM Group to do something about it and they have come up with what I think is a great solution.”

“From now on eLearning developers can rent a single user authoring licence for just £895 per author pa. This includes the software and vitally, full access to our secure, hosted collaboration server. So now even the smaller producers can design and create great quality eLearning at a fraction of the traditional cost.”
