Lectora X.6 Receives Rave Reviews

Just one month ago, Lectora® X.6 e-Learning authoring software released with a revolutionary new feature: ReviewLink™ Beta online review tool. Since then, Lectora professionals have used ReviewLink to share courses and receive valuable feedback from online reviewers - and they have not been disappointed. e-Learning fans have been busy on LinkedIn, Twitter and other online venues stating their Lectora X.6 reviews and opinions. Read on to see what everyone is saying about Lectora X.6 and ReviewLink:

Diane Elkins recently reviewed Lectora X.6 in her E-Learning Uncovered blog, "Review: Course Review and Comment Systems." Here's what she had to say:

"ReviewLink has some strong advantages on the back end. You can sort and filter the comments such as by page by reviewer, and by status (active, fixed, etc.). In addition, ReviewLink comments include a link that takes you right to the page in question, so that you can see the issue for yourself easily."

Christine O'Malley, Director of Creative Learning at Alliant Quality Partners, Inc., thinks ReviewLink is the "missing link" in the e-Learning management and review process:

"From an instructional design perspective I think Trivantis has 'nailed it.' This was the missing link (no pun intended) that enables many of us to better manage the review process with SMEs and ISDs (especially those who are not licensed or skilled in Lectora) because it allows them to see the course in a finished state as they provide feedback. I have been using it with my clients to review courses and I think it could easily become an essential tool of my e-Learning business."

Check out what others are saying about Lectora X.6 and ReviewLink on LinkedIn:

"I love it already, just for ReviewLink alone!" - Drucilla O
"Glad to see that a review tool is being included." - Shawn Stiles
"I look forward to ReviewLink! This will hopefully fill a need we've had for years as far as customer/SME reviews are concerned. Way to go Trivantis!" - Ben Lucero
