Dynamic Learning Object Repository

With Private SoftChalk Cloud, authorized instructors can collect, manage and share content in a learning object repository (LOR) unique to your institution. In your LOR, the content author, their colleagues, specific groups or the entire institution can share, reuse and repurpose the content using workgroup features that support true team-based development.

Your content and your users under YOUR control

Your institution has administrative rights to your Private SoftChalk Cloud. Administrators can manage users via password resets and \"permission groups\" with varied rights and space allocation that can be modified for each group. They also have the ability to view the site as a specific user to troubleshoot user issues, monitor feedback received through the site, view site usage statistics, and control user account creation for the site.

Secure, Scalable Cloud-based Solution

Implementing a Private SoftChalk Cloud will relieve your institution from having to purchase, setup, install and maintain local hardware and software, making it very cost-effective. Private SoftChalk Clouds are built on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform, making them highly reliable and scalable while allowing for tremendous flexibility, security and availability. Because the AWS platform is distributed, the chance of service outages is very low. This allows us to scale our service to handle growth and traffic to keep your platform running smoothly.

Integrates easily with your LMS

Each content item in your Private SoftChalk Cloud can link into multiple courses in multiple LMSs, and track student scores directly into multiple LMS gradebooks. When content changes, you just update it once, in the Cloud, and every course in every LMS that uses the content is updated simultaneously. This \"create once, use everywhere\" approach provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for developing your eLearning curriculum and is one of the key reasons institutions are implementing Private SoftChalk Clouds. Storing your content in the \'Cloud\' eliminates the need to migrate or re-create content if your institution needs to move from one LMS to another.

Up and running in a few weeks

Your Private SoftChalk Cloud implementation includes site setup and branding, migration of content from our public SoftChalk Cloud platform to the Private SoftChalk Cloud site and Cloud administrative training for two staff members.

Setup and implementation of your Private SoftChalk Cloud can typically be completed within 4-6 weeks of a finalized agreement.
