Upside Learning launches Multi-device Testing Lab service for eLearning projects

In today’s multi-device world, one of the major challenges is the wide range of devices on which eLearning needs to be supported. Different browsers, manufacturers, models and sizes, operating systems, connectivity modes and platforms further add to this challenge. To ensure that eLearning works properly on multiple devices, thorough testing is essential on actual primary devices and configurations. But not all organisations are equipped with the required resources in terms of manpower, testing tools and devices, nor can they afford to invest their time to thoroughly test eLearning on different combinations.

Upside Learning’s recently launched Multi-device Testing Lab service aims to help such organisations by testing and delivering high-quality learning projects that run consistently across device, browsers and operating systems.

The company has made robust investments in its infrastructure and is equipped with a variety of devices with screen sizes between 240 x 320 and 1280 x 800 pixels, as well as some high-DPI variants. For testing on larger displays, it has Windows PCs, Macs and laptops, while tablets and smart phonesrunning iOSAndroid and Windows, cover the smaller ones. Tools such as Adobe Edge Inspect and Ghostlab are employed for quick and accurate turnaround.

The Testing Lab services team includes highly-experienced quality testing specialists with a cumulative experience of over 50 years in the eLearning testing domain. A meticulously planned rigorous testing process that runs through five broad stages ensures an error-free project with a fast turn-around.

It’s a Silver For Upside Learning’s Framework for Responsive eLearning Development (FRED) at the 2014 Brandon Hall Awards

For years, the Brandon Hall Group, a HCM research and advisory services firm, has been running the Excellence Awards Program, which is also called the “Academy Awards” by Learning, Talent and Business Executives. The Excellence in Technology Awards recognise successfully deployed, cutting-edge, innovative eLearning programs, strategies and technologies that have achieved measurable results. Its under this award category that Upside Learning’s Framework for Responsive eLearning Development (FRED) has been honoured with a Silver for Best Advance in Unique Learning Technology this year.

FRED is an innovative HTML-based reusable Framework that helps develop responsive learning and performance support interventions on multiple devices seamlessly. With an existing library of 20+ templates, FRED allows for creation of multilingual eLearning that is configurable to give SCORM- or Tin Can compliant output.

FRED comes out victorious after being evaluated by an international panel of independent industry experts, Brandon Hall Group’s senior analysts, and their executive leadership team. The judging was based on the following criteria: design of the solution; functionality; usability; innovation; and overall measureable benefits.

On winning the prestigious Brandon Hall award, Amit Garg, Director & Co-founder of Upside Learning, said, “It’s a proud day for us and FRED. After having been in the making for over 12 months, imbibed with our learning from numerous HTML5 and responsive eLearning programs done over the years, in just 11 months since its release, FRED has won the most prestigious award in the eLearning industry! This in itself is an incredible feeling! We envision FRED to win many more awards, and help various organisations develop Responsive eLearning easily.”

Earlier this year, FRED had been recognised as an early adopter of the Tin Can API under ‘Authoring Tools’ category. More information about FRED is available at:
