CourseworkerXML

CourseworkerXML greatly contributes to the sustainable development of professional associations – both individually and to the sector as a whole.   The main benefit it offers is a more strategic approach to developing, publishing, managing and exchanging professional knowledge and information.

Maintaining and developing the knowledgebase connected with a profession is a critical need, and one that is today bedevilled by proprietary systems and incompatible publishing formats.

By using open standards for information, CourseworkerXML offers a vendor independent path to follow, where knowledge and course materials become assets imbued with longevity and reusability. Reusable course materials make it much easier to embrace joint activities across the professions, and to embrace new opportunities for revenue through collaboration and diversification.

CourseworkerXML also delivers benefit through long term improvements in cost, quality and productivity. Its batch publishing tools delivers maintenance cost savings of between 40-60%. They remove the need to typeset and build web pages by hand, which drives up consistency and accuracy. They batch generate large professional publications in seconds, and when combined with XML based translation services, they can output in any language including Chinese and Arabic.

Well maintained CourseworkerXML knowledge bases can also be used to increase the quality of professional development services to members, their employers and the broader community.  CourseworkerXML’s optional competency framework component, provides pragmatic help for associations wishing to improve the competence of their members, and manage competency frameworks for the profession.

The case for online CPD remains as strong as ever, but there are many ways professional associations can use CourseworkerXML to develop sustainable new revenues.  Going online for the first time in a cost-effective way is an important early step. Crafting high value and current CPD products is another. Partnering on new developments and diversifications is a third.  Whatever your strategy is, XML and CourseworkerXML should be at the foundation of your publishing and online delivery processes.
