Denver (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

Pearson today announced EQUELLA® 5.2, the latest version of its award-winning digital repository that allows users to search, create and manage content online.

EQUELLA provides a central platform for an institution’s teaching and learning, research, media and library content management needs. Institutions can easily search in one location for all of their content—video, custom eBooks, presentations, lecture captures and more—all tagged by metadata, such as learning outcomes, grade level and relevant keywords. EQUELLA places no restriction on the content type or file size, and all content is protected using the repository’s permissions, digital rights management and copyright functionality.

“With a series of rapid enhancements, EQUELLA continues to be the industry’s most innovative digital repository. Institutions of all types can better manage and share valuable learning assets and further maximize their content management investments,” said Matt Leavy, CEO of Pearson eCollege.

EQUELLA 5.2 offers these features:

Enhanced search interface that auto-populates suggested search terms as the customer types.
Integration with the Kaltura video platform, so customers can distribute streamed video content.
Improved “Push to LMS” support to improve usability, including enhanced sorting and filtering.
Enhanced classification management that allows institutions to use any controlled vocabulary terms that address size and composition considerations.
Enhanced discovery of EQUELLA items in search engines.
Introduction of REST APIs that allow customers to further customize, integrate and extend EQUELLA.
