November 19th, 2011 // 6:01 am @ admin
Hello from CourseDirector, the number one LMS/VLE/Gradebook in the Google Apps Marketplace, that allows you to run your entire Learning Management System through Google Apps for Education.
New Google Sites course templates
This week we are delighted to roll out some great new templates which you can use as a basis to make even more engaging courses in Google Sites. When you install CourseDirector the new template gallery will appear giving you a choice of site templates customized for K-12 and Higher Education institutions. For our existing clients we will share the templates with the CourseDirector Admins so that you have access to them.
Sign up to CourseDirector by February 1st to fix existing pricing
As a thank you to our initial CourseDirector customers we will be fixing the current price ongoing for all existing customers, and also all trial clients who sign up for CourseDirector before the end of January. We are rolling out our new pricing in December but as a special thank you to the schools we have worked with initially the early low price will stay the same.
What our clients are saying about us:
The best thing about running CourseDirector has been the ability it has given us to work with and learn form some amazing educators, and also to help them run their institutions at a lower cost and maintenance overhead. On this newsletter we wanted to publish some of the feedback we have received.
"Course director is a well thought out and well executed tie-together for Google Apps in the education and training environment. The software is great, but it's still software. What makes Course Director unique and very much a sound investment is the quality of the people behind it, and the earnestness with which they support their customers. You guys, like a handful of other teams I've had the opportunity to work with, truly do go above and beyond. You have managed to link a solid and unique (I have not found anything like this elsewhere) piece of web software with an equally solid and uniquely engaged group of people supporting it. Thank you for all you do!" - US Coast Guard Auxiliary Service
"I work for a Theological College in the UK where we wanted to find a way to run a VLE wholly within Google Apps. Having completed our trial period with Course Director, we are moving ahead very enthusiastically in partnership with them. CourseDirector is incredibly easy to use and does what we need it to do. Where we have made requests and suggestions CourseDirector have moved with remarkable speed to meet them and have done so efficiently and successfully. Dealing with the CourseDirector team has been a pleasure and I am very to recommend them to anyone looking for a flexible platform through which to deliver education and training. The price isn't bad either." - Oak Hill College
"We have been using CourseDirector at Nairobi International School for a month now and it's great. We were using straight Google Apps for Education for 6 months before discovering CourseDirector. It has greatly eased using GAE for both teachers and students, but the best thing is the support. Issues are resolved within 6 hours, and feature requests are implemented in five days after confirmation of implementation by CourseDirector support. If you're looking for something stable, fast that fully utilizes GAE for a school, this is it." – Nairobi International School
