Meridian
Global LMS is an online learning and knowledge management platform that
integrates courseware delivery,
administrative reporting and documentation, knowledge mapping, competency management, collaboration tools, knowledge
capture, and performance management. Meridian Global LMS
is compliant with industry standards, such as
Aviation Industry Computer-based Training Committee (AICC) and Sharable Content Object
Reference Model (SCORM) standards, allowing the seamless integration of
commercial off-the-shelf courseware libraries as well as custom content.
Meridian Global LMS
is the company's flagship product. In 2008, members of the
eLearning Guild rated Meridian as the learning management system
(LMS) easiest to use, by users and administrators alike.
Meridian Global is
an all-in-one suite of enterprise learning management tools, including - .NET platform—Meridian Global is built on the
Microsoft .NET platform, allowing for multiple advantages. The single biggest
benefit of using a .NET LMS is the ability to build smaller, simpler
applications that can easily integrate with existing or legacy systems.

that enables a student to search the entire knowledge repository at the
learning object level.
- collaboration spaces—Virtual team rooms provide
collaboration areas with document and presentation sharing, blogs, a team
calendar, and e-mail management tools.
- broad knowledge capture—The knowledge repository
provides access to learning opportunities extending far
beyond classroom-based course offerings, computer-based training, and
online learning. The knowledge repository captures, categorizes, and catalogs knowledge
assets, including courseware, simulations, job aids, subject matter experts,
lessons learned, and references—all at the learning object level.

materials
