TAFE / Community College
Vocational and technical institutions such as TAFEs are beginning to recognise the advantages in sharing content between previously disparate and independent institutions. EQUELLA provides these institutions with the ability to easily manage and share resources, whilst maintaining an independent approach to teaching and learning.
The existence of initiatives encouraging sharing amongst institutions has led to the development of EQUELLA's federated searching functionlity - allowing institutions access to external repositories.
The very nature of courses studied within technical and further educational institutions such as TAFEs requires that access is available anywhere and at anytime, due to the balance between practical and theoritical approaches to learning. EQUELLA supports this mechanism for learning, whilst providing tools to allow educators and trainers to develop dynamic and interactive learning materials.
System administrators within such institutions appreciate the functionality of EQUELLA's Active Cache solution - allowing for large files to be downloaded during times of low-bandwidth intensitivty.
In addition to the various benefits that EQUELLA provides insitutions within this crucial sector - the development of EQUELLA has been enhanced through collaboration with the sector. The increasing need to share content amongst instiutions has led to the need to ensure individuals are recognised for content developed, thus leading to the further development of EQUELLA's advanced digital rights management functionality.
