Giunti Labs

Giunti Labs provides clients across the globe with a wide choice of learning solutions and services for: Content production, R&D, Technological solutions for Content, Learning & Knowledge Management, Architectural and technological solutions for Mobile & Wireless, Training and Consulting. Integrating these solutions and services with rSmart's Sakai CLE offers educational institutions a robust eLearning environment.

One specific example of this integration is with Giunti's HarvestRoad Hive®, an independent digital repository that is integrated with the rSmart Sakai CLE. Hive® is a Federated Digital Repository System (FDRS) that manages any form of content used for learning in the CLE. It is federated because it is designed to share content across multiple instances of the HarvestRoad Hive® application or across other repositories in your organization, such as library systems. Use HarvestRoad Hive® as a single point of discovery for your information assets or make content in HarvestRoad Hive® accessible to a federated search engine.

HarvestRoad Hive® solves the information management problems that surface when organizations implement eLearning. Such problems require solutions for:

• version control, controlled editing in collaborative situations
• structured and flexible workflow to implement quality processes for content maintenance
• metadata management and the ability to customize for your specific needs
• copyright management and enforcement of copyright access restrictions
• content rendering in alternative formats for delivery of content to web browsers and other devices, and
• rapid content assembly and disassembly of learning objects
• distributed caching of content to support scalable, responsive delivery of content to portals, learning management systems and other applications.
