READYGO® , INC. ANNOUNCE A NEW RELEASE OF ITS POPULAR READYGO WEB COURSE BUILDER SOFTWARE

ReadyGo WCB 5.0 Now with full RTF support

May 2, 2005 , Mountain View , CA -- ReadyGo® Inc., creator of the authoring tool that brings eLearning course creation into the hands of the subject matter expert, today announced that ReadyGo Web Course Builder (WCB) v. 5.0 is available for shipping. ReadyGo moves eLearning to the next level by providing full support for RTF.

Major New Features
“Many of our customers have existing documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint®. They want true reusability of these documents in their eLearning courses.” Says Anita Rosen President ReadyGo Inc. “We don’t consider reusability to be simply pointing to a document that needs a plug- in, is not web viewable, or is only a picture of the document. Our approach provides reusability that is easy for the learner to access. Our customers can now drag and drop a Word document, Excel spread sheet, or PowerPoint slide into a ReadyGo WCB page. ReadyGo WCB automatically translates the document into standard, web readable, HTML while maintaining all the document’s formatting. ReadyGo WCB v. 5.0 makes it simple for course creators to reuse existing content and straight forward for learners to view this content.

ReadyGo WCB is already the simplest and easiest authoring tool on the market. These new features set a new bar for reusability and ease of course development. With ReadyGo WCB story boards, web design, and instructional design are built into the ReadyGo WCB. ReadyGo’s structured approach simplifies the process, allowing course creators to focus on content development. “Our customers have reaped a 10 fold productivity increase using ReadyGo WCB over traditional WYSIWYG tools. These new features should further increase course creation productivity.” states Rosen.
