The version 2.0 release of iPC Scholar, launched on the sidelines of Frankfurt Book Fair, features a modernized UI, support for learning workflows, and some key upgrades to address unique business challenges encountered by new-age publishers and education companies.
iPC Scholar (Now mon’k) is a cloud-hosted, content-agnostic platform that allows publishers, enterprises, and education providers to integrate and securely deliver all their digital content, including eBooks, journals, courses, videos, audio files, and documents in Microsoft Word® and Microsoft PowerPoint® formats and custom formats to end users, directly through their own branded portal. The platform allows publishers to offer uniform customer experiences while gaining actionable insights on consumer interaction across all digital products.
With the 2.0 version release, iPC Scholar (Now mon’k) is now fully refactored to a microservices architecture, offering its customers unprecedented scalability and flexibility, along with other key feature enhancements
Modernized UI
An easy-to-navigate, clear, responsive, and intuitive user interface drives the success of any application or platform. With the 2.0 release, iPC Scholar (Now mon’k) now has a revamped UI across all content types designed to engage the audience with a sophisticated user experience.
Support for learning workflows
iPC Scholar 2.0 (Now mon’k) supports typical workflows related to learning, like assigning content to learners, assessing comprehension of content based on quizzes and assessments, tracking progress of learners, and providing detailed reports. Additionally, functionality to nudge learners to finish assignments, and provide motivation via leaderboards is available.
Professional associations and education providers will now have the ability to manage and offer continuing education credits and certification programs to learners. And at the user-end, the learners can now earn credits and certificates for courses they have completed.
