Toolkits v1.0 brings a range of new features to the browser-based version of our authoring tools, allowing users to easily collaborate in the development of learning materials.

Authors will find an improved interface and a number of workflow enhancements, a wider choice of page templates, improved support for RSS publishing and open courseware syndication, additional accessibility controls and better support for collaboration. Content is more readily shared, reused and repurposed through the ability to export and import projects.

Developers will find a more easily portable and customisable application, and find it easier to extend the existing templates and develop new ones, and the ability to share toolkits data with other applications, and integrate toolkits with other systems.

System adminstrators will find an improved installer, support for windows servers, and a management interface for day-to-day administrative tasks.

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed throughout the beta programme.
