eLearning "Firsts" and in Some Cases "Only"

Adaptive Learning Environment (ALEs), Adaptive Testing, and Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) were just a few of the many features that Gemini implemented into our first Technology Based-Training product, SWIFT (SoftWare Intelligent Freeform Training), which have proven to be highly visionary and beneficial to our customers.

• Based on an award winning design, the SWIFT ALE (now referred to as SWIFT Adaptive Learning Environment) was the first and only commercial release of its kind in 1995.
• We developed and implemented the first and only adaptive testing algorithms into an ALE based on the work and research of Frick and Welsh.
• SWIFT was the first and only application to implement Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), the predecessor of HTML and XML, for content representation. Gemini has since capitalized on the benefits of XML.
• SWIFT Author is the first and only tool to automate content re-use by publishing test questions from a SWIFT course to a SWIFT test or vice versa at the click of a button.
• Gemini developed our own web server (HTTP Listener) which provides our customers with several benefits such as a much higher level of security, unlike other eLearning web applications that are reliant on third party web servers such as Microsoft's® IIS©.
