Mentor Graphics was ready to take the next step in its online training business…but commercial learning management software wasn’t. Instead, a small team of Mentor web developers hand-picked open-source microapps and industry standard cloud services to build a learning center that’s flexible, scalable, and adaptable. Mentor Learning Center provides a self-paced training environment for tech professionals, with a multi-level subscription model, customizable learning paths, and a global delivery model that automatically shifts to the server closest to each student for best performance. The center’s subscription model includes a virtual lab, giving each student a fully configured cloud-based hands-on lab environment that can be run from any web connection. Students can easily find courses through SEO landing pages, try sample chapters before they buy, and track their progress through a personalized dashboard. Join Mentor’s Ron Fuller and Lane Giles as they demonstrate how they wove industry-standard tools such as WordPress, Magento e-commerce, and Amazon Web Services, into a complete training management system.
