Sony PSP fans can now use tailored software to train following the launch of a new rapid elearning authoring tool.

Atlantic Link has developed the software to allow courses to be designed specifically for the Sony PSP Slim and Lite which can be deployed locally from the Memory Stick Duo or the Internet.

MD Mike Alcock said: "The traditional problem with courses on the PSP is that they’ve never been designed for the smaller screen and are often shrunken versions of courses designed for viewing on PC screens. To tackle this we have enabled our software to author at the native screen size of a Sony PSP.

"Because the output of Content Point is Flash, the courses still contain all of the high quality and interactivity of Atlantic Link’s usual output, but with the benefit of small screen design. Quizzes, games, activities, audio, video and Flash animations are all supported, giving users the richest possible course experience."

The company predicts that the technology will have countless applications such as using it to undertake language and product training as well as being able to get updates, maintenance guides and training, medical training, or be used as interactive museum guides or for schools training.
