Pearson Releases EQUELLA 5.1 Digital Repository
Latest Version Makes it Easier to Manage Digital Learning Assets
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pearson, the world's leading learning company, today released EQUELLA 5.1, the latest version of the award-winning digital repository that enables users to search, create and manage content online.

EQUELLA places no restriction on the content type or file size, and all content is protected using the repository's permissions, digital rights management and copyright functionality.
"EQUELLA's strength continues to be the core functionality that is laser focused on the effective management of digital content," said Matt Leavy, CEO of Pearson eCollege. "EQUELLA 5.1 extends the reach of the platform and now includes the ability to manage assessment objects - an incredibly important resource for institutions that want to share and reuse assessments created by instructional designers."
