The new application interface was launched in April 2001 and is currently being implemented across a large number of KnowledgePlanet’s customers.

Feedback reported from existing customers indicates that they are able to introduce the application to learners more quickly than was the case with the previous version. For those customers who have been using the previous version for a long time, there has been an anticipated transition period, because users had gotten used to the layout and navigation from the previous version. However, learners say they prefer the new design as they become more familiar with it, in particular their personal To Do List.

Customer implementation managers who worked with the previous version have also said that they appreciate the new design. They have been able to reduce the planned activities surrounding the roll-out of the application to their employees because they expect the learners to understand more readily what they are to do when using the application. There has also been some reduced implementation cost due to simplifying changes to the interface text through the new editor. This will have ongoing savings, as the text changes will be able to more easily move between versions without requiring rework.
