NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Prague, Czech Republic, 2011/04/13 - CloudSource Solutions announced the release of the CourseDirector App in the Google Apps Marketplace - CloudSourceSolutions.com.

CourseDirector was created by CloudSource Solutions, a Google Apps Education partner with clients across Europe and the US.

CloudSource director Mike Gouteff commented "CloudSource created the App to provide a full LMS system within Google Apps, similar to Moodle or Blackboard but much more lightweight and cost effective. We believe in the current economic climate with shrinking school IT budgets the time was right for a system that sits within Google Apps for Education, Google's great free E: and collaboration system for schools and Universities". Gouteff added "In addition research shows that most schools use less than 10% of the features of these 'Enterprise' LMS systems, so we have focused on the basic things that schools need; A way to quickly and easily create and share course content with students"

CloudSource Solutions (cloudsourcesolutions.com) already have CourseDirector live at several K-12 and Higher Education institutions cross Europe and North America, but felt the time was right to release it to the Marketplace to increase the exposure to the App. CloudSource also simultaneously announced a partner program to work together with select Education Technology consultancies to help set up and resell CourseDirector to their school and University clients

The Google Apps Marketplace is now one year old and is a place for approved vendors to sell 'Apps' that integrate with Google Apps and the EDU category is growing rapidly in 2011.

The App is now available to download directly in the Google Apps Marketplace for a free and unlimited two month trial.
