Pastiche

Pastiche® by Xyleme is a turnkey solution that allows you to rapidly assemble existing textbooks, interactive multi-media, test prep, and moment-of-need support materials and publish them on-demand to any number of customizable and privately branded iPad or Kindle Fire apps.

The Pastiche ecosystem is made up of three components: the Pastiche tablet app, a set of authoring and publishing tools, and the Pastiche Store. The Pastiche Store is a hosted content distribution platform to provide your users seamless yet controlled access to your learning catalog. An intuitive Web admin interface allows you to upload new or updated products and gives you the ability to make them available on per-user, per-group, or public basis.

Interactive apps that put learners in control Pastiche apps are high-end, truly interactive apps where learners decide how they want to view, navigate, and interact with your learning materials. Choose to present your content in any or all of the following ways:

New Pastiche versions are released every twelve (12) weeks by Xyleme. This allows you to keep your learners engaged with the most cutting-edge features afforded by today's tablets.

With Pastiche, you can finally eschew expensive, one-off software development projects for your tablet app. Pastiche's end-to-end solution guarantees you benefits that deliver real competitive advantage:

Rapid time-to-market: Bespoke iPad apps that used to take 6-12 months of development can now be deployed with Pastiche in as little as 30-60 days, ensuring you the fastest time-to-market in a highly competitive environment.

Custom brand: Your Pastiche app can be easily customized to comply with the branding requirements of your organization. Xyleme provides a branding guide detailing the required branding images and in a few hours, a custom branded tablet app can be ready for you to test.

Unlimited apps / minimal maintenance: Pastiche allows you to create any number of learning products from a single source of existing content. This means that as you update or create new content, it can be deployed to any print, web, and now, tablet app in a few mouse clicks. Furthermore, the Pastiche preview functionality allows you to review your content as it will appear in its final format in real-time through a browser without having to deploy it, saving you tremendous time and hassle.

Future-proofed content: Since the Pastiche source content is open XML and its output HTML5, your content is ready today for deployment to tomorrow’s technologies and devices.

Built-in security: Pastiche content is downloadable and available for offline viewing by learners. All course content stored on the tablet is encrypted, included video and other media files to protect your valuable intellectual property.

Monetize valuable learning content

The Pastiche Store allows you to devise new and exciting ways to extend the value of and further monetize your intellectual property.

B2B model based on licensing content: In this scenario, you sell your courses to other organizations via license keys that you generate through the Pastiche Store admin interface. Simply associate a set of courses to each key and define a user limit. The client organization you sell to then distributes these license keys as they see fit to the allotted number of users.

B2C model based on individual ecommerce transactions: In this scenario, you define a selling price when you upload your course to the Pastiche Store. When learners browse your course catalog through the in-App store, they will see the price set and be asked to purchase the course before the download takes place.

For those organizations supporting internal training, the Pastiche Store provides secure distribution of content among your employees and can be integrated with your LMS for reporting back completion status and assessment scores.
