Join the growing list of ULE adopting schools - let us customize a Universal Learning E-vironment® for your school!
No expensive infrastructure requirements, no long-term contract commitments, no dedicated maintenance personnel required. The Aries ULE is your first choice in alternative learning management systems.
The Aries Universal Learning E-vironment (ULE®) is an online hosted service portal for student, classroom, and content management. Unlike competing solutions, the ULE focuses on a single-sign on foundation for many of your school’s needs requiring little to no additional hardware or staffing investment to maintain. Your school will no longer need the hassle of separate systems from different vendors for content management, learning management, and student management!
The ULE provides all the expected features of a complete e-learning management solution and in addition the ULE is flexible and customizable to fit your school's needs. We can even integrate with 3rd party systems and content to reduce potential migration costs.
Standard ULE core features are built around offering our pre-made content, activities, and assessments:
- Hosted Course Content - Choose from our pre-made interactive static or dynamic content. Dynamic course structure allows instructors to pick and choose course objectives on the fly to fit class specific needs.

Select question types from a variety of formats including Multiple Response, Bimodal, Dynamic, or Open Ended such as essay, short answer and problem.

- Messaging System - Break free of unauthorized e-mails and spam with the internal ULE messaging system.
At its core, the ULE can replace or supplement your existing Content Management System, Learning Management System, and Student Information System. We have also developed the ULE to be as flexible as possible through advanced features to provide a complete solution package for more demanding needs such as third party content creation and uploading, e-commerce, certification, and multimedia hosting.
