The
system remembers where you are
Students can also stop anywhere, any time, and
the next time they sign on our system will take them right to the place
they left off - no need to remember where they were, no need to page
through the course to get back on track.
Learn by
viewing simulations
Yet another way to gain
the hands-on experience you're looking for is through the use of our
unique task-based
simulations. It may seem like you're in the
application, but you'll be safe within the bounds of the course. The
free and widely used Shockwave plug-in will enable you to run these
optional simulations.
Learn by
answering questions
Everyone who takes the training courses may print a certificate
of completion to prove that they have mastered the course.
True/false, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions are included
throughout the courses, which engages you in the learning process.
The system keeps track of the questions you got correct. If you
answer the questions with 70% or better accuracy, then you will have the
option to print a certificate of completion on your own printer.
Learn by doing
exercises
Our courses are loaded with
interactive exercises, so students can learn by doing. Each
course offers frequent opportunities for practice in the form of
simulations and exercises - providing students with a sound
understanding of underlying concepts.
"Click to
continue prompts" will tell you to click on various menu options,
in order to help reinforce your learning.
This design
insures you'll be an active and engaged participant throughout each
course.
Learn by
using sample files
Programming
courses contain sample files with code that you can actually cut and
paste, into a compiler. You'll be able to practice with these files and
save time, by using them in a program of your own.
Skill
Assessment Testing
Students also have the
option of taking a preliminary test, to assess their knowledge of a
particular subject, and a custom learning path is created. If students
obtain a mastery score during the assessment, they can "test
out" of a course, reducing the amount of time spent training. Each
course also provides scored questions embedded within the course,
providing students with feedback of their course mastery. After a course
is finished, students can take a "post-test" to assess how well
they've
mastered the material.
Fast
Presentation - each course page loads in seconds!
We designed our
courses in native HTML specifically for fast presentation through
internal business networks and the Internet. Because the courses are
designed for the Web, students do not waste time waiting for pages to
download to a hard drive at any point during the course (a page is
typically less than 16 Kb). Students can also move forward or backward
in a course one page at a time.
Indexed content
Advanced index-search technology
is designed to allow just-in-time access to course content. Students can
quickly find information they need using the course topics list and/or
the index.
This eliminates the need to take courses from beginning to end in order
to find key information nuggets.
