Online Learning Authoring And Management System |

I'll go back about a year and a half when I began researching an
online learning system for two of my clients. What keywords to
use - online learning. Well no, that brings up all sorts of
colleges, universities, technical schools, software
certification schools with hundreds of listings of classes.
Okay, how about "writing courses online." No again, these words
simply tell me where to go to find about writing courses online.
The subject is really rather obscure. This might be because
authoring systems are generally for large companies who can
afford to purchase customized software specifically written for
their company. Okay, let's try "online authoring course." Good,
a little closer, but now I'm coming up with software packages to
purchase. And they are not inexpensive. What I was looking for
was a tool on line where I could have my own account and do the
following:
1. Log in to my personal account 2. Create courses that have a.
Reading material b. Self check quizzes c. Final test d. The
ability to print e. The ability to use PDF files with the course
f. Learners can start a class, leave class and come back to work
on their class with their own personal log in. g. Do a final
quiz h. Have the quiz graded and if successful, receive a
certificate of successful completion 3. Track the results of
Learners 4. Edit the course content on demand 5. Have several
different courses within one account 6. Not have to worry about
downloading software and publishing programs to my web site and
creating login screens
At a Pay as You Go price for a small start up online course
business where I can increase the service as I increase
business.
When I didn't find this solution a year and a half ago, I
created my courses as E-books and sent them out to Learners who
ordered them and wanted the ability to do their classes from the
convenience of their homes. Although easier than printing and
mailing booklets, it did cause new problems, like "I couldn't
get my course to download," I didn't receive the email," I can't
find the Enrollment Code," but at least they weren't telling me
"the dog ate my course." However, those Internet gremlins do
show up occasionally.
At last I stumbled upon my perfect solution and a free 30 day
trail! This is a 100% web based e-Learning toolset. I've created
my first course. It really is quite easy. You don't need
programming skills - simply copy and past your material. If you
are a coach, consultant, tutor or teacher and have courses to
share, you should try this tool. It's easy to get started.
