Online Education

Introduction

Training your internal employees, students or external customers is more critical than ever. Today's worker must be a knowledge worker and must keep pace with a constantly growing volume of product and industry information.

Companies and organizations look for efficiency, effectiveness and productivity improvements. The trend toward online training is real and is likely to be permanent.

To meet this need, Online Development has developed FlexTraining^TM. Online Development has been providing custom and packaged web based solutions since 1995, and FlexTraining is our most powerful, flexible, user-friendly product to date.

FlexTraining is a complete Learning Management System framework and delivery system for the development, assembly and management of online training. It is economically priced at about $3 per student for unlimited courses and is designed to be easy to install, configure and manage.

Web based training software can drastically reduce training costs, effort and complexity while providing a cutting-edge, interactive, multi-medium learning experience.

FlexTraining is a learning management system powerful enough for the enterprise, yet so simple that you can be delivering interactive education in hours rather than weeks. Testing, course evaluations and skills tracking are also automated and can be activated as needed with a simple mouse-click.

With an ease-of use that is almost revolutionary, FlexTraining gives you the power to build and manage online training courses and testing without programming or complex setup and administration.

Need an Expert?

Instructor-led or completely automated - it's your choice.

The question that many organizations have about web based education is this:

Who trains my students (or employees), the computer or a subject matter expert?

The answer is "both." Even if your training environment contains carefully prepared course material, charts, photographs, assignments, tests and multi-media, your students are still being trained by the content developer. The real question is, What kind of access do the students have to an expert and how much do they need?

The list of possibilities ranges from a high-touch solution, where the training framework primarily connects the students with an instructor, to a more high-tech, hands-off setup. Sometimes you don't want to staff an instructor for each time a course is offered and would prefer to let automation handle the content delivery for you. Many companies conduct extensive online training without ever utilizing an instructor.

FlexTraining is designed with these various scenarios in mind and lets you establish the right mix of computer-based content and instructor interaction. Assignments, tests, exercises, training plans, course guides, e-mail and online discussions are available to supplement your course content as needed.

Putting it all Together

For most organizations there is a high probability that some form of training material exists already in an application such as Word or PowerPoint, in Flash movies, in audio and video or in your favorite online authoring tool. You may have invested a considerable amount of time in the development, production and editing of this training content.

A versatile learning management system such as FlexTraining helps you assemble, organize, structure and deploy online training using existing materials without a complex conversion process and without having to start from scratch.

Through a simple web based interface, you will quickly build complete courses, course guides, pre-tests and/or post-tests and perform other management and reporting functions.
