Technical Specifications

Our unique range of interactive learning materials gives learning

providers an opportunity to host a range of titles from our
Understand Range on campus to teach and test students on
specific business areas.

Single User
Windows application delivered on CD-ROM. This version is intended for one user only, for installing on to a stand alone computer.

Our Software has tracking built in as standard. When a user first

logs on to a package an account is created for each user. This is
up-dates with various performance indicators which can be viewed
by the lecturer/trainer through Reporter, a utility supplied with the
software. With a new modern interface, Reporter offers the
following additional functionality:

Our interactive materials have been designed so that they can run
on most PCs found in offices, educational establishments or
homes.

Features
Our interactive software is designed to be used as a stand alone
product so you do not need to worry about any accompanying
manuals or workbooks. All of our products are designed so they
may be used by individuals studying at their own pace.
Tutorials are completely self explanatory. Each module takes you
through several worked examples before allowing you to
complete other examples by yourself
We provide a clear and logical breakdown of the sequence of
learning. Our navigation controls allow you to either work
through the unit in sequence or access pages directly, depending
on your stage of learning
We use an extensive range of graphics and animation to provide
simulation of the work environment. These features also make
tutorials interesting and fun
We provide advanced education techniques with assistance and
feedback throughout the range of titles
Our graphical user interface greatly improves the ease of use with
extensive 'point and click' facilities
Benefits
Our computer based interactive materials are more flexible than
traditional training methods as you have complete control over the
speed at which the material is presented. This saves 40% of your
time without any impact on your level of knowledge upon
completion.
Your students can study at their own pace and at a time and place
which is convenient for them.

SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)

Our software is both SCORM V1.2 and 2004 compliant. Versions
can be supplied which integrate with any SCORM compliant
Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS version of a
product is the main course which integrates with the LMS giving
feedback on students' progress, scores and time spent studying.
Depending on the LMS adopted, module and student access can
be controlled in various ways, such as blocking access to later
modules until earlier ones have been fully covered or allowing
certain groups of students access. We can now supply individual
modules allowing lecturers/trainers to link these to their own
notes.
SCORM Question Banks
SCORM Question Banks allow you to provide users with
assessments through your SCORM Learning Management System.
These can be provided as self-test assessments with feedback per
question, or as exams with no feedback provided to the student.
Intranet
For clients who do not have a Learning Management System but
have a web server, we can offer an intranet version that you can
host and deliver the content via the web browser.
Estimated interactive learning hours
The estimated number of interactive learning hours is based on
studying the material to a reasonable level of understanding.
