College & University InformationOnline Learning Authoring System for Creating E-Courses
by:
Kathy Sparks
I'll go back just about a year and a half once
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, code certification schools with hundreds of listings of classes. Okay, how just about "writing courses online." No again, these words just tell me wherever
to go to find just about writing courses online.
The subject is actually rather obscure. This power be because authoring systems are generally for large companies who can afford to purchase bespoke code specifically written for their company. Okay, let's try "online authoring course." Good, a little closer, but now I'm coming up with code packages to purchase. And they are not inexpensive. What I was looking for was a tool on line wherever
I could have my own account and do the following at an cheap price:
- Log in to my personal account
- Create courses that have
-- Reading material
-- Self check quizzes
-- Final test
-- The ability to print
-- The ability to use PDF files with the course
-- Learners can start a class, leave class and move back to activity on their class with their own personal log in.
-- Do a final quiz
-- Have the quiz hierarchal and if successful, obtain a certificate of eminent completion
- Track the results of Learners
- Edit the course content on demand
- Have some some courses inside
one account
- Not have to worry just about downloading code and business programs to my web site and creating login screens
And I necessary a Pay as You Go cost for a small start up online course business wherever
I can increase the service as I increase business.
When I didn't find this resolution 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. Tho'
easier than printing and mailing booklets, it did cause new problems, like "I couldn't get my course to download," I didn't obtain the email," I can't find the Enrollment Code," but at least they weren't telling me "the dog ate my course." However, those Cyberspace gremlins do show up occasionally.
At last I stumbled upon my perfect resolution and a free 30 day trail! This is a 100% web based e-Learning toolset. I've created my 1st course. It actually is quite easy.
