Courses provide the following features and benefits:
Features
Our standard HTML courses on IT and end user topics contain many
exciting features, detailed below. These features pertain to our latest
introduction, Business Skills Videos, where noted.
Skill Assessment
Save time by taking a pre-test before you take the course. The results
of the test will let you know what parts of the course you need to take.
A post-test is also available. You'll know how well you've mastered the
material once you've completed this test.
Exercises
Gain valuable hands-on experience. You'll work in the actual software
application with these exercises.
Questions
True/false, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions are liberally
included throughout the courses, engaging you in the learning process.
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.
Sample Files
Our coding courses contain sample files 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.
Activities
Actively engage in courses with our Flash-based, information-driven
activities.
Bookmarking
Our intelligent client technology recognizes where you are throughout a
course and tracks your progress in a course. The next time you access
the course, you will return to the same location within the course. You
don't need to remember where you stopped or how to return to where you
stopped.
Search
Allows you to research a topic of interest in any or all of the courses
you can access. Enables you to rapidly search all text, including text
within coding examples, to easily retrieve the information you require.
Search now includes Business Skills Videos!
Accessibility
Allows vision-impaired students to use a text reader program to read the
text-only version of a course. Enables students to access the various
course features by using command keys to navigate, search the glossary,
answer course questions, and more.
Course in Review
Provides a course summary with resources for measuring learning at the
course level. Study strategies and/or exam objectives exist for
certification topic courses.
Flash and Audio
Using Flash and audio, you'll enjoy complex animations, enhanced
simulations, and audio elements.
Role-Based and Scenario-Specific Training
Courses focus on realistic scenarios to convey important information.
Video
Many courses use scenario-based streaming video, supplemented with
audio, graphics, and scrolling text, to help learners absorb the
material in multiple ways.
Links to Reference Material
Business Skills Video courses include links to reference material,
allowing learners to access additional information on related topics of
interest.
