  1. Shorter learning curve for the software.
  2. Rapid development is made possible by the comprehensive amount of features included in the base system.
  3. No scripting or programming is required.
  4. Presentations are less expensive to produce, modify, and distribute. The difference in total development time is significant. Clients should expect to see a greater return on the investment made in a shorter timeframe.

Why use this software product?

Rapid ROI :

Reduce the total cost of creating courses:

  • a professional teacher, instructor, trainer or SME with little or no design experience will quickly be able to design, create, deliver and update highly interactive multimedia courses without the help of: programmers, instructional designers, graphic artists.
  • easy course maintenance that can be done economically and when required

Easy to use :

No programming required.

Easy to update :

There is no programming necessary, done as needed by non-technical experts (content or SME experts who are familiar with the curriculum); a “click and create” approach. No complicated logistics are involved.

Admissible Expense :

In Quebec: This product is considered a qualified expenditure under Bill 90 (1% of a company’s budget must be spent on training). Therefore, it is potentially 100% deductible (i.e., free!).

Instructional Framework:

An integrated instructional design methodology guides course designers through each step, allowing them to create effective courses with instructional value.

Power of Interactive Multimedia :

Interactive multimedia capabilities are integrated into the software.

Course Creation Process :

Authoring Edit covers the entire process of creating a multimedia training course, from analysis to publishing, including all of the design, production and integration steps in between. Unique functionalities distinguish this system from other authoring applications because it’s a “one stop shop:” There is no need to use any other software tools. Currently developed content you may now have that was built in Flash, Java, PowerPoint, and other tools can be incorporated into the courses you build using this product.

Accessible Online Learning:

The good news: the tools that allow this product to be used to its full potential are also becoming more accessible (digital cameras and video, 3-D animation, simulation, etc.).

Reuse of Multimedia Assets :

The media manager feature allows multimedia content from one course to be reused in another course, in the same course, or in other applications. Since this is an open, non-proprietary system, files are saved in their original formats.

Independence :

Clients that purchase this product are completely independent right from the start. In fact, it comes with its own “How to Use” course that is approximately 2 hours 15 minutes long and allows users to start creating a course without having to attend conventional classroom training.

Customer Support :

Users also can access to our support system, which includes E-mail, web site (FAQ), fax and a toll-free telephone help line.

Uses:

  • initial training,
  • continuing education,
  • as a complement to traditional training.
Online learning does not replace traditional training. Courses created with this product
  • allow course content to be standardized,
  • let trainees go further in their training
  • and
  • enables offering courses that, because of their high development costs, probably never would have been offered previously.

Innovations :

  1. synchronization tool, to maximize the effectiveness of multimedia and interactivity,
  2. a “media list,” that saves time and money by making it possible to easily manage and reuse media objects (multimedia content), and
  3. truly easy import of content created with other well-known appliations such as PowerPoint and Flash.

No Sophisticated Equipment :

This product is not technically demanding and requires basic information.

Specialized Training Tool :

It features pre-programmed training templates and includes an instructional guide/framework; there is also the option of going “free form.” There are very few training-specific software tools currently on the market.

Flexibility :

The approach is flexible: Users create their own courses or, if time or resources are lacking, clients can “outsource” course development and assume only course maintenance (updating) themselves.

Fulfills Various Needs :

This product is well suited to a variety of needs and industries; whenever online learning is appropriate, use this authoring suite to make it accessible.

A Winner!

This approach works. The proof: client references and comments, media coverage, available on request.

Expert Evaluation :

The product was evaluated by a multimedia expert from the US (Jamie Siglar), who gave it rave reviews as quoted in various articles.
...this product... “is a complete authoring suite; it includes instructional design advice (like a pre-authoring tool), media tracking, project management, outline views, and script views; and is compatible with all AICC-compliant CMI products. If you're looking for the ultimate soup-to-nuts CBT-optimized tool, this is it!... available is the Editor for subject matter experts or course designers...and the Viewer for delivery...”

No Competition :

This product has no real competition in the targeted market niche (training). It's various components have some competitors, but none combine all of the features in one package.
