CourseAvenue FAQs: Product Overview

What is the CourseAvenue Learning Suite? [Top]

Three products that work together that allow customers to create eLearning courseware: Studio, Deliver and Analyze
.
- Studio allows you to create a wide array of eLearning courseware
- The Deliver component is where learners login to enroll, manage their transcript, launch learning
- Analyze provides detailed reporting on assessment as they are executed by the learners
We already have a Learning Management System (LMS) do I have to use your "Deliver" product? [Top]

No. CourseAvenue Studio produces AICC and SCORM compliant courseware (in addition to CD/DVD and simple web-based delivery) that can be delivered through your LMS.
What does it take to install the CourseAvenue Learning Suite? [Top]

There is nothing to install. The entire product is available as a subscription and can be managed via a web browser.
What options are available for CourseAvenue Deliver? [Top]

We understand there are a vast range of needs when it comes to delivering learning. For example, some organizations simply want to track "who took what courses when…and what score did they get". On the other extreme, learning is a piece of an overall performance management system driven by an extensive competency model.

To meet this wide range of needs, CourseAvenue Deliver can be configured to provide everything from very simple "launch and track" functionality to richer LMS features (i.e. prescriptive learning, certifications, instructor led management), to a complete human capital management system (i.e. competency and performance management).

In addition, the solution can adapt as your business needs change - starting simple and growing in complexity over time - without installing software.
Is there a proprietary "plug-in" required for CourseAvenue software? [Top]

No. CourseAvenue courseware simply uses the standard Adobe (Macromedia) Flash player which is already installed on the vast majority of browsers.
Our LMS tracks course completion and scores from assessments - why would I use your "Analyze" product? [Top]

The LMS traditionally stores "pass fail" and "percent correct" data. However, this information is not adequate when trying to analyze your learning content. CourseAvenue Analyze allows you to store every response to every assessment question by every learner. As a result, you will be enabled to assess the effectiveness of the learning by answering questions like: "What question did most users get wrong?" and "What was the most common response to question 2" and "What percent of learners got question 4 correct on the pre-assessment versus the post-assessment?".
Do you support the Mac? [Top]

Yes, as long as your Mac is using an Internet browser with the Adobe Flash player.
Can we host the entire CourseAvenue learning suite behind our firewall? [Top]

Yes, this is an option for purchases in excess of $30,000 (USD). Please note that there are a number of different hosting configurations available. For example, one popular configuration involves a hosted version of CourseAvenue is used for content creation and the resulting courseware is published to a server behind your firewall for delivery to your learner population.
