LMW Architecture

Microsoft .Net XML Web Services

The CADE Learning Management Web has based its SCORM support with the latest technologies from Microsoft. It is based on the new .Net architecture, XML Web Services, and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) communication. By using these technologies, the CADE Learning Management Web takes advantage of Microsoft's (and the world's) huge investment in their products to improve the speed and capability of web based applications while retaining the simplicity of a browser based interface.

Integration with Database

The CADE Learning Management Web accommodates web based training and provides "hooks" into the database so the results of web courses can be captured and stored in the same database as the interactive satellite system uses. Web courses developed internally or purchased from 3rd party suppliers can be integrated with the system to capture the results in a common repository.

Security

Information throughout the system is maintained in a SQL Server database. Access to this information over the internet is managed exclusively through Active Server Pages (.asp). Only people with an authorized logon and password have access to the web site itself. The individual's logon and password are encrypted and stored in the CADE database.

Based on the identification of a specific individual and the rights associated with that individual, they are provided access to only that information they are authorized to have and nothing else. No hacker can "open" an asp and get access to information that is not there.

Site Appearance

CADE Learning Management Web was designed to be used by a variety of different companies or organizations at the same time. As such it is aware of who is using its functions and changes itself accordingly.

Colors and Graphics

This web site uses cascading style sheets to control these visual attributes, allowing "looks" to be easily changed or new ones added depending on the rules that have been established by the various companies involved in the operation of CADE Web Access. It can change its color, images, fonts, and overall style depending on who logs on to it and where they come from.

Local Help

Whenever you see this symbol on the upper right corner of the page (or the [Help] button if you are using Netscape) it means additional help available to you for that specific application. Click on it and a window will open with additional information that will help you understand the various functions of the page.

Common Functions

The most commonly used functions are always located in a menu on the left side of the screen so that no matter where a participant is, those functions are easily accessible.

Integration

CADE Learning Management Web is designed to integrate both the interactive satellite based training and web based training into a common database. Any web based training program can be used in the system and the data captured in the database provided that the test questions are asked through the web integration system.

Bandwidth Requirements

The site uses very little network communication resources under normal use. Only the streaming audio/video presentations that may be included in web based training courses will require more than a 56kb connection. There is no requirement to use these applications and it is the choice of the companies involved in the operation of CADE Web Access whether to incorporate streaming audio/video into their web based training programs.

Learning Management Web Host

The CADE Learning Management Web runs on Microsoft NT or 2000 Server running the Internet Information Server and FTP Server. It incorporates an industry standard database, giving users a choice of either Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Access database to manage and store the training information.

Licensing

The CADE Learning Management Web is a software package that provides learning management functions to companies of all sizes. The licensing structure is very simple... there is a one-time license fee no matter how many seats or users there are in the system.

A support license is optional depending on the other CADE products purchased. If a company is also a user of the CADE Studio Control and Virtual Classrooms, the support license is built into their support contract and there is no additional license for the Learning Management Web. If the Learning Management Web is used stand-alone, the support license is based on the customer's hardware and configuration and any additional customization requested.

Technical Support

Learn.Net provides web development services to organizations involved with interactive satellite and web based distance learning. Support is available for any aspect of the CADE Learning Management Web's operation with a toll-free HelpDesk 877-694-HELP (4357).
