The eTutor Training Environment

eTutor is used to deliver a course on-site in an instructor-led classroom setting. The customer's trainer is present in classroom for the training session to act as the instructor. Two options for the classroom environment are possible, depending on the facilities available:

• Students can watch the course on a TV monitor at the front of the classroom, OR
• Students may each have a PC they use to take the course

The design of the eTutor system enables the training supplier to maintain usage control over training content in a single location at the suppliers facilities. Use fees, access restrictions, or certification requirements can be associated with the eTutor course material and only authorized personnel can acquire them. eTutor insures that the correct course version for the particular training session is used when multiple course versions are available, and accurately captures (or records) what training each participant has received. 

To get started with the eTutor system, the trainer (or trainers):

ü       Phase 1 trains the trainer on the subject matter to be trained so that the trainer becomes proficient and capable of effective course delivery

ü       Phase 2 of the training course covers how to use eTutor to establish the trainer’s competency with eTutor, and to insure that trainer is able to effectively use the eTutor-enabled training environment in subsequent training sessions

In operation, the trainer follows these simple steps to present a training course using eTutor:

1. Select the eTutor course for the training session 
2. Open the eTutor Instructor's Guide for that course, that includes: 
   • Visual cues 
   • Course script 
   • Online quizzes and tests 
   • Student screen controls 
3. Insure the students are present and ready 
4. Give the course, following the course script 
5. Administer tests if required 
6. Collect student responses and attendance

The eTutor instructor selects a course from the available selection list. This opens the eTutor Instructor's Guide from which the course is controlled. This guide provides the instructor with visual cues for the various components of the course, a text script, and the controls to issue slides, web pages, animation, video, or any other object that can be displayed in a web page. 

The CADE Learning Management Web collects student responses. These responses can include, for example, answers to questions that are scripted as part of the instructors guide and asked during the course, or the results of a test given online after the conclusion of the class.
