Learning Management Web Key Features

Web Based Access to All CADE Information

The CADE Learning Management Web (LMW) is the foundation for the CADE system.  All information can be created, modified, or deleted through the LMW.  The LMW contains such information as:

  • Sites, People, Locations, Phones, E-Mail, Web Pages
  • Courses, Lessons, Exams, Questions, Prerequisites, Schedules
  • Training Assignments, Registration, Student Results, History
  • Messages, Discussions, Chats
  • Roles, Menus, Functions, Code Descriptions

There are no seat licenses, the entire corporation can use the LMW and access all it's features based on the permissions the customer controls.  

 

Web Access to CADE Database Creation, Maintenance, and Reporting 

The Learning Management Web (LMW) is the portal to all information in the CADE database. It is where users can create courses, lessons, tests, questions, enter site and student information, display results, produce reports, register students, view history, and anything else associated with the system. The LMW allows access for an unlimited number of seats, anywhere on web, and includes a SCORM run-time environment for SCORM compliant courses.

Web Based Authoring Tools

The LMW provides web-based forms to create courses, lessons, tests, and questions for satellite broadcast.  Developers can access course information anywhere they have access to a browser.  Course developers can restrict access by other developers to the courses they create.

 

more

Course/Lesson Templates and Program Dashboard

New developers can benefit from CADE's ability to automatically create new courses or lessons based on the desired type of program the developer wishes to create.  A "Dashboard" is also available so the developer can tell at a glance what has been done, what needs to be done, and what they might want to think about doing.

 

more

Full-Function Learning Management System

In addition to acting as the foundation of the CADE Interactive Distance Learning system, the LMW is also a full-function Learning Management System (LMS).  It's features and capabilities compare extremely well with any of the LMS's on the market today.  Take a look at the checklist and see just some of it's capabilities.

Customer Controlled Look, Feel, Content

The Learning Management Web is largely generated by the information in the CADE database.  Information that may be changed by the client.  The following items can be changed by the customer:

  • User roles, function assignment to user roles, access levels
  • Menus, functions, forms requirements, on-line help
  • Coded descriptions, drop down menu selections
  • Background/foreground color, fonts, font sizes
  • Graphics, logos, bullets, standard icons

Custom Reports and Database Access 

All student interaction is captured, timestamped, and stored in a web-accessible database immediately as it occurs.  The information can be retrieved through a variety of standard reports as well as a custom reporting function of the LMW. All attendance, test results, registration, and completion information can be displayed by entering criteria that the user defines. This criteria can be selected from courses, lessons, regions, departments, job codes, date ranges, student names, IDs, and status. Reports can optionally be generated in pdf format. If more elaborate reports are necessary, Learn.Net provides the database schema and various views so customers can extract information and create their own reports directly from the CADE database.

Manage Sites & People Remotely

Companies don't need to manage the site and person information from a central location if they don't want to.  The LMW allows people and site information to be maintained by the remote sites so the management of information can be decentralized to the locations that are responsible for the information.

 

Electronic Instructor's Guide 

An Electronic Instructor's Guide can be created through the Learning Management Web (LMW) to store notes, bullet points, PowerPoint slides, computer animation, graphics, spreadsheets, web pages, and more. The instructor's guide can be printed to use as a coordination document with the control room personnel as well as displayed on-screen during a broadcast so the instructor always has access to the course material where its most needed.

 

more

Displayable Media Capture, Storage, and Display

The Instructor's Guide not only provides on-screen help, it also allows developers to assign displayable media, questions, slides, graphics, animations, web pages, documents, etc., to components and store them in the database.  All displayable components of a live broadcast can be captured and stored for repeated use.

Active Directory Authentication & Database Update

The CADE system can optionally communicate with Active Directory to authenticate users rather than using validation from the CADE database.  In addition to authentication, the CADE database can be automatically populated with the required information from Active Directory.  This means personnel in the CADE database are automatically maintained.

 

more

Prerecorded, Interactive Broadcasts 

Programs can be stored at the studio and broadcast on a schedule maintained in the LMW. At the scheduled time, a Studio Control program will automatically start a course and issue questions in synch with the recorded program. Students would log on and respond to the instructor's questions with their wireless remote controls just as if it were a live broadcast. Student attendance, responses, and completion information are timestamped and stored in the CADE database as part of the student's training history. This training history is also made available for reporting and analysis for authorized personnel.

 

more

On-Demand to the Desktop 

Video archives can be retrieved and played on-demand with interaction synchronized with the video so when the instructor asks a question on the video, the student is prompted for a response by PC. Student responses are timestamped and stored in the CADE database and made part of the student's training history. This need not be the Virtual Classroom PC and can be any PC connected to the network. Achieves may be stored on the Virtual Classroom PC, a disk server, Helius router, or any other network storage device.

SCORM Run-Time Environment

The LMW can import and launch SCORM compliant courses.  It has implemented all the required and optional API's defined by SCORM.  All results from SCORM courses are captured and stored in the CADE database just like any other type of training.

Customer Controlled Look, Feel, Content

The Learning Management Web is largely generated by the information in the CADE database.  Information that may be changed by the client.  The following items can be changed by the customer:

  • User roles, function assignment to user roles, access levels
  • Menus, functions, forms requirements, on-line help
  • Coded descriptions, drop down menu selections
  • Background/foreground color, fonts, font sizes
  • Graphics, logos, bullets, standard icons

Unlimited User Defined Roles

The CADE Learning Management Web allows for the customization of job codes.  Each employee may be assigned a job code or codes.   Administrators can create a "Plan of Study", enroll a specific group in a course, communicate, or track participants by job code group.  Functions can be defined that are unique to each role.

 

more

User Defined Functions

There are an unlimited number of functions (applications) that can be defined for each user role in the LMW.  A standard set of functions is predefined but new functions can be added, existing ones removed or modified. 

 

Recorded Audio Questions & Answers

During the course of a broadcast it is not always possible or feasible to answer all questions that might arise.  The CADE Virtual Classroom program will allow learners to record questions through the PC microphone which are reviewed at a later time by topic experts, who may be located anywhere in the world, via the internet.

Learners may ask questions that are then stored by a central server.  Authorized topic experts may then review the questions in their area of expertise and record an answer for the learner to hear at their own leisure.  When a learner logs on to the the web site, a notification message will alert them that an answer has been recorded for them.  The learner can then hear their original question and then the topic expert's answer as many time as they like until they choose to delete the recordings.

 

eBroadcast Presentations

Any course, as well as for general information,  may include an eBroadcast Presentation.  An eBroadcast Presentation is a web based presentation that allows an instructor to issue slides in real-time to many different participants over the internet.  As the instructor changes slides, the page on each participant's browser automatically changes at the same time.  Audio is heard over the internet at each participant's site through multi-media computers.  Optionally, video can also be sent with the audio but this requires significantly more bandwidth.  

Presentation Archives

eBroadcast Presentations may also be archived so you may view them again at a later time.  These presentations can be made available as part of a course or to the general population.
