Multi-User Online Course License    students

As a solution for large volume users of this course we offer several plans that may be of interest to you. These solutions are designed for corporations and universities. A minimum number of students is required to make these solutions cost effective.

Sub-Domain:

Making access and use of courses fast and easy is paramount. By having us setup a sub-domain it makes it very easy to get your training program underway. When a company needs to train 100 or more people for a curriculum we offer to setup a sub-domain on our server at no extra charge. The advantages to this offer are numerous. We do the work and will even setup the student files so the student simply logs onto the Internet, uses an assigned UserID and Password and has the content available for learning or reference use right at their fingertips. Students may log in and out whenever they want. Access is based on a term, with 1 year the norm. Each student file is kept confidential.

Another key advantage is with the sub-domain we make available to the client the ability to edit the courses they have licensed. They may opt to remove certain content or add new content themselves from their computer as html, pdf, or swf files. The edit course software is fast and easy to use with no programming skills required. By customizing the course the content can be made to fit your company's exact needs. If you need an extra hand we are available to assist.

Corporate Server:

The fastest access of content is over a corporate Intranet. It also could be you would like to add content that you feel is proprietary and want the highest level of security possible, then licensing courses and software to run on your corporate server makes a lot of sense. Each course may be licensed or purchased, as well we offer licenses for our edit course feature within our TechEdge Web-Based engine for corporate users to edit licensed courses and to develop new ones yourself using programs like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Flash. It is simple, fast and easy.

Here's the typical server requirement for a 50 concurrent user hosted connection:

NT 4/2000 Server
500mhz p2/p3/amd athlon
256 RAM (512 recommended)
IIS, PWS or compatable web server software
SQL or Access 2000 ODBC compliant database driver
Coldfusion Aplication Server 4.0 or higher  [ click here ]  for more info on coldfusion

Course Development:

There are many who would like to put content up on the Internet or on Corporate Intranets but either do not have the knowledge or the time to do it. To help we can offer onsite training, tools, and experience on how to do it in conjunction with licensing our software and courses. If you have a need for a course to be developed we also have that capability, demonstrated by the quality of the courses you see we offer, which are all made by our staff.
