Author Courses Using Microsoft Office Products

The TeraLearn® publishing system tools enable your training team to design, develop and deploy web-based training using Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Authoring tools and difficult to use programming languages are optional but not necessary. This empowers instructors experienced with popular Microsoft office products to publish courseware. TeraLearn®'s publishing features provide options to your organization for decreasing development cost and time.

Content Maintenance and Updating

The shelf life of content atrophies over time. Highly volatile content such as product knowledge may require every screen of a course to be updated every six months. Overall, we estimate that on an annual basis approximately 25% your content will need to be updated and refined. TeraLearn® provides robust content management tools to allow users, instructors, developers, managers and administrators to participate in product improvement. These tools support identifying, tracking, assigning and rating criticality of content. This effectively reduces your cost of ownership of your e-learning library.

Reusable Learning Object Support

TeraLearn® allows you to easily create, manage and automatically update course objects. You can create a new course in 10 minutes or less by selecting objects from the course section library you have built.

Microsoft, PowerPoint, and Word are registered Trademarks of Microsoft
