Allowing a greater number of companies the ability to implement multiple educational methodologies by leveraging existing materials and re-using content for delivery to a student's preferred media.
The Source Training's Eight-for-One System The Source Training works with companies to take their existing training content and develop a set of source files that allows the content to be deployed in 8 media-rich training systems. All 8 systems are driven from this central set of files, which means updates to the materials are centrally done. If the materials require translation, this is also done centrally. In other words, authored once, deployed 8 ways...revised once, deployed 8 ways...translated once, deployed eight ways. The eight deployment methods are listed below: |

Computer-based Training (CBT) One of the 8 media types (platforms) that The Source Training creates from your 'source' files is engaging computer-based training. To help replace a live instructor, CBTs can include audio, video, flash movies, zoomable graphics, and 'virtual professors'. The CBTs may contain any or all of our 7 module types. The Source Training can secure your content through CBT licensing. This licensing can be defined by number of users, per machine, number of runs, etc. |

Distance-learning (DistantSource) Our
distance-learning system, 'DistantSource'
allows you to utilize your single set of 'source' files to synchronously
train students online. The presentations may include video, flash animations,
static graphics, etc. Students may use video, audio, and/or text to
interact with instructors. Distant Source also includes whiteboard and
chat capabilities. |

 |
Instructor-led Presentation Materials Instructor-led materials include manuals and presentation materials which are all created from your single set of 'source' files. This means the content of a student's manual matches exactly with the instructor's presentation (and other versions of the materials), making it extremely easy for students to follow instructors' presentations and to have a blended learning experience without the worries of inconsistencies across media types. |

|

 |
Web-based Training (WBT) Using your single set of 'source' files, your curriculum can be deployed over the web. WBT can include audio, video, flash movies, zoomable graphics, and 'virtual professors'. Custom authentication to a backend database assures that students only have access to those courses that are designed for their use. WBT modules may be integrated into LMS systems. |

Documentation Since all training materials are created in a modular fashion, custom documentation can quickly be created by choosing modules cafeteria-style using our online proofing and manual assembly capabilities. Just-in-Time delivery allows you to order customized manuals as late as 10:00 pm Eastern for delivery the next day. |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
 |
Mobile Learning (Pocket PC-based) By using industry standard development tools we can also deploy your single set of 'source' files via Pocket PC. This allows students to take their learning with them on the road. This content may be stored locally or on a remote web server for wireless access and secure authentication. |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
Video/DVD The Source Training can allow you to take your single set of 'source' files and create a media-rich video or dvd from the materials. Since all materials may be updated by simply updating the central set of 'source' files, no longer is it a challenge to keep all media types in sync. |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
MP3-based Learning The Source Training can create MP3 versions of your 'source' files which allows students to truly take training whenever or wherever they may find themselves. The modular nature of the materials allows students to quickly access those sections that are relevant to their responsibilities. learn more (under construction)>>
