Knowledge Direct is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for developing, delivering, and administering training content in multiple languages over the Internet based on Web 2.0 technology.
Knowledge Direct delivers a cost effective alternative to traditional instructor-led training, eliminating costs incurred for travel, facilities, time away from work, trainers, administration, and printed course materials.
Knowledge Direct uses Microsoft PowerPoint to create online courses, which can be distributed to e-learners on the web, on an MP3 player, or by cell phone.
Offers an affordable alternative to instructor-led courses
In today's economy where budget cuts are commonplace, it can be a challenge to meet your organization's training needs at a reasonable cost. Knowledge Direct is an affordable and cost-effective alternative to instructor-led courses, making it a very attractive learning management system for many organizations struggling to meet increasing training demands with a shrinking budget.
Increases the speed of creating and deploying learning
"Keep it simple" is the guiding principle behind Knowledge Direct. There is no learning curve and no technical skills are needed to become proficient in using all areas of the system. Users can quickly develop and post self-paced training for their students, and then monitor their progress without the aid of programmers, database administrators, or other technical personnel.
Built-in content authoring
For creating eLearning, Knowledge Direct includes an authoring tool that works with Microsoft® PowerPoint®. Using PowerPoint, you can create slides of content or use an existing presentation; insert Knowledge Direct's interactive learning activities, test questions and scenarios; and then Save As a Flash-based eLearning module. It's that easy to build training in Knowledge Direct!
Hands-free administration
After you have created your modules and courses, Knowledge Direct lets you easily manage your learning programs and students, providing built-in eCommerce, automated student registration, a test creation wizard, and real-time monitoring of student progress and course completions.
