Top Ten Reasons to Use Autovod

1. Rapid e-Learning design, publishing and delivery process requiring no technical knowledge

The user-friendly graphical interface, (AV|Producer) incorporates a workflow-driven, but customizable, process, which simplifies the steps and access to all the necessary publishing tools and functions. The intuitive process along with contextual assistance support you at every step of the authoring process.

2. Use of e-Learning to extend training and knowledge globally to employees, customers and partners

AV|OnDemand is designed with the needs of various target groups from a small, single workgroup to a global multilngual enterprise in mind. The AV|OnDemand patented process enables authoring and delivery of content in over 25 languages.

3. Easily incorporate complex media into e-Learning courses

Complex media, such as simulations, collaborative tools, interactions, Flash and streaming media can be easily integrated and synchronized within your project. AV|OnDemand dramatically reduces the complexity of inclusion and synchronization of complex media. AV|OnDemand radically simplifies the process for synchronizing multimedia with massive numbers of associated links (hypermedia) which enhance personalized navigation and knowledge transfer by mimicking the associative learning behaviour of the human mind.

4. Measurement of e-Learning content based on its impact on business results

The learning modules provided by AV|OnDemand are fully tracked and reported down to a keystroke level by each user. This feature provides assesssment of learning results, proves compliance and and also informs the process of subsequent content maintenance, editing, refinement and augmentation to support future e-learning and workplace performance.

5. E-Learning designed to support and enhance informal learning in the workplace

Informal learning and workplace performance support constitute around 80% of all knowledge transfer. AV|OnDemand supports informal learning with a combination of integrated, unlimited downloadable documents and files and an integrated search function on every word in both the e-learning and downloadable content in the AV|Microportal. Word-driven searches reveal all contextual locations of the desired content, making just-in-time learning simple. Uniquely, Autovod has extended this search function to audio and video content and automatically launches this synchronized media content at a search word level, bringing audio and video media, for the first time, into the just-in-time learning experience.

6. Preview function to produce iterative prototypes for refinement and approvals

An unlimited capability to build and preview iterative prototypes of an e-learning project (AV|Microportal), even before the availibility of final content (through full placeholder support for all media types, including synchronized types) facilitates major reductions of time-to-publish and major increases in course quality through iterative storyboarding, rapid collaboration, and approvals.

7. Integrated workflow, project management , learning content management (LCMS) and learning management (LMS) systems

A simple, single user interface (AV|Producer) to all integrated modules of AV|OnDemand including Workflow, Project Management, a Learning Content Management System (AV|LCMS) and a Learning Management System (AV|LMS), reduces the complexity and expense of separate, multiple functions.

8. Software-as-a-Service Delivery

All Autovod software and your completed projects are delivered as a service over the web. This means that there is no hardware or software to install, the entire platform is deployed instantly as a faster path to business benefits and ROI. The hosted model reduces fixed costs and expenses for personnel, hardware, applications and systems management. Clients do not need to divert resources from their core business. Clients pay a single, monthly fee for a reliable, predictable service.

9. Use of a process that allows as few as one person (rather than teams of specialists) to produce interactive e-learning content

The AV|OnDemand publishing process reduces the traditional planning, design, production, evaluation, delivery and maintenance teams comprised of roles such as subject matter experts, instructional designers, interface designers, web programmers, graphic designers, editors, multimedia editors, project managers etc to as few as one person resulting in rapid development times and reduced costs.

10. Embedded, contextual assistance (AV|Assist) throughout the entire publishing process

Virtual live, embedded, contextual assistance at all points of decision offer performance support for Autovod authors to produce high quality e-learning courseware and referenceware rapidly and cost-effectively.
