Distance Learning Applications
Would your organization like to provide training courses or other educational services online? AirTight Design can help. We can develop a distance learning application that essentially create an entire university online for your organization. You may offer numerous courses, include multimedia in course materials, track student progress and administer course materials.
Every distance learning application we build is custom-designed for your needs. If you intend to offer your students continuing education credits for their coursework, we can accommodate that requirement. If your data must be AICC or SCORM compliant, this is not a problem. Whatever special requirements you have, AirTight Design can satisfy them.
The online learning applications that we develop are designed to serve diverse cultural and ethnic groups. The applications can be written for students who speak English, Spanish or French. Soon our applications will serve populations who speak other languages. We also recognize that many of the students will be accessing these applications from rural areas and therefore we design sites to load very quickly, function properly in old browsers, and meet internationally recognized usability standards.
Distance learning applications that AirTight Design develops allow students to do any of the following:
- Create accounts
- Search for classes by subject area, credit hours or other criteria.
- Register for classes and pay for them using a credit card
- Keep track of continuing education credits they have earned
- View online certificates for the classes they have completed
- Review course materials that they have already completed
- Provide feedback on course materials and the application itself
Distance learning applications that AirTight Design develops allow administrators to do any of the following:
- Manage students
- Add and edit courses, write descriptions for them and update other course metadata
- Edit lessons within a course
- Edit pages within a lesson
- View detailed reports on course enrollment, student demographics
- Review student feedback and compile statistics on average ratings
Custom vs. Out-of-the-box
AirTight Design looks for the simplest, most affordable solution to our clients' problems. Whenever possible, we use open source applications that are secure, scalable and will meet the client's needs. Often we are able to use a proven application as the basis for our solution, saving the client thousands of dollars.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
We stand behind the applications we develop because we build them carefully and test them thoroughly before launch. When possible, we develop online applications that you can maintain yourself, but if you need our maintenance services, we can perform the work for you on an hourly basis. As your company's needs change, we can revise the application to meet those needs.
