  1. Why ReadyGo

  2. ReadyGo Strategy • Companies desire: • Easy method to create courses • Courses that run on all environments • Ability for content experts to create, share, and modify generic courses • ReadyGo solution • eLearning authoring tool focused at content experts • Increase capabilities without loosing ease of use www.readygo.com

  3. Why WCB • ReadyGo looked at the needs of the content expert and created a tool to meet these needs. • ReadyGo interviewed content experts from over 200 companies. • When content experts were asked what graphic tool they were currently using the ubiquitous response was “I use a graphic artist” • When content experts were asked if they would be interested in using an authoring tool over the web the ubiquitous answer was “no way, if my company forced me to author over the web I would buy my own PC based software” www.readygo.com

  4. Why ReadyGo Uses a Dialog Box solution instead of WYSIWYG • Content experts including trainers, project manager, product mangers and HR want: • A template based solution so that development is fast • Get confused when major features are hidden in pull down menus • Instructional design built in • Output to take full advantage of the web • To create courses that could be accessed by students regardless of their IT policies (e.g. no plug-ins or pre-viewers) • One button printing of the entire course for editing and handouts. • Power users, including professional course designers, graphic artists, instructional designers and pedagogy experts want: • A tool that acts as a container eliminating the need for them to program page layout, course maps, and navigation • A tool that lets them input their own code into any page • Course pages that can be edited, post processed, and run through a search engine • Understand that a tool that builds instructionally designed material eliminates their need for designing a course structure freeing them to focus their energy on designing course content. www.readygo.com

  5. ReadyGo Output – Makes Good Web Content • Editable, searchable, web pages • Flat, navigable structure • Tiered architecture that provides access to any element within three key strokes • Site map so courses can be used for future reference • Small graphics so pages download quickly • Runs on ALL browsers including AOL without any plug-ins or downloading an environment www.readygo.com

Standards • AICC • Appendix A & B is available – January 2001 • Limitations: is designed to save a single test score per course • SCORM • Based on AICC appendix B • SCORM available– May 2001 • LRN – Microsoft • Reviewing applicability for future releases • Have not had a single customer request this capability www.readygo.com

  8. Competitive LandscapeeLearning Authoring Tools • Generic authoring tools training developers are using for eLearning • PowerPoint • Front Page • LMS vendors providing proprietary authoring tools: • Simple HTML page creators – e.g. WebCT • Sophisticated proprietary tools – Click2Learn, Mentergy, • Independent tools • ReadyGo WCB • Macromedia Dreamweaver with course builder www.readygo.com

  9. Approaches to eLearningAuthoring • PowerPoint – simple page-to-page navigation does not support quizzes, tests, or web multi-media, not searchable or editable. • PowerPoint on Steroids – simple page-to-page navigation, supports web multi-media, integrates page elements into a controlled viewing window, not searchable or editable. • ReadyGo WCB – Sophisticated multi-tiered web site, creates standard, searchable, editable, HTML pages, includes quizzes, tests, surveys, glossary, index … www.readygo.com
