Wtds, web training development system from Intec GMBH Munich

INFORMATION :

1. General Technology

The WTDS Product Package is a new generation of products allowing registered users
to independently create customized training programs without any prior knowledge of
programming.
The following courses are offered in an INTERNET / INTRANET / or local ( CD ) environ-
ment where only a browser is needed for runtime.
Special Compression/conversion technologies as well as streaming, threading and fra-
ming and other new technologies are used to provide the best performance also for a
slow WEB SPEED ( down to the usage of a 56K Modem ) .
The Off-line Course Generator allows a user to create custom off-line courses for use where there is no WEB or Network available. ( just run it on your local drive or from CD )
ASP Service Solutions ( Application Service Provider ) by INTEC allows the creation
and offering of courseware without initial investments for expensive web servers and their
continuous high bandwidth connection.
Users may build an accounting system to offer
a monthly account to create invoices and/or billing for non free courses.
The Enterprise Version allows companies using their own web server to create custom
course development and to offer these courses to their employees or the public through
the World Wide Web or the Intranet, as well as in combination with the Off-line Course
Generator, Runtime on CD, or on a local hard drive.


General Features of the WTDS ( Web Training Developer Package )
All development in WTDS is online with a web server and can be done from any loca-
tion using the WTDS developer's license.
Based on the speed of a web server, a Relational Database is holding all objects used in
the courses developed with the WTDS.
Developers are allowed to query by match code on all objects through a HTTP connection,
regardless if the object is an image, sound file, animation etc. ( Its easy to find existing
objects for exchanging/updating or reusing them in other courses )
A special compression/decompression technology allows the developer to down size the
object and retrieve information regarding speed of the training pages for a given transfer
rate.
Also, the original data from the object can be stored for use in an intranet/high speed net-
work without compression/decompression.
A user may access local objects directly from a local hard disk, i.e. pictures from a camera,
sound files, etc. These may be uploaded as objects to the Course Database by using just
a standard browser.

Within the Enterprise Version we deliver to the client to run the courses on an online
WEBSERVER with an integrated high speed multimedia database ( ORACLE8i ) . No
more files are handled and created. The contents of the objects are directly passed to
the browser without creating a temporary file ( this speeds the whole process up )
If you are not using the Enterprise Version we will offer you this setup of a high sp-
eed Web server connection and the WEB SERVER as well as the database space as
an ASP ( Application Service Provider ) .
Acounting and Security Module
For WEBTRAINING there are 2 kinds of user profiles available.
The developer profile can be set for any course or only for particular courses per develo-
pment user.
Simple user profiles which are connected to an account and where the available courses
are set as well as the expiration date, passwords etc.
Users can be assigned to an existing account where the accounting information is stored.
If you are the developer of a training course you can decide per account what courses
you offer and if they are for free or if you want to charge for it.
If some courses are not available for free you can set up an accounting scheme where
you can bill either for a certain time while the user is valid or per course pages used within
a certain course.
Detailed information is available for you to charge to your clients or enter an amount avai-
lable ( which you got prepaid for ) and the system will calculate the available balance by
accounting per web page or time period of usage.
