Powerful,
built-in learning management system (LMS)
A powerful feature of Design-a-Course
is its built-in student registration and student-tracking
database. Simply access your account, via MindIQ’s
web account management interface, and you can add,
change, or remove students. In addition, you choose
what information you want to collect from them (i.e.
employee number, department, phone number, etc).
1-click
publishing
Courses are published to
your personalized and secure web URL with the click
of a single button.
No programming
or scripting to learn
We've made Design-a-Course
so simple to use that no special programming is necessary
to develop your courses.
Unique
access levels
Student, Professor, Administrator,
and much more!
With unique groups and user access, you have total control over your
coursewares design, development, and execution.
Four
different types of questions with feedback
Designers have an
unlimited choice between Multiple Choice, True/False,
Select All That Apply, or Fill-in-the-Blank questions.
You also have the ability to provide unique feedback
for correct and incorrect responses to questions.
Question
weighting
Each question can have its
own weighting. This weighting will influence the
students’ final score.
Question
randomization
You have the option to group
questions into pools and randomize their occurrence.
This allows you to keep one student from seeing the
exact same test as another student.
Automated
scoring and tracking
Design-a-Course even grades
the user's tests, stores the results, and tracks
the progress of all your students. The assigned Professor
can instantly monitor student progress, check course
scores, view question averages, and much more using
any Internet browser, anywhere in the world, and
at anytime of the day! Results can also be exported
to a standard .CSV format, which in turn can be imported
into your current database or spreadsheet application.
Automatic
bookmarking
Bookmarking lets
students quit the course at any time and allows them
to return
exactly where they exited the course.
Automated
spell checker
Spell checker is built into
the software.
Advanced
design capabilities
For the more advanced courseware
developer, course pages can be designed and built
in any HTML editor such as Dreamweaver™ or Hot
Metal™, imported into the Design-a-Course Author,
and easily uploaded for student access. The finished
courses can be simplistic in design or can include
motion graphics, Flash animations, sound, and video.
It's limited only by your creativity!
Cut and
Paste support
Course developers can cut
and paste from existing documentation and applications
such Word™ or PowerPoint™ content.
Multimedia
support
Use existing graphics, audio
and video files.
User-defined
glossary
You can create your own glossary
to assist your students while taking courses.

spots" and hyperlinks to access other parts of the
