FlexTraining consists of two separate applications, both
sharing a common database:
Management
Center :
Set system configuration values,
establish policies, define courses, tests, and assignments, build course guide,
schedule classes, assign instructors, approve enrollments, run reports, and
monitor classes. Management Center
is also used to define Dynamic Messages and to author training content.
Student Module:
Register for a class, sign on to
your class, view course content, navigate through (or download) the course
guide, receive assignments, take online tests, track your progress online, make
entries in a personal Course Notebook, or jump to the Discussion Forum.
The two applications share student and class data, but each
has its own separate address on the web server and its own separate security.
The installation procedure installs both modules.
