Developers use our authoring tools to create a variety of interactive multimedia computer-based training, wen-based training and distance learning projects. Here are some ideas of what you might do:
Teach people how to operate various software packages, such as word processors, databases, etc. Both Summit and Everest have powerful screen simulation capabilities, and can accurately reproduce functionality (input fields, mouse actions, pull-down menus, etc.) of the software.
Train your worldwide sales force on your new product or service. Create the training application with Everest version 2, then post it on the Internet. Collect the usage results that Everest automatically uploads to your site, and generate reports that document who has completed the training.
Document the effectiveness of corporate training, and obtain hardcopy proof of compliance with training regulations. How? Prepare a large bank of interactive exam questions. Let Everest choose a small group of questions from the bank, and present them to the user in random order. Randomly scramble possible answers on multiple choice questions to discourage sharing of correct answers. Use Everest's administrator program to collect the results and generate printed reports.
Create an interactive travel magazine. List restaurants, tourist attractions, camp grounds, events, etc. Include motion video clips, sound bytes, etc. Sell listings or advertising within. Generate activity reports that reveal what portions of the magazine users read most often, or which advertisement they like best. Gather feedback from users on the actual places they visit.
Create an SAT-style standardized exam so high school students can practice for their college entrance examinations. Put a time limit on the completion of the exam (to simulate actual testing conditions). Compute their "SAT" score immediately, or e-mail the results to them. Post your exam on the Internet, and require them to call you for today's password; charge a fee for the password when they call.
Design a trivia contest, post it on the Internet, and award prizes to the top scorers.
Are you teaching people how to develop interactive multimedia? Use Everest in your classroom: authoring is completely free! Each student can use a copy of the authoring software at no charge. You can download it right now, and give a copy to each of your students. Everest is ideal for the classroom.
Do employees find your corporate database complex and/or difficult to use? Reduce errors and increase productivity by creating an on-line performance support system that has hypertext links to topics such as "How do I edit the customer's address in the database?" "What are acceptable reasons for issuing a refund to a customer?" "How do I find a sales person in the customer's region?" etc.
Create an interactive game that teaches people practical skills, such as balancing a checkbook, interpersonal communications, preparing a resume, caring for pets, going on a job interview, etc.
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Both Summit and Everest are ideal for interactive multimedia, especially computer-based training. PC Magazine rated Everest ahead of all other authoring tools for ease of use and flexibility of creating CBT. You can do it with Everest. Try it today with Everest Free.
