- There are two TraineeTracker products: TraineeTracker Enterprise
and TraineeTracker Express. They
offer functionality to support the LMS needs of a variety of organizations.
What does TraineeTracker
do?
-
TraineeTracker provides
the three "R"s of modern LMS: 1) Registration, 2) Routing,
and 3) Reporting.
-
Registration
allows students to self-enroll for training courses, or it enables
an administrator/manager to enroll students.
-
Routing allows
students to be directed to courses they are authorized to take.
Administrators/managers can control the order in which students
take courses based on criteria, such as prerequisite lessons
and test scores.
-
Reporting
allows students to obtain summaries of test scores and the training
they've completed (history). Administrators can see summaries
for all students. Managers can see summaries for the students
for whom they are responsible.
Who uses TraineeTracker and how?
There are three
levels of TraineeTracker users: system administrators, who install
and maintain the software, managers, and students. Using TraineeTracker,
students can access interactive training any time or anywhere
they have Internet/Web access. Administrators and managers use
TraineeTracker to assign training courses to students and to
track student progress and test scores from any place in the
world they have Internet/Web access.
What makes TraineeTracker
different from other LMS systems?
-
TraineeTracker has
three major design goals:
-
Be developed using
hardware and software that is supported worldwide by Internet
Service Providers (ISPs).
-
Run on Windows
NT and Linux platforms.
-
Have the ability
to eventually convert into the Open
Source model.
-
Current TraineeTracker
development and deployment is with Windows NT using ColdFusion
and MS Access or SQL Server databases. This allows it to be deployed
by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who support ColdFusion and
ODBC databases without having to add special software to the ISP
server.
-
Future versions of
TraineeTracker will use ColdFusion and Linux with the MySQL database. Another plan for the future
is that TraineeTracker will have a PHP
version in addition to the ColdFusion version running with Linux
and MySQL.
-
TraineeTracker is
compatible with courses developed in popular authoring tools.
Some minor modifications are required by the TraineeTracker System
Administrators that Web pages developed using tools such as Dreamweaver
and CourseBuilder will work with TraineeTracker:
-
Change all .HTM
and .HTML files extensions to .CFM (to provide security for
the Web pages).
-
For each Web page
to be tracked (displayed in a history file when a student
accesses that page), a one-line piece of code must be inserted
into the Web page.
-
For scores (from
tests built with tools such as CourseBuilder) to be posted
to the database, certain changes may have to be made to Web
pages containing quizzes.
