Course Resources

    CourseSpaces makes it easy for you to provide Learners access to:

  • Course documents
  • Links to websites
  • Suggested readings
  • Course contacts

Continued growth of course content

CourseSpaces allow presenters and attendees to continually add new resources and material to a course. This continual growth (and refinement) of course content ensures the value of the course also increases over time.

Allows attendees to submit content securely

CourseSpaces offers a secure way for attendees to submit documents such as course assignments.

Connect your content to Microsoft Outlook

Synchronize information from within a CourseSpace (contacts, documents, calendar) into Microsoft Outlook 2007. Work on the content offline and synchronize it back to the site when you reconnect to the Internet.

Search course material

Easily search for content within the CourseSpace by using the built in Search tool. It not only searches file names, it also searches content within the documents.

Design and Management

Customisable design

CourseSpaces are fully customisable, meaning you can make them as simple as a place to store course documents, or a fully featured online collaborative environment for a course. Create pages, add and remove content on pages, even move items around on the page.

Automated Access

The learners are granted a secure access logon to the CourseSpace automatically as part of the registration process. The process also includes an automated email directing the learners to the CourseSpace site. Easy!

Communication and Collaboration

Share ideas and collaborate online

    Extend classroom led courses and facilitate communication and collaboration online using:

  • Discussions / forums
  • Course wiki
  • Course blog
  • Live messenger integration

Keeps everyone Informed

    The CourseSpace Announcements and Activities Calendar can be used to keep learners and presenters informed.
