Creating and Updating E-learning Using EncompassTM

Encompass makes it easy to create and update e-learning without any programming or technical thinking required. Encompass is unique in that authoring is simple, yet the range of prodcuts it can create is sophisticated. This is not a tool to create page-turners, but to create immersive learning experiences such as Character-based Simulations and Watch, Rate, & CompareTM scenarios.

The strengths of Encompass include:

Intuitive authoring, with no learning curve: Authoring is done using a simple model, in which you can see exactly what end-users will. The toolkit also features a preview mode, which allows you to replicate the full experience an end-user will have with a site or scenario, before the it is published.

No need to worry about technical things: EncompassTM handles linking so that inserting a link to another page or course within the toolkit is done by page name, not by URL--you don't need to know a thing about URLs to use this toolkit successfully. And because EncompassTM manages the links, it can ensure that none are ever broken!

Everything can be made searchable: You can index each element --a scenario, an information page, a video, and so on--can also be indexed by the author with keywords for the search engine, and then make these available to end-users via a learning portal or course-specific search.
