| Becoming
the Group Manager |
|
If you are ordering a course for several
people to take, or even if you are
ordering one course for someone other
than yourself to take, you will
register as a ‘group user’
and will become the Group Manager for
the account. That simply means you
will enroll the other students and
assign the courses, all of which is
very easy. For more information on
being a Group Manager, see the
detailed information below. |
| Ordering
the courses. |

- Browse through the courses by category to find the products you want,
or search for products by keyword.
- Add
courses to your shopping cart, and
set the quantity you need per

to train, set quantity at ‘3’.
If you have three people plus
yourself, set quantity at ‘4’,
etc. Click ‘Checkout’ when
you’re ready to order your
courses.

place an order you’ll be asked

address should be your login, and
you’ll add your own password.
You should enroll as a ‘group

| Registering a Group of Users
|
|
If you are a manager of a small group of employees that need training,
even if it is only one employee, you can easily enroll your group. When you purchase courses, simply order a quantity per course that
equals the number of students for the training. The person who purchases the courseware access will automatically be assigned as the
Group Manager.

| What does it mean to be a Group Manager?
|
|
The Group Manager will have the following duties and opportunities:
- to enroll each student/employee
- to assign courses to each student
- to create the notification email
- to track the progress of each student
- to see the final exam results and print completion certificates of each student
How to do the above items is explained in detail once
you have purchased courses and entered the system, but here is a quick review:
- Enrolling students requires entering only their name, login and a password - you
may also designate a department or location if you wish.
- When enrolling each student you will assign which course(s) each student is to take,
based on the courses and quantities you ordered.
- Email notification (which you may customize) is sent automatically to each student with instructions for accessing the training
- When tracking the progress of your students, you will be able to view a profile of each student, containing
the courses assigned to them, their progress with each course and the results of final tests.

Selecting your Courses
|
|
Courses are organized by DIVISION, CATEGORY and SUBCATEGORY.
You may either 'browse' the categories, or use the 'search' box and enter a keyword.
On each product page you'll receive a description of the product.
Once you have found the course or courses you wish to take, click the icon to 'add to cart'.
Add the desired quantity based on the number of users you wish to have take each course.
The quantity number can vary by course ordered. Once you have entered the system you will
be able to assign the courses you've selected to the people you will enroll.
NOTE: If you, as the Group Manager, would also like to take a course you must include
a 'seat' for yourself when designating the quantity. For example, if you have 5 employees
but wish to also take the course yourself, you must order a quantity of 6. |

Accessing the Training
|
|
As soon as you have placed your order, two things will happen:
1. You'll see an 'Order Confirmation' screen that will include all order information.
Print that screen for your records .
2. You will also receive the same information via email, to the email address you provide. Be sure your anti-Spam email manager is not blocking emails from this site!

|
Taking the Courses
|
|
Each course is made available to your students for a specific time frame.
1. Each student will be given 90 days to access each course. If courses are not accessed within 90 days,
they will expire. By 'access a course', we mean begin
to take the course material by opening the first module.
2. Once a course is accessed for the first time, the student will have 30 days to complete the course and take the final
exam. This 30-day clock is applied to each course and each student separately.
If you wish to enroll students for multiple courses at once, be sure they are able to begin and complete the courses according
to this schedule.
The average course takes about an hour to complete, based on course content, user behavior and connection speed.

Tracking your Students
|
|
Once you've logged into the Group Manager section you'll learn how the reporting works. When
tracking the progress of your students, you will be able to view a profile of each student, containing the
courses assigned to them, their progress with each course and the results of final tests.

Final Test and Completion Certificate
|
|
Only after students have completed the full course will they be given access to the final test. The final tests are thorough and based specifically on the course content. Final tests can be taken up to three times at the choice of the student – the system will retain the highest score achieved.
Once a student completes the final test they will be shown their grade. Their grade will also be recorded in the
system for the Group Manager to review.
Along with seeing their final grade, the student will be able to print their 'Completion Certificate'.
The Completion Certificate is just that - a statement that the student completed the course. While it
displays the grade of the student, it does not make any assertions as to the student's mastery of the content.
The completion certificate is not intended as a certification of the student's skill or knowledge level.
The Group Manager will also be able to print a copy of each Completion Certificate.
Even after completing the final exam (up to three times) each student will have continued access to the course material for the balance of the 30 days allowed per course.

As an added benefit, we will keep track of the courses you order for your business.
Each time you return to eCampus you'll be able to access your 'Personal Profile'
and view the courses you have purchased.
As the Group Manager, your login to the Group Manager area will remain active after your courses
have been completed. This will allow you to maintain a comprehensive view of all the courses your
employees participate in at eCampus.
