FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The following is a functional overview of MAG10 LMS.
Training Modules
The MAG10 LMS is comprised of a front-end interface and backend database specifically designed to allow Medical Device Companies to use templates to create web based training modules that are available for viewing by their authorized personnel. Each Training Module is comprised of the following:
- The Test Introduction Screen contains instructions on how to complete the test.
- The Training Content is comprised of the course content uploaded by the designated Administrator(s).
- The Test is comprised of randomly selected questions from the pool of Test Questions.
- The Test Summary is a results summary available on conclusion of the test.
There is no limit to the number of Training Modules that can be uploaded to the MAG10 LMS. The Total available disk space is 2.5 gigabytes. Additional space is available for an additional fee. For an optimal User experience content file size for each module should not exceed 20Mb. The recommended User system requirements are Windows XP, Internet Explorer 5.x onwards, 512MB RAM, Pentium III 300 MHz processor.
Administrator Functions
The system is designed to allow maximum flexibility to the Client Administrator. The Administrator will have the ability to control the following:
- Users Profiles – registration, user names, contact information, user groups
- User Groups – creation of User Groups for different user types including different access levels to system functions.
- Training Modules – uploading of content, creation of questions and answers and Test Introduction Screens
- Test parameters – setting the time limit, required passing score, number of allowed attempts, certificate of completion
- Broadcast Messaging – ability to send out messages to user groups (e.g. new training modules)
The Client Administrator can also set up Sub Administrators. The Sub Administrators have the ability to build online Training Modules but cannot make any changes to the User Profiles.
User Registration
Each user is registered in the system by the Client Administrator. The user is then sent an email notification and asked to complete the registration process. Users are assigned to User Groups according to their specific training requirements.
