How OWL Works

What is OWL (On Web Learning)...

OWL is a database driven online training and training management program. The primary development focus was to create a program that could be used by just about anyone with a little computer experience. You don’t have to be a web designer or HTML expert. The design allows you to use and re-use content from just about any source to create a training program quickly and easily.

The OWL interface is a series of web pages that allow you to manipulate the data in the OWL database. The actual training site consists of single page programs. These programs use the information from the database to build HTML pages on-the-fly as they are requested by the student. Content changes are simple to complete and immediate. 


OWL Management Relationships / Structure

The structure of OWL allows for maximum flexibility in creating and distributing the responsibility for course and student management. This structure allows you to distribute the management based on your specific needs. You can maintain as much direct control as you wish or distribute the control in any way you choose.

  • Program Master: This position can add Associates, Developers and Instructors. This position also defines the relationships between associates, courses, instructors and developers... sets which courses each associate has access to and which instructors are available for each course. However, this position is not involved in the day to day management of any of the components of the training program.

  • Associate: Any number of associates can be added to the site. The Associate can set up multiple clients and define the courses available to each client. The Associate can also enter new students for each client and review the grades of any student set up by that associate.

  • Client: Each client can add students and review students grades for each course associated with the client by the associate. Clients also control the "header" information that each of the client’s students see when they are in the training program.

  • Instructors: Instructors can access only the students assigned to them by the associate or the client. They can review student’s grades and correspond directly with them through email.

  • Developers: OWL developers have full control over the training program assigned them through the Master account. They can create / manage course content and create corresponding tests..

  • Students: Students can only access the course set up for them by an associate or client. There is an optional student register program should you choose to allow students to self-register. 

If you choose, you can set a single person with permissions to manage all aspects of a particular course. Or, if staffing permits (or dictates) you can separate the responsibilities any way you need.

What ever your need, OWL is flexible enough to handle it.
