Initial System Training

Although ASCENT is very easy to use and quite intuitive, most of our clients appreciate a familiarization with it and some instruction on how to convert training materials to online courses.

We provide a detailed familiarization of the administrative and editing parts of the ASCENT system. In most cases, this is done on-site at the client's offices (travel expense extra, some restrictions apply). We can also do it via a web/phone conference (no charge) or at our offices in Edmonton.

Our training sessions are usually about four hours, depending on the computer skill levels of the learners. Most clients send about 2 – 8 people to the training. Attendees should be comfortable with using a computer, MS Word, PowerPoint, and doing some stuff on the web (ie: online banking or purchasing).

The training sessions generally include:

General tour of the system
Formatting & optimizing images and other content
Effective copying & pasting from word processor documents
Course structure guidelines
Content page layout guidelines
How to set up Quizzes/Exams, Surveys, and Memos
Publishing and managing courses
System user administration
Training records admin
Populating & managing Glossary, Reference Library, Rec Room, Links, etc.
General tips on using system, providing user support, and troubleshooting

In the training we actually build a complete sample course including quiz and survey, publish it, create a new user, assign them the course, then take that course as that new user and check their training records.

We also leave you with a Template of a properly structured course in your system, which you can use to easily create new courses.

Technical Support

This is what keeps us in business! Not because we make money from it (there is no charge for tech support), but because we do it so well that our customers fervently recommend us to others.

We provide "second tier" tech support. This means that your users must contact you for questions and issues and you are responsible for dealing with general user support (ie: "Sir, you need to double click that blue 'e' to launch your web browser").

If any issues are not resolvable by you, or it is a technical bug, then contact us. We provide you a tech support e-mail address which goes to our tech team. Although our business hours are Mon – Fri, 8:30 – 5:00 (MST) for phone support, we usually respond to tech support e-mails quickly regardless of the time or day. If one of us is online, we’ll usually take care of it.
