Your Global Classroom



Material is a rapid and cost-effective way to deliver essential training when and where it counts. It uses the Internet to equip staff with the power to create, manage, distribute and evaluate training content easily over the web.

From the creation of media-rich content through to the evaluation of pupils and training programmes, Material provides the functionality demanded by business managers with training responsibilities.

Benefits of Material



  • Easy to use - The interface is designed so that non-technical staff will be at ease using Material, because the best trainers and pupils don't need degrees in IT!
  • Quick distribution - Once anything has been signed off, it is then distributed automatically.
  • Global reach - Courses are created centrally, but available to all desired locations.
  • Varied content - Sends content from Microsoft® Office applications to Flash animations, audio to video. The intuitive editor means that entire training programmes are produced, edited and shared quickly over the web.
  • Flexible courses - Delivers "just-in-time" or "follow-on" training to keep teams informed on the latest products and enhancements. From delivering new sales incentives to advising on changes in legislation.
  • Interactive learning - Offers online examinations as well as management reporting for easy assessment of an individual's performance and evaluation of training effectiveness. Exams can be multiple choice, random or essay style, and happen in 'real-time'.
  • Supporting materials - Slide shows are created and merged with supporting material to create individual lessons or entire courses.
  • Simplified Upload - Images, files and media clips are uploaded and accessed via drop down menus. Content can be copied and pasted directly into the editor from other applications such as Word®.
  • Manages presentation - Templates are created that help maintain brand or corporate consistency, whilst reducing lesson creation time (and cost!).
  • Establishes embargos - Enables system administrators or managers to edit and update lessons prior to release. Lessons can also be released to coincide with time-sensitive events such as a product launches or other initiatives.
  • Provides controls - Not all lessons are relevant to everyone. Material assigns lessons to individuals or groups - whether by job function, department or geographical location.
  • Sends Email and SMS alerts - Contains a powerful email and SMS engine so that outbound communication is effortless. Notifications on topics, lesson location and login details can be sent through either medium.
  • Reports performance - Measures and communicates key performance metrics to all training stakeholders. Courses, material and content is continually refined. Pass rates are set for exams and re-takes scheduled.
