CREATE & EDIT COURSES - EASILY
ASCENT provides aviation training content creation tools that allow organizations to build, edit, and manage training materials within a single system. Designed for regulated aviation environments, the platform supports content development for courses, exams, training records, memos, documents, and safety reporting.
- AUTHOR your own content.
- COPY from manuals, documents, etc.
- IMPORT PowerPoint, Video, SCORM, PDF, etc.
- HYBRID: Import and then add in your own details, reviews, exams, etc.
- NO LIMITS to course length, time, content, or usage.
- UPDATE in-use courses in real-time. Changes are tracked, students notified, and records adjusted.
Aviation Tip!
Set the MINIMUM MODULE TIME to what your Ops Manual shows for that subject. Optionally add subject-related reading at the end of the course for student to study until time requirement is met. Training records will reflect that training stated in ops manual was met. Regulators love seeing this!
Create Aviation Training Content from PowerPoint
Easy importer retains the look and feel of your PowerPoints INCLUDING animations, videos, sounds, etc.
ASCENT simplifies aviation training content creation by allowing administrators to quickly import PowerPoint presentations and convert them into structured training modules. This reduces setup time while maintaining consistency across training programs.
The ASCENT difference: Most eLearining systems turn PowerPoints into self-contained files that students click through via an online ‘player’. In ASCENT each PowerPoint can be imported with each ‘slide’ being a separate page. You can then add details to any page, add pages of content and check-questions between slides, and add quizzes, exams, and feedback surveys to make it a complete, self-learning, auditable course.
Interactive Review Questions
FIRST: If your module contains training (not just a stand-alone exam), you can insert REVIEW QUESTIONS in the course content to prevent students from just clicking through to the end AND to ensure they actually LEARN the material.
- Put as many Review Questions as you want in your course – typically every few pages or after key points.
- Student can not proceed until answered correctly.
- Answers are shuffled each time the question loads.
- If incorrect selection, you can give feedback so to TEACH the correct answer.
- Questions can contain unlimited text, images, video, sound, PDF, attachments, etc.
- Multiple-choice text or Graphical Hotspot (point to correct part of image) answers.
