Example Scenario
Take the example of a training course in Microsoft Office proficiency. The training course covers some basic aspects of Excel such as cell formatting and data entry. The course also covers some intermediate topics such as conditional formatting, formulas and advance topics such as pivot tables, linking external data etcetera.
Training: The instructor would create a new course in ATS, record simulations, add textual content and media. This course would be delivered to the students who can be allowed to interact with the application at their own pace or within a restricted time frame. ATS would not only deliver content that is interactive, it will allow users to interact with an automated instance of Excel to practice course material giving them hands-on exposure to Excel. As students are interacting with Excel, ATS is smart enough to know the context of the current material and provides feedback to the student in real time regarding the steps they have performed.
Testing: The instructor would create either boilerplate or customized examination sessions for students including tasks suited to thier skill level. Alternatively, ATS can generate randomized sessions for each student based on thier skill level. Students would then log on to the desktop client and ATS would guide them through each expected tasks. Once complete, the session would be submitted to the server which records the results.
