Bookmarking and Progress Tracking - RapidBuilder provides bookmarking and progress tracking capabilities for projects. Bookmarking enables an end user to place a bookmark when he/she leaves the RapidBuilder project file (which enables the end user to return to the bookmarked location the next time he/she plays the project file). In addition, a user's progress through a registered RapidBuilder project file can be completely tracked by XStream's web-based XStream RapidShare LMS technology. Administrators can generate reports against this progress tracking information.
-
Progress Button - Used within a RapidBuilder Project to display a personalized progress report for the end user currently logged in to the file. Once an end user successfully logs in to a registered project (.RPR) file, he/she may click any existing Progress Button to display a personalized progress report, which is automatically generated from tracking data stored in the end user's back-end XStream RapidShare LMS database account.
-
Course Navigation - RapidBuilder's Course Navigator effectively organizes and displays all the lessons, topics, subtopics, and external files for the current project in a browsable tree structure. It makes it easy to keep track of the different components of the project.
-
Project Themes - Developers may create project themes, which are prefabricated course templates that may be applied to new projects in order to define their structure. This saves initial project development time by enabling the developer to begin with a pre-defined course shell.
-
Playback Security Options - The Print Screen key may be disabled during playback, which prevents end users from taking unauthorized snapshots of simulation content. The simulation may be configured to fill the entire screen area during playback, which prevents any distractions from other screen areas. Task switching may be disabled during playback, which prevents the end user from using the mouse or keys to switch to another task or program window.
-
Password Protection - RapidBuilder enables developers to assign passwords to files in order to prevent unauthorized editing. Once a password has been assigned to a file, the file can only be subsequently opened in RapidBuilder once the correct password has been entered.
-
Hot Key Customization - Enables developers to customize the hot keys (i.e., shortcut keys) that will be used to start, stop, and pause/resume desktop capturing as well as turn validation capturing on and off.
-
Back-End Administration and Tracking - RapidBuilder project/course files (in RPR and Flash formats) and SCORM v1.2 courses may be administered and tracked using XStream RapidShare™ Learning Management System (LMS), which is XStream's secure, wide-ranging and completely web-based LMS module within the XStream RapidShare hosted web environment and digital workspace. XStream RapidShare LMS works with XStream's RapidBuilder, RapidExam, Performance Analyzer, and RapidGuide technologies. The LMS includes full capabilities for registering, tracking, and reporting on learning content files created with RapidBuilder, RapidExam, Performance Analyzer, and RapidGuide. The LMS module can also schedule, track, and report on Offline Events of all types (such as instructor-led training sessions, meetings, workshops, seminars, conferences, trade shows, etc.), and it provides many other features and capabilities, including e-mail notifications, extensive reporting capabilities, self-registration capabilities, learning paths, course catalogs, prerequisite definitions, bookmarking capabilities, offline exam generation, interface customization, archiving capabilities, 508 compliance, multi-language support, optional communication and collaboration capabilities, and more.
