6. Why E-Learning?

The vision of the founders led to the creation of a solution in 1990, which provides a unique and effective tool. The goal is to teach all learners in the automotive field by making it interactive, engaging, highly efficient and entertaining through the use of technology. This makes the pioneering work of the two teachers an unparalleled approach to automotive education.
The 400'000 learners in the system now enjoy this solution daily in 35 languages, with 99.9% uptime and completely without updates.
While the 40'000 teachers use the fully automatic correction of results to gain more time for the learners.
Over half a dozen of the largest car manufacturers (examples here) worldwide use our LCMS every day to train new specialists.

7. Will the system work on my device?

Although we do not know which device, the answer is yes! Our LCMS runs perfectly on all devices under Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS and Linux. Furthermore, the input is flexible, whether mouse, keyboard or touchscreen.

8. How do I assign learning content to a class?

Navigate to the desired class in the teacher access. Then navigate to the desired course (for example: Courses/Automotive Essentials/ Elementary/Electrical Engineering Elementary/Measurements Elementary). Drag the course to the tab 'Student' (at the top of the screen) where the correct class was preselected at the beginning.

9. Where can I find the results of the fully automatic correction?

In the tab 'Student' you can search for the class (or the desired learner) concerned. You will find the progress bars in the overview and the detailed results in the respective profile. For lessons you see the progress, for simulators additionally the log file and for self-tests the individual questions with the answers.

10. Does the system require each student to be added individually?

The system contains a batch processing for reading in learners. With administrator access, student lists with hundreds of students can be added with a single click. These are automatically divided into learning groups.

11. Why are the results of class XY not saved?

  • Navigate to the desired class in the teacher access. The teacher can edit the "Edit Group" using the pencil icon. On the edit page under the title "Browse Lessons" the option No must be selected to save results. (Bild 1)

12. How can I schedule a course?

  • First we need a self-created or existing course X for this operation.
  • In the next step, the course must be assigned a class Y.
  • Then select the course via "Students / Class Y / Course X" and change access for all students via the padlock symbol .
  • The option "Unlocked for a specific period of time" can now be selected from the drop-down menu.
