SELF-PACED ELEARNING - BankersEdge


User Administration
With MARS user administration, you can easily add and maintain employees,
administrators, branches, departments, regions and job titles. Additional
features include Bulk Email, to automatically send reminders to just those who
have (or haven't) completed courses, and Archiving, which allows you to "wipe
the slate clean" for the next training cycle and permanently retain past results for
future reporting.
Curriculum Management
MARS curriculum management allows you to create job-specific curricula, so
employees take only the courses they need. Courses may be designated as
either required or elective.
Management of Classroom Training
Building on your MARS employee database, repository of online training results
and powerful reporting, MARS can now be your central point of administration,
tracking and reporting for ALL training including classroom. Training facilities,
courses and scheduled classes along with class rosters, student attendance
and course completion can all be tracked and managed in MARS.
Automatic Synchronization
With automatic synchronization, you can upload your most recent employee file
on a regular basis, and MARS will automatically reflect changes adding new
employees, updating current employee information and deleting terminated
employees. This greatly reduces the administrative burden for larger institutions.
Benefits
- Administration of employee information is efficient and straightforward.
- Archiving allows for permanent retention of historical training records,
separate from current activity.
- With synchronization, online employee data is maintained automatically.
- Bulk email provides automatic notification to employees who've not
completed their training requirements.

BankersEdge recognizes not only the importance of customization, but also the
varying degrees of customization needed, and the limited resources you may
have available for the effort. To address differing customization needs, and to
make best use of your resources, BankersEdge offers several ways to
customize courses.
Custom Inserts and Policies Custom inserts allow you to replace selected
BankersEdge generic content with your own. This is accomplished with an
easy-to-use onscreen editor. As viewed by the student, custom inserts appear
as part of the original course.
Custom Policies allow you to supplement any course with your own policies
and procedures. To display your policies, the student clicks a Policies and
Procedures button on the course navigation bar. You may update custom
inserts and policies at any time.
Course Authoring Tool (CAT) CAT is BankersEdge's comprehensive, simple-to-
use online course development environment. Designed for the non-technical
user, CAT allows you to fully customize any BankersEdge course to add,
modify and delete pages, subsections or entire sections quickly and easily.
CAT features templates, a comprehensive image library, and an always-visible
course outline to guide you through the creation of course pages, interactive
exercises and gameboard questions. Since all BankersEdge courses are
initially developed with CAT, a CAT-modified course maintains the same
professional look and feel as the original. CAT is also an ideal tool to develop
your own online courses from scratch, adding to your BankersEdge library.
Benefits
- Personalized training conforms to your unique business practices, for
targeted results.
- Customized courses allow you to emphasize topics requiring more in-
depth knowledge.
- Customization is easy and readily accomplished by subject-
knowledgeable personnel, without involving technical developers.
- Training content is easily updated, to accurately reflect current products
and business practices.

Online Courses
The BankersEdge catalog includes over 160 courses that are engaging, job-
relevant and concise for maximum retention and immediate on-the-job results.
The courses feature real world examples, interactive case studies, gameboard-
style tests, and clear intuitive navigation for training that's fun and effective. Topics
include regulatory compliance, banking fundamentals, product knowledge, and
service and selling skills.
Administration and Reporting
Administration of training and reporting of results are critical aspects of the
training function. The BankersEdge Management Administration and Reporting
System (MARS) puts you in control, with powerful administration, curriculum
management, and reporting capabilities.
MARS reporting is robust, flexible and easy to use, featuring over a dozen reports,
student transcripts, at-a-glance passing grids and learning gap analysis to name
a few. Reports may be viewed on-screen, printed or downloaded for further
analysis and review.
Customization
One-size-fits-all does not work in the training world. Each institution has its own
terminology, its own policies and procedures, and its own business style. Given
that off-the-shelf material must often be modified to your unique business
practices, BankersEdge offers several ways to customize courses.
- Custom Inserts and Policies allow selected pages to be readily edited
with your own content, and courses to be supplemented with your policies
and procedures.
- For more extensive modifications, the BankersEdge web-based CAT
Course Authoring Tool allows your non-technical staff to fully modify any
BankersEdge course and develop professional online courses of your
own.
- The BankersEdge Custom Training Solutions (CTS) group a team of
experienced trainers, instructional designers and developers can do the
work for you, with projects ranging from a distinctive interactive case study
to a new online course addressing a special training need.
A straightforward, easy-to-use function to manage students, courses and
curricula is critical to an effective online training implementation. BankersEdge
Management Administration and Reporting System (MARS) is designed
specifically for financial institutions to be just that a simple, yet powerful, training
management and reporting system.
