We can create the right mix of training for your organization. Here are some common packages we offer.
Thinking Cap® Author Training Packages
Thinking Cap Author Boot Camp
This one day, on-site course is targeted at non-technical users of Thinking Cap Author. Participants will play the part of a Thinking Cap administrator and learn how to set-up and manage domains, workflow, revision control and other administrative functions. After an introduction to the fundamentals of the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) and basic instructional design concepts, they will also act as subject matter experts (SMEs) and learn how to author and assemble courses in our authoring system. By the end of the day, participants will have authored a number of Sharable Content Objects (SCOs) and assembled them into workable aggregations suitable to form the foundation of an eLearning module or course. While assembling the aggregations they will also learn and apply the major SCORM sequencing rules that control learner progression through an eLearning course.
Participants need no skills other than familiarity with the use of a web browser and word processor. This course is suitable for groups of up to 10 participants.
Thinking Cap Author Developer’s Course
While there are a number of professional service options available where custom templates can be created for the non-technical for a fee, many of our customers want to get their hands dirty. Thinking Cap Author developer’s course takes small groups of up to five for three days of training on the creation of content structures, delivery templates and classroom templates. Working on real world examples, participants will leave this course with the skills required to set-up and execute a completely custom project within Thinking Cap. Previous knowledge of JavaScript and XSLT are great assets but participants with only HTML and CSS skills are also welcome.
Advanced Concepts in XSLT and XSLFO
This two day course for small groups takes graduates of the developer’s course who have had real world experience to the highest level of achievement. Building on the basics, this course focuses on advanced techniques and best practices in eLearning technical development.
Online Preparation Courses
The O'Reilly School of Technology offers hands-on online technology courses that are not only highly effective and self paced but accredited as well. Prior to taking the Thinking Cap Author developer course it is mandatory that you have either real world HTML and CSS experience or have taken:
In addition participants with HTML and CSS are encouraged to take:

Implementing and Administering Thinking Cap LMS
How should I set up the domains in Thinking Cap to best reflect my organization? What metadata fields should we add for learners and courses? What activity types should we use in our learning paths? I want a report on how all fathers did in my parenting course… but I only want to see fathers under 25… from Texas… who completed in September… with a score of over 80%. Do you know how to get this report? We do. And so will you. This one day course covers the complete administration of our Learning Management System and reviews the decisions you need to make when you first implement the LMS and when you make changes in the years to come. No experience is required but a solid knowledge of your organization’s learning goals are essential.
Integrating Thinking Cap LMS with Other Applications
This one day course reviews the web service architecture of Thinking Cap Learning Management System with participants and provides code examples in C# and Java of common integrations. Participants are encouraged to work on the designs for their own integration projects and to work with the instructor on building a simple prototype using the intended SOAP client for your project.
