WHAT IS VENUS.NET?
VENUS.NET is a �What You See Is What You Get� (WYSIWYG) Training Content Development program developed by LSI and designed specifically to build web-based training.

Venus.NET courseware is designed for maximum versatility. The courseware may be viewed in any of the following methods:

Served over the Internet or Intranet via a web server.

Played over a LAN/WAN (Suitable for school house use).

Played locally from a hard disk.

Played directly from a CD-ROM.

HISTORY
With over seven years of application improvements, Venus.Net is a third-generation toolset used in the production of web-based training. The original toolset was developed using Shocked Authorware in a database-centric Authorware engine. It was replaced by Venus~DT, which incorporated a replica of the Authorware engine interface and onscreen functionality. Venus.Net has taken Venus~DT to the next level, producing SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 web-based content, plus adding enhancements to the features of both Venus~DT and previous Authorware courseware. Venus.Net was developed in Microsoft�s C# programming language and is fully backwards compatible with all courseware developed with Venus~DT.

USER INTERFACE
Venus.NET provides both project level and personal preferences for a user-friendly interface, allowing each user to customize their own interface settings. Editor and courseware backgrounds, fonts, highlighting, and many other facets can be set to ensure that contrast between web pages and editor controls is �easy on the eyes.�

By passing parameters to pre-written high-level commands, the user interface provides simple point and click functionality to generate courseware interactivity. This methodology enables novice users to easily write Level 2 and Level 3 interactive courseware within days. Using some of the more complex high-level commands, Level 4 courseware and a level of intelligence can also be built into the web pages.

SCORM COMPLIANCE
Venus.NET provides utilities for complete SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 compliance. To meet each customer�s needs, learning object metadata can be assigned to all levels of the organized content using customized templates. Venus.NET fully supports SCORM communication and can set any valid value to or from any SCORM-compliant LMS.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAULT ASSESSMENT
Venus.NET courseware contains elements that track all user actions, enabling the courseware to make decisions based on those user actions. This gives Venus.NET the ability to create smart web pages and build scenarios based on user actions. Troubleshooting or Fault Assessment exercises can be incorporated into the courseware with these techniques.

TESTING FEATURES
Testing modules can be developed with Venus.NET. Short review or check-on-learning questions can be easily inserted into the courseware using matching, drag-and-drop, or multiple-choice style questions. Pretests, post tests and performance tests can also be built within a SCO, or as a freestanding SCO. Tests and test questions can contain the following features:

Select questions randomly from a bank of questions.

Provide weighted test questions.

Set timing limitations for a test.

Bookmark questions to answer at a later time.

Provide Pause and Resume functions during a test.

Direct interactions, scores, and statuses to the LMS.

Review questions and answers (within the SCO) after a test has been graded.

Provide remediation.

Award a courseware certificate.

Testing features can be customized to fit customer needs.

SUMMARY
Venus.NET is a complete courseware development system. Combined with the Venus Learning Management online review system, it provides a complete solution for management and development of web-based courseware.

Venus.NET is the ideal tool for the non-programmer to program and maintain interactive web courses. Built-in references and help files give the user everything needed to build and maintain highly interactive web pages. Venus.NET is a perfect training development and life cycle maintenance tool to keep your web-base training up-to-date for years to come.
