However, in the PTC Academic Program, we don’t
think eLearning can be affective by just providing
content – effecting eLearning stands and falls with the
way it is managed.
Manage
Learning management is key to your learning success.
PTC University eLearning is powered by our robust
learning management system, PTC University
Precision LMS which allows you to search content,
assign learning tasks, assess users, track usage and
generate reports. All libraries include full access
to this leading-edge technology, that is beneficial to
both instructors and students.
Where they can:
• Quickly find new courses, track their progress and
test their skills
• Easily search training content to find exactly what
they need, when they need it
• Receive targeted development suggestions based
on assessment results
• View complete learning history and
assessment results
• Access a cheaper, interactive alternative to expen-
sive university textbooks
eLearning brings the classroom experience to you on demand
–24/7/365.
Provide instant feedback on student assessments with the auto-
mated testing and file upload capabilities in Pro/FICIENCY.
Instructors can use Precision LMS to:
• Build, launch and manage curriculum and courses
• Create custom curriculum incorporating standard
eLearning courses that are the same courses used
in training programs at PTC commercial customers
in industry
• Run real-time reports to view progress and profi-
ciency of your students
Assess
The assessment of student parts, assemblies and
drawings in a computer-aided design course is time
consuming and students’ poor understanding of file
management makes this even more difficult. PTC Uni-
versity Pro/FICIENCY, housed inside Precision LMS,
provides theory-based and practical-based assess-
ments that automate testing by allowing students
to upload a part assembly or drawing and providing
instant feedback and grades based on pre-
determined criteria.
We offer ten free seats of eLearning
Libraries as part of the PTC Creo
