The FastTrack methodology is designed for organizations that are new to e-learning, or that would like to optimize their approach to the development process and work flows. This program is tailored to each organization and is completed as an outcome of a team workshop that addresses course analysis, design considerations, storyboarding, the creation of a sample course using customized templates and best practices, practice management issues, quality control and inspections, and the use of surveys.

(Classroom Training)
Atlantic link and IAC will offer intermediate and advanced training on e-learning development and practice management as either a deliverable of FastTrack, or as stand-alone events. Training is optimized for various audiences, including e-learning developers, instructional designers, managers, and SME's. These classes are offered through either the instructor-led or virtual online formats.

Courses are authored directly on the e-learning server through Content Point. This process of 'remote' authoring is entirely transparent to the user. Developers, SME's and designers can all "connect" to the server simultaneously, in real-time, allowing for true collaborative development and deployment from anywhere in the world - all on a single server.
