Branded Portals

A portal is your entry point into e-Learning from The Quality Group. Branded to your organization and powered by OpusWorks® your portal is secure and ready 24/7 to train a department, a division, or an entire workforce on several continents. Your instructors and administrators have a separate password to the administration system in order to tailor courses, set up menus, create surveys, build tests, and manage classes. Your developers, subject matter experts, reviewers and approvers have their own access as well into the OpusWorks® Composer Authoring and Publishing system.
Companies/Communities
Your branded portal is your virtual campus, for training your employees and contractors, your customers and suppliers, your clients and consumers. Whether you have 50 or 50,000 learners, there is no better way to drive learning deep into the DNA of your organization. And because it's a snap to create your own e-Learning curriculum, a branded portal can accelerate the impact of almost any strategic initiative or deployment.
Academic Partners
Your branded portal is your virtual education center for increasing revenues, brand value, and community profile. Today, you might deliver Lean Six Sigma blended e-Learning certification classes. If you set up a network of portals across your state, your system, your association or your consortium, you can automatically share best-practice content.
Content and Affiliate Partners
Your custom portal is your virtual distribution system. You're the expert, and are passionate about what you do, and why you do it. Your branded portal gives you a path to the web with easy e-Learning content creation, control over your intellectual property, e-commerce to sell your courses directly, and a potential channel to distribute through other OpusWorks® portals.
e-Commerce

We've made the world-wide distribution of your e-Learning courses easy by teaming with PayPal, the global leader in online payments.
Of course our management system, OpusWorks, allows you to control students and courses without any need for e-commerce, but many times our customers want to sell their e-Learning to the world. That's where The Quality Group's e-Commerce system comes in handy.
From Your Portal
Your portal automatically comes with e-Commerce installed. Simply designate any menu of modules as available for e-commerce sales and the public "Purchase Page" automatically populates the information.  We use the exact same e-commerce system on this website (see the example).
From Your Own Website
With our e-Commerce system, all you do is cut-n-paste buttons that can appear on your website or on the outside of your portal. When students choose to purchase a course (or a menu of courses) their payment is immediately processed by PayPal with funds placed into your PayPal account. Meanwhile our system is triggered to create and e-mail a Registration Key to your customer / student. The person receives the email, clicks on the link, enters the registration key, and begins the training. So in simply a few moments, your customer / student can go from window shopping to studying your content, all with absolutely no effort on your part.
It's secure, fast, and easy to use. Your content is just a few clicks away from being global in reach.
Development

Leverage our Instructional Design Expertise
Take a look at any of our Lean Six Sigma courses, and there will be no doubt that The Quality Group knows e-Learning instructional design. It's rare that a student doesn't rate our e-Learning the best they've ever taken.
Delivering e-Learning solutions that work requires an intricate understanding of learning models, script development, process mapping, graphic design, video and audio production, and studio editing.
When you choose us for your e-Learning development, tell us your business needs. We'll then use our OpusWorks® Composer tool to "pull" you through the rest of the process in far less time, and at a far lower cost, than you think is possible.
Once you're our customer, we do whatever it takes for you to succeed in whatever e-Learning endeavor is important to you and your organization.
Customization

Is customization one of your top priorities? Consider it done.
Need us to quickly create new e-Learning courses? We're all over it.
Take advantage of our proven processes
For over a decade, we have delivered custom e-Learning solutions to many of the world's most respected corporations. We succeed because we listen to needs, we've built customization tools and we've established collaborative processes. No other organization has OpusWorks® Composer, and no company is more qualified to give you customized e-Learning courses – just the way you want it, at a price you can afford, in the timeframe you need it – than The Quality Group.
Graphic Arts Department

We've made it simple to create high-end, great looking graphics to bring your e-Learning to life.
Jerry DeCrotie, our resident artist, and staff are ready to help you turn your e-Learning dreams into a commercial reality. Bring us your ideas and you'll be amazed at how quickly our team can create an exact match ... bringing your ideas to life.  All artwork is custom and requires a custom quote. No project is too big or too small.
