The next questions references The Statement of Work Section C3.1, provided via eMail: 4-Q- #3, It states that the system will allow for multiple sessions- is this concurrent users or multiple events of a class? 4-A- The system should support multiple instances of the same class with multiple users concurrently e.g. Course DPAS101 Section 1 with 25 students and instructor A is active and separate from course DPAS101 Section 2 with 25 students and instructor B during the same time period. 5- Q-#4, Functionality for progress tracking- this could be many things, are you able to explain further, like progress shown in a transcript or progress shown while in an online course or progress shown by allocating attendance or credit? 5-A- The student transcript should show courses attempted and completed with passed or failed notation (credit). A student should be able to see his progress through the modules of an active course. 6- Q- #5 Provide certification of training skills- how should this be done, through a transcript, a printable certificate or by a manager allocation? 6-A- The student transcript should maintain course success/credit/certification history.
