AIMS™ Content Manager puts rapid elearning creation at your fingertips.
Designed to revolutionise your learning and development strategy, AIMS™
Content Manager lets you create and deploy relevant content directly to
your learners in minutes.
For an elearning authoring tool to deliver value it must be easy, intuitive and offer flexibility to the creator in terms of the size,
structure and layout of the course. Luckily, we do all of that! AIMS™ Assessment integrates seamlessly with AIMS™ Publisher
to form AIMS™ Content Manager.
AIMS™ Content Manager gives you the ability to quickly create business critical learning and development without the need for
investment in bespoke elearning solutions. You’ll have the power to create your own learning on topics that are relevant to your
organisation, employees and business model.
You can use your existing in-house digital training material, create courses using the common PC applications such as
Microsoft PowerPoint or even third party “off the shelf” rapid elearning tools. Once your course is published your course you
can then use the AIMS™ learning management system to report on learner progress.
Implement rapid elearning in your organisation
AIMS™ Content Manager uses our simple four-stage wizard to guide you through each step of creating a course. Alternatively,
you can create courses in whatever way you choose by using the freestyle method. Help is provided for both course creators
and learners to ensure ease of use. The only limit is your imagination. Create courses to meet any training need, including:
• Induction training
• Standard operating procedures
• New product launch training
• Health and safety training
• HR policy and procedures dissemination
• Company specific training courses
• Sales training – new menus, new sales promotions,
special offers
• Management training
There is extensive flexibility for defining the composition and structure of
courses. Choose from a wide variety of content options, allocate time for
your employees to sit the course and then monitor and track
completions. Other valuable uses of AIMS™ Content Manager include
providing your employees with quick and relevant training on critical
issues such as:
• Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s)
• HR Procedures / Regulations
• Brand Standards
• Induction Training
• Sales Training – new menus, new sales promotions, special offers
• Just-In-Time Training (JIT) – eg. New IT system training
Available online or via our el-box™, AIMS™ Content Manager is deployable in any learning and development programme and
makes it easy to complement your existing range of compliance courses from MindLeaders with additional company-specific
training.

Implementing your AIMS™ Content Manager strategy
Like all great software, AIMS™ Content Manager is unobtrusive. It allows you to focus on delivering engaging learning content
that addresses your needs.
But to get rapid elearning right, you’ll need a disciplined approach which draws on subject matter expertise within your
organisation and applies best practice in terms of instructional design. We are here to provide you with all the support and
guidance you need on hand to implement a high performing strategy. Support from MindLeaders includes:
• Regular Content Manager networking events to share best practice with our partners

How is AIMS™ Content Manager
delivered?
Administrators who will be creating and publishing courses
will access AIMS™ Content Manager from their main AIMS™
interface. A new menu is added called “AIMS™ Content
Manager”. Learners who have been assigned courses
you have published will see the course titles in their course
launch list as they do now.
Preparing for AIMS™ Content Manager
We can work with your IT team to ensure that the PCs used
to access the courses you create with AIMS™ Content
Manager have the appropriate players and viewers installed.
For example, if you publish a course with a flash animation,
a PowerPoint file and a pdf, you’ll need to have Flash Player
10, the PowerPoint application or viewer and Adobe Acrobat
reader installed.
