| Use Case | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|
| I'm not sure that eLearning is right for my company. | It's tough for us to try to convince you of the value that eLearning brings to your company. We recommend you read up a little on the subject at ASTD.org or the eLearning Guild's website. | |
| I have built a little eLearning before, but was frustrated by how much training it took for me to be able to deliver my content to my learners. | Oh yeah. I think we have a fit here. Producing a course in Doctum is like filling out an Amazon check out form, mixed with uploading a video to YouTube. |
|
| So, I need to produce some courses for my organization, but I don't have a ton of money. Can Doctum help me? | Well, with plans starting at $50 a month, you can't get much less expensive than that. Doctum is a lot less than buying a full authoring suite, it's accessible on any machine with web access and doesn't charge you for software version upgrades. Beat that! |
|
| I am a training developer guru and have my own library of courses, can I bring them over to Doctum? | Perhaps, but that's really not what we're about, we aren't a full featured Learning Management System, we're more of a Learning Content Management System. | |
| I was contemplating getting my organization back on the training track. We got burned a couple years back doing some custom learning. Can Doctum really help me? | Hopefuly! If missed deadlines and blown budgets soured you on the whole experience of building eLearning, then yeah, give us a shot, you'll like what you see! |
|
| I own a creative agency and got asked to build some training for a client. I am so lost. Can Doctum work for me? | Short answer: Probably! You don't need to know Flash, to make great training with Doctum, but if you do... wow, you can really produce some amazing stuff here. There are some other things to consider, like how to build effective learning, but if it's a great tool you're looking for, give us a try! |
|
| I'm not sure about using a web app to build stuff at all, much less eLearning. | Red Flags here, bucko! Web based authoring tools are new for many but with great apps out there on the web for editing videos, photos, spreadsheets and much, much more, it seems like it's a perfect time to build some eLearning online! |

Oh yeah. I think we have a fit here. Producing a course in Doctum is like filling out an Amazon check out form, mixed with uploading a video to YouTube.
