Authoring FAQ's
What does it cost?
We offer our courseware development and
hosting service for
FREE in exchange
for the right to distribute your courses free to developing world students. There are several other
partnership options
for those who don't have the time to author their own courses.
Who can be an author?
Anyone that has material that they have
used to communicate to others, such as books, sermons, courses, seminars, audio
or video.
Do I have to use multimedia?
No, you can create courses as simple as
you like. Keep in mind that students are less interested in text-only courses,
and the impact is significantly reduced.
Can I get help marketing my course?
Yes. All of our partners have access to our master course
catalog. Make your course attractive by using multimedia, images, graphics,
interactive quizzes, mentoring, and dynamic content to increase retention, impact,
and learning. More partners will offer your course on their website if your
course has these type of features. In addition, a reseller receives a fee
when selling your course, as incentive to add your course to their course catalog.
Do you offer any support?
Yes! There are 4 distinct partnership
relationships you can choose from, starting with doing it yourself to having us
do it all for you!
In addition, we offer free access to a library of clip
art and photos, and do all of the multimedia processing for you - for free.
Just supply us the video clips and audio clips used in your course. We also
provide extensive help resources, and suggestions for various low-cost or free tools.
Finally, the authoring system uses a WYSIWYG editor for content entry or pasting
from existing documents.

Course Rating System
Each course listing in the course catalog includes icons that indicate how much multimedia and other interactive content is included. Each course is also rated by students, and the ratings
will be consistently higher for coached courses with more multimedia and interactive
content. That’s why we suggest that course authors use multimedia and other
interactive content. Your course rating will determine how many people take your course,
how much income you will receive, and the impact you will have on the
world.

The free clip art really added to the visual impact of my course. I would highly
recommend using EduPlex!" Ashley Pikel, course author |

Expand Your Audience
If you have educational materials you use to
teach classes or seminars, why not put it on the web? This can expand your
audience, and bring in some extra cash. If your course content is considered
valuable by our other partners, they will also sell it for you on their websites,
giving you a wide distribution channel for your educational material.

 Why
Multimedia?
There are plenty of dull, text-only courses available on the internet.
EduPlex is not particularly interested in such courses. We are interested in increasing the impact of
the online learning experience by providing courses with multimedia, interactive and dynamic content,
preferably using relational education via coach-student-student video conference and social network
interactions online.
For Pastors
For small churches, using the system as a leadership
training and spiritual growth resource will help you apply Biblical training and
education effectively in your leaders and members.
For larger churches, consider the benefits of a greatly expanded ministry by converting
your vast library of recorded material into online courses. Our outreach
to the developing world will give you a worldwide impact.
