Frequently Asked Questions

It is a hosted software system where a company can handle all aspects of learning and training of its employees including content, whether that be company-specific or general compliance, with over-arching statistics to look at the company as a whole or the individual in-depth. Its objective is that without loss of functionality, it can be used by any competent individual, with the minimum of IT skills, to create company-specific content.
The first is to be able to create your own company-specific content with the minimum of ease and the second is to subscribe to our pre-written compliance courses.
The system statistics show you how long in aggregate a person has spent with the course “open”. This is often a good indicator as to whether the document supplied (not necessarily a course) has been read. It is one hundred percent certain if the material has not been read.
The authors of the system are GD&D Ltd., a UK software company with a long track record of building bespoke systems for clients and licensable software for itself. The current suite is Alligator Risk Management; Elephant Training Management software and Beehive, which is a way of taking advantage of our offshore resources for all manner of data management.
Yes. First, you must supply us with the content, and we will design it for you and even ask the questions should you wish people to pass or fail. We will quote you on this on submission of the material.
The content is divided into modules, chapters, and sections. The content can be any kind of pre-designed document like PowerPoint, Word, or PDF. In addition, you can use simply plain text and type it straight into the system.
Here are some made-up examples where we simply would not have the expertise to write them effectively.
Staff training as an entity is not company-size specific. The pricing gets significantly cheaper the more users that subscribe to the system. And the more users, usually the bigger the company.
The emails are pre-worded but can be changed by the company administrator. They are also split by emails for compliance courses and emails for industry-specific courses. Here are some email types:
Yes. The course administrator can issue a certificate if the candidate has passed the training course. There is a default certificate in the system, but we can help design or copy an existing company-specific certificate.
The following files can be uploaded to the system.
After content upload, you have some interesting visual techniques to help make the course more interesting or to summarise the important points. They are:
A pre-written can be made available to all companies on the system by allocating the course by the cloud administrator.
This can also be done by the cloud administration in agreement with the Elephant team. However, once done, Elephant is no longer responsible for the content.
There are two elements to the pricing model. The first is the cost per user per month and the second is a small fee for every time you publish a course. The cost per user per month decreases massively as the number of users increases.
All payment methods are available. Monthly subscriptions can be done by Direct Debit. All others are taken at the start of each period, for that period.
Like most software these days, this multi-tenant software is hosted in a secure data center and sold as Software-as-a-service. In extraordinary circumstances, we would duplicate and deploy the system elsewhere, should the request merit this.
Consider an orange with discrete segments. Each segment is equivalent to a company and nothing that happens in one segment can be seen by any other segment. Only the Cloud administrator, which is GD&D Ltd has access to the whole system.
Details about the hosting and security document can be made available by sending an email to enquiries@gdandd.co.uk with the heading “Elephant Hosting Security Documents required.”
It is very simple indeed. Anyone with rudimentary IT skills can master it in less than a day. There is an embedded screen-by-screen instruction manual that we can assign you to learn how to set the course up and write the content.
No. Your company-specific courses are not available to anyone else.
All question types are multiple choice. There are currently 5 ways of asking a question for variety and in the interests of keeping people engaged as well as decreasing the odds of guessing the correct answer by making the multiple choice more complex.
An unpublished course is available only to the author and can be changed without affecting the system. Effectively it is “draft” mode. Once it is published it can be allocated to company employees or students and cannot be changed or deleted from the system.
Since you cannot change a published course, you can duplicate it. This requires a new course name, and its default is “unpublished”. You can then make the changes and re-publish.
Yes. This can be done by the company administrator. You can see how many courses are allocated; which have been started and which finished; the time spent on each course, and more.
Yes. All statistics are aggregated for the whole company. You can see stats like the percentage of people who have started the course, and what the overall average score is by courses or all courses. The stats go back years if you have used the system for that long.
