Step - Revolutionize the way educational content is created and delivered online
Whether you're looking to build engaging surveys, intricate tasks, comprehensive exams, or interactive polls. STEP equips you with a robust set of tools to enhance the learning experience.
Content Types
Surveys
You probably ask participants to complete a post-training evaluation. While collecting such feedback after a course is important, STEP allows you to collect feedback and gather opinions before, during, and after class. Before class, it’s good practice to ask participants about their background and expectations for the training. You can use that information to provide a better training experience. During the course, collect and discuss feedback to create unified collaboration and participation. And, of course, collect the all-important post-course feedback using STEP's sophisticated survey features.
Tasks
If your training includes hands-on labs, you are probably providing static instructions with PDF documents. Static instructions don’t work well for a diverse audience. If you don’t provide enough detail, some people struggle. If you provide too much detail, others will find it unnecessary and lose interest. STEP instructions allow each user to determine how much detail he or she sees. STEP also allows you to track when each step in a task is completed so you know exactly how well the instructions work. You can’t do that with a PDF. You also have the option to include sounds, images, and videos to keep your instructions as engaging as possible.
Exams
How do you currently evaluate participant understanding and retention during a course? With STEP, you can easily build interactive quizzes and tests to gage how participants are learning. A short quiz at the end of a lecture can help to reinforce the concepts and create a sense of value in the course. Of course, with STEP, you aren’t limited to boring fill-in-the-blank or multiple-choice questions. Adding audio, videos, and unique question types will help you create engaging questionnaires.
Polls
STEP polls allow you to easily gauge group opinion on a specific topic. When users respond, they instantly see the cumulative results. Polls can be a great way to break up a long lecture and quickly check how participants are doing. Since only cumulative results are shown, you can ask questions about your student’s experience and background without concern of embarrassing anyone. As with all STEP content, you aren’t limited to a simple question. Include rich media elements like video and sound to make polls more fun and increase the likelihood that users will respond.
Checklists
STEP checklists are useful in many ways. Use them to create a list of rules that a user must acknowledge before doing a certification exam. Or create a list of things that must be arranged before a customer on-site training. Improve accountability by creating a record of who did what and when. Checklists are completely configurable, so you can decide which items have to be individually acknowledged and can even require them to be initialed.
STEP breathes life into stale training materials. Excellent training engages users in a variety of ways. Paging through endless PowerPoints and static PDFs doesn’t cut it these days. With STEP, you can break up the monotony by adding engaging, dynamic content to your training.

03
Analyze
You can view the details of each response. Besides seeing the user’s response, you have access to detailed analytics, such as how long the user took to respond to each item and how many times the user changed a response. STEP also allows you to generate statistics for arbitrary groups of responses for comparison. Finally, you can take all that analytic data and create a customized report which you can send out to interested parties.
Pricing
Save 30-70% switching from in-person to online training
The choice between in-person training vs. online training is among the most significant financial decisions a training department makes. However, the costs associated with in-person training vs. online training are so different, making it hard to tell which training modality is the more economical option. To help answer this question, ReadyTech built this calculator to help you estimate the costs associated with in-person vs. online training.
