Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to Gov.Education

Created by CourseAvenue, LLC., a leading provider of eLearning technology – Gov.Education is revolutionizing federal and state communications by creating self-paced eLearning courses, directly from source legislation as the legislation is posted. 

Can courses be customized?

Instructional designers, media specialists, course creators – anyone interested in customizing any of our titles – you have come to the right place!

We understand that while our courses provide a tremendous service by applying an instructional design to a tremendous amount of complex information, you may want to customize and make them your own.

Unlike traditional “off-the-shelf” titles, when you purchase a Hybrid license, the Gov.Education titles can be completely tailored for your specific training needs.

Please contact us for more information.

What is a Hybrid License?
It is a license that includes both the course content and a license to edit and re-publish the course.
Can we re-sell a course that we created with the Hybrid license?
Short answer: No.  If you wish to be a re-seller and create your own line of courses based on the Gov.Education course content, please contact us via the re-seller program.
With a hybrid license can we add our own “look and feel”.
Yes.  The courses come with built-in “player skins” that you can choose from and ones you can customize.
What about importing images, adding hyperlinks, adding sections, lessons and/or pages.

These are all things you can do with the Hybrid license.  You will have your own “media library” in which to store and keep track of your media assets.  The media library also keeps track of assets via a “Where Used” utility.

What about accessibility and Section 508 compliance?
“Out of the box” – the courses will pass a Section 508 compliance test.  We guarantee it.  For those with a Hybrid license, from within the editor, there is a built-in “accessibility analysis tool” you can use to monitor any changes you make.
Can we use Articulate Storyline to update course content?
Published Storyline interactions can be placed into the Media Library and then onto pages in the course.  You are responsible for Section 508 compliance with any modification using any tool other than the CourseAvenue Studio Editor.
We have programmers on staff that can hand-code interactions, can we use “custom” interactions?
Short answer: Yes. The Gov.Education courses have a built-in JavaScript API so the options are limitless.  We strongly recommend Advanced Training when embarking on API use.
How do we Publish a course?

If using your own LMS, one can download a SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 package.  If using our LMS, it is simply an online file transfer.  More advanced course publishing processes are available. Contact our support team for special situations.
