How can I create my own campus? 

Eufrates.com will host your online campus on our Windows NT server. For a single monthly charge, we provide the server, software, and technical support to create a reliable and friendly educational experience for your community. 
There are no software upgrade charges, maintenance, or consulting charges. We collect the fees for your course registrations, and then pay you an agreed percentage. This keeps your cost of ownership lower and lets the traffic pay for itself as it grows. 

You are in charge of the publishing of the courses. You also retain all rights to your courses and course materials. Your authors upload their courses to the site, and then your administrators turn it into a 'live' course. You can customize your site to add the logos and images that make it conform to your organization's needs. We have also added the use of style sheets, which will allow your organization to fully customize the look and feel of your campus. The style sheet can be easily customized with the use of our included style sheet editor. 
 

How hard is it to create courses?

You create a course by making course sections, called modules, with our module creator program that runs under Windows 95, 98, Nt, 2000, Me or XP. Then you upload the modules to the Eufrates server. Each module consists of pages. Each page is usually an image with text, questions and answers, and an optional audio recording. 

If you are starting from a Microsoft PowerPoint® presentation, it's easy to export the slide images as 400 by 300 JPG image files. Then build each page around a single slide image. Add the text description or discussion of the slide. Make up one or more questions for the page. Then upload the completed module. 

If you are creating your courses from Microsoft Word®, you can easily transfer an entire document into the Eufrates Course Module Designer using a simple macro that we include. 

Eufrates links all the pages, images, audio, and questions together to make a complete course module. 

You don't have to start with slide images, you can use any JPG file, or even use plain text. There is also a function called "Autocapture" which will allow you to automatically import any image on the clipboard into your course. Basically, this means that you can easily create screenshots of a program, or create pictures from any program that runs on your computer.

You can download the module creator and try it yourself. There's also a web-based help file to show you how it works.
