Mastery Runtime System
The centerpiece of The Mastery Advantage™
The Mastery Runtime System is the "engine" that drives all CD-Rom and LAN based Mastery Advanatage™ courses.
The Runtime System is licensed on a "per site" basis and is included with every CD-Rom based Mastery Advantage course. If you already have at least one Mastery Advantage course at your site, you do not need to license the Runtime System again.
If you are building your own courses from MODIFY™ Course Shells and do not have an off-the-shelf Mastery Course licensed at your site, then you can purchase a site license for the Mastery Runtime System separately.
The Runtime System delivers The Mastery Advantage™
The specific capability the Runtime System provides a course depends on whether the course is a:
- Standard Mastery course or Course Shell, or
- Third-party instructional lesson (PowerPoint, etc.) running as a guest in a MODIFY Course Shell, or
- Free-standing Non-Mastery course being managed and delivered by the Mastery Runtime System
