Free Software Grows Legs, Breathes on Land

After getting some great feedback from our customers, we’re proud to announce the latest evolution of Convergence Training Viewer, or CTV. This update not only makes training easier and more efficient, it represents the missing link between computer-based training material and advanced training management tools.

Check out the newest features below and download your copy of Convergence Training Viewer or visit our website for more information.

What’s New Why It Matters

Import Your Own Courses You can now import courses you’ve created with popular authoring tools, or import SCORM courses you’ve purchased from other producers. If you’re not familiar with SCORM, don’t worry, most people aren’t. It’s basically a way to publish courses in a universal format. Click here for more info on SCORM. By adding import functionality, we’ve turned CTV into a personal learning management system, or LMS. You can now deliver, track, and report results without the complicated software and expensive servers of a conventional LMS. And the best part is that Convergence Training Viewer is FREE!

Track Real-World Events We understand that training isn’t just about sitting in front of a computer. So we’ve created an easy way for you to enter, track, and run reports on any type of training event such as classroom activities, meetings, presentations, on-the-job training, and more! Centralizing your training records saves time, keeps you organized, and makes reporting from one consistent source a breeze. With the click of a button, you can now keep a record of any training event and provide printed documentation to trainees, supervisors, or inspectors.

Backup Your Data We’ve added a manual backup feature that lets you save the most recent copy of your data wherever you’d like. The more training you do with CTV, the more valuable your training records become. So we’ve made sure you can always back up your data and recover it if you need to.

Recover Passwords We’ve developed a password recovery protocol to help make sure you won’t miss a training deadline or progress review because you can’t access the software. People forget things and when that happens, it shouldn’t ruin your entire day. Nothing should stand in your way when it comes to getting work done.

Other New or Updated Features

  • Help Tab – The Help tab provides information on our most popular features, includes basic step-by-step tutorials, and even lets you submit a support request directly to Convergence Training!
  • Administration Interface – We’ve redesigned the tab layout to make better use of the space and set the stage so we can add more features down the road.
  • Catalog Updates – Another tweak to the Catalog allows it to load more easily and automatically fill each page for
    convenient viewing of all our training products.
  • Bug Fixes – Of course no software is complete without bugs, but we’ve managed to address everything that has come up so far. If you find something that’s not working quite right, be sure to let us know.

Tools for Trainers – Presenter Mode

In addition to self-paced training, you can now take advantage of presenter mode to present training to groups, meetings and classrooms!

  • In self-paced mode, students login to Convergence Training Viewer (CTV) and take computer-based training at their own pace. The content displays the video training as well as text and standard navigation controls. Students complete the training by taking and passing tests.
  • In presenter mode, an administrator logs in and launches training in a full-screen environment. The video-training plays in one continuous feed and can be paused and discussed with the group as needed.

Training inside of CTV can be used in either mode, and presenter mode is the first of a set of new features designed to help trainers focus on training.


Already have CTV installed? Simply “Check for Updates” to unlock presenter mode. If not, click here to download.
