titleCan we collect demographics in on OCI users?

Yes. Organizations using HCE Standard Organizations under a premium plan can develop a custom form and require users to fill out that form before accessing their courses. This form allows you to collect demographics on your users.

Please be aware that requiring users to complete a form before accessing courses can be a hindrance. The more personal information you request, the higher the likelihood that users will abandon the self-registration process.

titleCan someone “download” my courses in OCI?

No. OCI is secure and your courses remain your intellectual property. When users self-register on your site via OCI and enrol in your courses, they are creating an account on your learning environment. There is no way for an individual to download your course and install it in their learning environment. They can only view courses that you’ve already decided to make available to the general public.

No. In fact, if you’re currently on HCE Standard or HCE Enterprise, OCI saves you money.

The fees for Dual Code’s HCE Standard and HCE Enterprise services are based on the number of users. OCI users do not consume your licenses. So if users enrol in your courses via OCI, you don’t need to buy additional licenses.

As a concrete example, let’s say you offer a course that a hospital wants to offer to the majority of their staff. If were you create accounts for the hospital’s staff directly in your HCE learning environment, you would have to pay for these licenses. But if the learner’s were to enrol in your course via their employer’s learning environment powered by Dual Code, you wouldn’t have to pay for any user licenses for these users. This could save you thousand of dollars annually.

titleHow easy it is to administer OCI?

Very easy.

  • OCI is similar to any other search engine (e.g. Google, Bing). It scans the Dual Code network for courses already available to the general public, and lists them. There is nothing for you to do. If you later on decide to delete, hide or restrict your course, the OCI directory will unlist it automatically.

  • Dual Code provides technical support to OCI learners, which means you don’t have to. If you sell your courses using HCE Express, Dual Code handles all of the transactions. This includes payment (by credit card, cheque or EFT), refunds and cancellations. At the end of each month, you will receive a Statement of Remittance and your proceeds will be deposited in your bank account.

titleHow do I list a course on the OCI Marketplace?

OCI functions similarly to other search engines like Google or Bing. It scans the Dual Code network for courses that are publicly available and lists them accordingly.

OCI also verifies certain aspects of your course and uses an algorithm to determine eligibility before including them in the OCI marketplace. If one of your courses does not appear in the OCI marketplace and you would like it to be listed, please contact our Help Desk.
