ARIS Online Academy | Lesson 1 "What is BPM"

We've noticed that Firefox as Internet browser doesnn't open the e-learning course properly.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please use Internet Explorer in the meantime.

We are working on on solution...

Cheers

Rune

I am getting a 'local storage error' when opening the page for this file.  I am using IE 7

thanks

The page doesn't open with Safari on a MAC 

We uploaded a new version of the online course, which should fix some of the problems with the various browser and popup blockes floating around. Can you please try again?

Regards,

Sebastian

Sorry Sebastian, no change for Safari.

Kind regards,

Hedwig

No change for my IE environment

This is something really good..!!

Very helpful contents for those who want to dive into BPM  world.

Is there an audit track for this course - it says so, but I don't get any audio. Also what is the right screen resolution reqd? I find that the full course window does not fit.

This is a great help for starters in BPM

It don't work as well on Firefox. But here's a plugin to use IE kernel with Firefox : IE Tab plugin

It work perfect with it but I hope it will be working directly on Firefox.

Pascal.

I'm  using Google chrome and the link is not working with me either 

Haddiah,

Google Chrome 3.0 should work fine.

But the courses are starting in full screen mode, means a popup will try to open up once you clicked a course link.

And you probably have set Chrome to block pop-ups like most people, right?

Well, if you did, it could happen that you simply overlooked the message in the lower right corner of Chrome saying "Pop-ups Blocked". If you see that mesage, just click on it and then on the link shown. Then the course should start up in a new window.

I hope this helps. For other browsers we are still working on a solution.

Cheers
Rune 

Very nice!

You may experience strange behavior when running these e-learning courses. That's due to a recent Flash update. I have to publishe al course again.

Please stay tuned for updates...

Hi everyone,

The ARIS Online Academy course Lesson 1: What is BPM has been fixed and uploaded on a new link!

It's now compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

In case you encounter still a problem playing the course, its exercises or printing out the exam certificate, please contact me.

Happy learning!

Cheers
Rune

I have completed the read through of the first course <What is BPM>. but it won't allow me to appear for the test. I am getting below message upon completion of course.

"you are not authorized to access this content. Please complete the required learning objects first."

Dear Amit,

Have you checked whether your learning progress shows all units with green icons?

In the course window click the progress icon on the top right:

Then you will see your learning progress:

If a unit is not indicated in green, the system will consider this as incomplete. Hence, denies you to take the exam.

Cheers
Rune

Yes.. There were few units marked as red. I cleared those and it allowed me to go through the certification.

Thanks !!

I'm  using Google chrome, IE and Firefox and the link is not working....  

The link opens a popup window. Is that maybe blocked in your browsers?

I just opened this course in Chrome 14, Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 5.0.1. In all browsers the link from the above icon worked fine.

Please copy that start link manually into your browser:

Hello,

When I starts video courses (Lessons 1-3), there are no sound and it's shown me that there is no *.mp3 file. What's the problem? 

Fix links to all media files on the website, please. There are no working links of pages with video tutorials for ARIS Business Architect.

Thanks!

Dear Iurii,

I just started all 3 lessons in Chrome v21, Internet Explorer v9 and Firefox v15.

All browsers worked fined and I heared the speaker loud and clear. Firefox gives the best experience.

Have you enabled popup windows in your browser?

If you see an error message, please upload a screenshot here.

About the video tutorials for ARIS Business Architect. Which one do you found not working?

On this page with video tutorials, all for ARIS Business Architect I just checked and they are all are working for me: 
http://www.ariscommunity.com/help/videos/platform

Try this tutorial from that page and let me know if you receive an error message instead of the video:

Cheers

I've checked it on Chrome v22 and IE7 but result is same:

Since both are built differently I guess there's a blocker for MP3 and MP4 files between our content and you.

Do you have a proxy or firewall in your network which could cause that file-type based blocking?

One last check for a MP4 file from my company's web site:
http://www.softwareag.com/corporate/images/Business%20Solutions%20Overvi...
Can you play that video or do you get another error message?

Anyway, I'll check at our end what could be potentially blocking you. But chances are very low since no one else reported that courses are incompletely loaded or video tutorials not loaded at all.

Cheers
Rune

Thanks for help. You are right. There are some limits in my office's network

Works pefectly well  even on Chrome 2

good work

Hi Rune, the tutorial was very well prepared. I enjoyed that. The only thing was that I had problem accessing the Examination section. The software had problem recognising the fact that I completed the course. I actually did the whole course 3 times. I had kept screens for each presentation page. Please kindly assist. There was no red marks. Thank you very much from iriskwok2003@hotmail.com. I am keen to access the Examination section and get the certificate.

Dear Iris,

I will have a look at it. Maybe it's related to a recent Flash update. Since the course content has been produced a longtime ago, we have to republish the courses again to get compliant with Adobe's newest changes.

First I have to get to the same point to understand what's went wrong. I will let you know when the exam is working again.

Cheers
Rune

Dear Rune,

I think you are right. I found an old computer at home which had an old Flash version and it worked wonderfully well. I should have done the course 6 times by now. I get my certificate for lesson1 ok. Thank you very much for replying to my mail. I aim to do the other lessons soon.  

Thank you again...

Cheers Iris

Still finding my way around Aris Community.  Good experience.  Will teach EPCs next week to undergrads in Ghana.

Thanks for your feedback, Kofi!

Make the first-time experience with EPC fun!

Some ideas to get your audience thinking about processes:
http://www.ariscommunity.com/users/deeptilad/2010-07-27-learning-aris-led-bpm-culture-fun

How your "process" for making coffee look like? Here's my end-to-end process "Prepare-to-Consume" which is till today a reference process of my company on public fairs:
http://www.ariscommunity.com/users/rbe/2009-08-13-prepare-consume-end-end-process-about-having-cup-coffee

Or how what about favorite dishes in cooking recipes?

Here are 2 EPC models of local dishes from small Saarland (state of Germany):
http://www.ariscommunity.com/tags/saarlandian-dish

If BPMN is already by your audience, try to "transform" these BPMN cooking recipes back in EPC models: http://www.ariscommunity.com/group/cooking-with-bpmn

Thanks Rune.  I am so excited.  This is a new thing in Ghana and your resources made it so easy for me and for my students too.  Thanks a lot. Whoa!  What a relief.  The standalone tutorial is great works well on my Windows Vista but does not open in Safari. 

Still going through the Online Academy materials on my MacBook Pro Safari.  Some of the lessons do not open.  I try the Windows Vista and see whether there will be some improvement.  Once again thanks a million times and keep up the good work
