I am so glad you asked that because it has been a source of confusion for some time now! The Mobius Institute has sold a popular suite of iLearn products for a number of years. The most popular of these are iLearnVibration and iLearnAlignment.  These are CD based training products that include self paced narrated presentations along with quizzes to test your knowledge. The products also contain a number of simulators that you can play with to help you deepen your understanding while also expe...

If you have never trained yourself, then perhaps you feel that the only way to learn is in a classroom. But why don’t you give it a try? We are confident that you will succeed because:

1. Our narrated training makes the learning process easier and more enjoyable. Reading is tiring, and it is easy to lose track and lose focus (and interest). So each of our slides has just a small amount of information, and the text is read to you.

2. We use lots of animations, but we ...

One benefit of classroom training is the opportunity to speak with other budding vibration analysts – see if they are facing the same challenges as you, share experiences, and so on. In a distance learning class, you can do the same things, but you do them via our forum and via e-mail contact with your fellow students and instructor. We do encourage you to make contact with the other people in your class.

Of course, if you are willing to travel, you may consider visiting a mainte...

The Mobius Institute offers courses in a variety of formats. There is classroom training, both on-site and public, which should not be hard to understand - but what about all of the eLearning or distance learning options? What do they mean and what are the differences between them? Here is a brief explanation.

Distance learning:  This is a general term to describe any formal course that is not taught by an instructor in a classroom. All of the options that follow are fo...

Web based courses:  Many of the Mobius Institute courses are available in digital format which means they may be accessed over the Internet or delivered on a CD.  You can enroll in some of our courses right from this website and begin learning immediately! We have a number of ways to deliver this digital content, the method that is best for you will depend mainly on how many people in your facility would like to receive the training and how you are connected to the Internet. ...

We will help you to identify where your weaknesses lie, and we will direct you to the training that will get you up to speed. We will offer you a second attempt at the exam one month after the initial attempt for a $150 re-sit fee. If you fail again, you can join the next class with a 40% discount.

An invigilator is someone who watches students take an exam in order to prevent them from cheating. Another term for this is "proctor."  In order to protect the integrity of the certification process, the Mobius Institute utilizes invigilators or proctors to give the exams to eLearning or Distance Learning students.  When selecting an invigilator it is important to make sure they are honest and have no interest in whether a student passes an exam or not.  Some examples of people who may make ...

Learning Management System (LMS):  This describes a computer based training delivery system that allows an administrator to track a students' prgress through a course. An administrator can see how much time the student spent looking at the course materials, review quiz scores and see how quickly the student is progressing through the course. The Mobius Institute utilizes an LMS called "moodle" www.moodle.org which complies with AICC and SC...

In brief, you take the training from the comfort and convenience of your workplace or home. The course is presented to you in digital format either via the Web or from a CD.  Some of our courses include a mentoring option which gives you access to our instructors via email or chat. If you take one of the courses with a certification option, you may take the exam at the end of the course.  You do not need to travel. You can learn at your own pace. You can get help from our instructors. These b...

eLearning:  This term is interchangeable with distance learning, it refers to a course delivered in digital format, which may include videos, audio, simulators, animations and other electronic media to help you understand the concepts. The only difference is that distance learning often includes a mentoring option from a live instructor. Because our eLearning courses are in digital format, they can be delivered via the Web, via the web using our Learning Management System (LM...

First Sales FAQ comes here for test

The answer is "no" - the red network dongle simply needs to be on another computer in your network. The computer where you have loaded iLearn must be able to "see" the computer with the red network dongle and needs the rights or priveleges to access the dongle manager on that computer.

This error can be caused by a defective dongle, or a dongle that is not programmed or has somehow been erased. In order to verify what the problem is, first ask yourself if the product was working before, and if it is not working now, what has changed?

Please check the following:

1. Go to the \HASP folder and run: checksecurity.exe - if the dongle is connected correctly to the PC and is powered (the red light is on) and if it is programmed etc. then this program will verify that t...

If you have this problem, presumably it is because you have an old version of iLearnVibration but you have purchased a new computer without an LPT (printer) port. If this is the case, you have a few options:

1. Revert to using the product on a PC with an LPT port.

2. Switch your license to a software license type. (at no cost)

3. Upgrade to a USB dongle ($95 USD + shipping and handling)

Option 2 instructions

1. On the old PC on which you were run...

If you would like to install the red network security dongle on a server or virtual server with no USB ports, you can do so via the "Anywhere USB" product below:

The Mobius Institute has no affiliation with this product or company, so you will have to ask the product supplier for support in installing and using their product.

There are a number of reasons why you may see these messages. As always, if the product was working before but it is not working now, try to think about what has changed. Please check the following:

1. Is the dongle installed on the PC? Is it plugged all the way into the USB port? If you are using a USB hub, is it powered and connected to the computer?

2. Is the red light on in the dongle? is it powered?

     => If not the dongle or the USB port may be damaged - try conne...

If you received the message that one of these .ili files is missing then this is probably what happened:

You received this product (CD) as part of a distance learning or classroom course, however, when you registered the software you said that it was a full commercial version or an iLearnProfessional version. The licensing for the dongle now doesn't match the software you actually have. Here are a two options:

1. You can reinstall the software and this time select the correct prod...

If you see one of the following messages when attempting to run iLearnVibration: MobiusSecurity.ocx or Hasp.ocx not registered or the message "You don't have admin priveleges", fear not, there has simply been a problem installing the security dongle drivers. All you have to do now is install them again manually, then continue the installation of the iLearnVibration software.

Here is one example of the error message:

Here are the steps you need to follow in order to install a network license product:

1. You only need to install the License Manager on one computer – typically a server, but it does not have to be. 
   1. The red dongle is placed on t...
