Mastery Runtime System

The centerpiece of the Mastery Advantage™
The Mastery Runtime System is the “engine” that drives all Mastery Platform courses and provides all courseware management functions.
The Mastery Runtime System is unique not only in its immense capabilities, but it is also unique in the way it is licensed. The Runtime System is licensed on a “per site” basis and is included with every Mastery Advantage™ course sold by Mastery. 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:

	(1)		“Standard” Mastery course or Course Shell, or
	(2)		“Third party” instructional lesson (Authorware, PowerPoint, etc.) running as a guest in a MODIFY™ Course Shell, or
	(3)		Free-standing Non-Mastery course being managed and delivered by the Mastery Runtime System.
