This article reviews some of the tools currently available to guide learners through their assigned curricula.

After more than a year of development and countless hours of consultation with existing clients and design experts, Accord is prepared to release the newest version of it’s powerful Learning Management System.

This feature allows content publishers to distribute their courses while still maintaining control of the content, and also managing the user count and time frame licensing for each customer organization.
