As part of the Extended Enterprise feature site, the Accord LMS is able to support unlimited channel portals. These can be used to provide privately branded portals for franchisees, distribution channels, partners, customers or any other purpose that servers your business.

For the past two years, Accord Social has been one of the top gamified and fully social LMS on the market. We are excited to announce that now the standard version of Accord LMS will now offer gamification features consisting of badges and leaderboards for no additional cost.

Integrating best of class authoring tools with the Accord LMS has never been easier. Seamlessly publish your content directly to the Accord with one easy step.

You are finally ready for a new LMS. Before you start comparing features and pricing, first evaluate how training is organized, delivered and managed in your organization.

The upcoming Accord LMS 4.03 release will provide an improved Learner user interface that is even easier to navigate for both PC and mobile users. Features include: theme enhancements; an updated home page; and a more intuitive Course and Learning Element presentation.

The upcoming Accord LMS version 4.02 supports Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) Sessions.  VILT Sessions are similar to Instructor Led Training (ILT) Sessions except that the Locations for VILT Sessions are virtually hosted via a webinar instead of a physical classroom. 

The upcoming Accord 4.0 release will include support for Instructor Led Training. The Accord can now integrate, track and report on classroom, online and virtual training along with any kind of document, file, image or video utilization – both local and remote.

During the User Registration process Access Codes can be submitted from a customized registration form, thereby automatically giving the Learner immediate access to their appropriate content. 

The new Accord Search indexing now includes all Learning Element meta data as well as words and phrases contained within SCORM, HTML, PDF, all Office documents and URLs (onsite and offsite). 

Accord LMS enables the gamification of your learning content by integrating Learning Element Education Activities with Gaming Activity Scoring and Badges. 

Access Codes can create user accounts in parent and child portals, assign Team membership, Learning Roles, and even LMS Admin status. Now you can specify limited usage, expiration dates and generate a list of unique codes for one shot use.
  

Reporting functionality continues to be one of the most important factors in the decision to purchase a Learning Management System.  Yet studies are showing that reporting is a leading cause of dissatisfaction among LMS users.

You can’t get too much of a good thing.  The already simple and intuitive Accord LMS Learner User Interface is updated and improved even more.

Bulk Learner Import now provides advanced HRIS support.  Learners along with their training assignments can be exported from an HRIS system to a CSV file and then FTPed to the Accord LMS server.  A scheduled Accord LMS service will look for the CSV file and then automatically import the Learners and their training assignments.

The Bulk Import UI for Accord 3.0 has been completely refactored with many more configuration options.  In addition, you can map your existing HRIS export Columns to any of the Accord LMS fields and then save as an Import Definition for later reuse.
