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.
  

User experience design is one of the most important disciplines in software development. The practice involves constant improvement based on user behavior and emergence of new tools and techniques.

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.

The Accord LMS now comes with a state of the art responsive skin and Learner catalog templates.  These allow the Accord to properly present on any size of device - from 300 pixels wide to over 1000.

Clients who are hosting the Accord LMS on their own servers need to be aware of the server requirements to support DotNetNuke 7.  Hosted SaaS clients do not need to be concerned as the Accord servers are maintained for you and are already up to par.

The Accord LMS Learner interface can now be presented in a List View format.  The modern and attractive iPad/Mobile compatible layout is easy to navigate and provides excellent response for large catalogs. Quick Links provide immediate access to associated Transcripts and Resources.

The Accord LMS provides token/template support for the Learning Event Catalog.  The Catalog can be customized to your specifications using whatever font, backgrounds, images and layout you need to achieve your desired presentation.

The Interzoic Show & Hide module can be used to selectively show or hide third party modules on your Learner Dashboard, or any other Learner or Manager user interface.

Report Filter settings can now be saved as a “Definition”. This will store a snapshot of all report filter settings to create, in effect, a ‘canned’ report. Definitions can then be automatically delivered, on a schedule, to designated Managers.
