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.

A new library of Accord LMS video tutorials has been created.  Some of the videos provide basic feature overviews while others drill down into more advanced feature configuration. New content will be added to the library on a regular basis.

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.

We've been quietly working away for the last month on the new Accord LMS website.

“We were delighted to find the Accord LMS – it uses modern technology, has a low profile with a modular design and the value cannot be beat. Other LMSs were literally 20 times the price, or required periodic deletion of training records. The templating engine is great. It allows us to customize the learner user experience for each client."

Accord LMS is pleased to announce that Jeff Redford has joined the company as Customer Support Manager.  Jeff's responsibilities include client satisfaction and business development.

Accord LMS is now a DNN Certified Module Developer and Affiliate Sales Partner.

The release of IE 9 has created problems for most eLearning tools.  Here are the known problems and their status.

“Managing our training for different groups of Learners from all over the country is easy and efficient. Learners benefit from an intuitive UI and immediate access to their training results.  Support is awesome - any question or technical issue is addressed immediately. The Accord LMS is absolutely fantastic given the cost and ease of use."
