A potential security issue exists in the Install Wizard functionality of the DNN portal framework. Accord support has already addressed the issue for all hosted SaaS clients. Self Hosted clients should read further to better understand the problem and their options.

The Accord LMS is constantly evolving. Based on customer requests and technology trends, Accord releases a great new set of LMS features, performance updates and UI enhancements every few months. 

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.

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.

Accord LMS 2.6.0 has been certified for compatibility with DotNetNuke 5.2.1+ and 6.0+.

DotNetNuke 5.6.3 includes a number of security updates and an updated Telerik ASP.NET AJAX controls which includes support for the final version of IE9.

“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."
