- Instructors can manage their classrooms manually or through the subscription process.
- Instructor-lead learning and presentation systems
- Offline competency management along with gradebook integration
- Detailed student managment
- Online profile management

- And much, much more!
Each of these activities has a robust list of features as well. The LMS is built on a mature CMS and has added features based on over 25 years of learning management development.
These features are suited for most any distance learning application for schools, trade schools, continuing education, trade union education offerings and really any learning situation whether it is graded or certified or not. Hours may be logged and participation can even be simply a time requirement. Stand-alone course systems can run themselves or be fully managed by you or a group of instructors.
Content can feature a mixture of text content, graphics, animations, audio and video with a variety of tools to help manage and present that content. There are even special utilities that can help convert content in traditional formats to work well on the web.
