Why exporting content

  learning environment
• Creation of customised courses
• Individual control of access rights
• Definition of user roles
• Tracking of learner activity
• Additional functionalities chat, bulletin
  board, helpdesk
• But it can act as a learning content management
  system and deliver high quality learning material
