El Segundo, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2008 -- Accordent Technologies, Inc., today announced the immediate availability of the Accordent Media Management System (AMMS) Certification Module 2.1 with array of new testing, tracking and certification features designed to meet growing demand for online continuing medical education, continuing legal education and government-mandated safety, financial and human resource compliance programs.

?    Audience Tracking: When integrated with client Active Directory services, the enhanced Certification Module can track responses to questions, question sets and surveys to provide detailed reports on how individuals and organizational groups are performing;

?    Automated Test Administration: Program administrators can set pass/fail thresholds based on the number of correct responses and place a limit on the number of times an individual can attempt to pass a test before they must re-take the course;

?    Automatic Online Certificates: The AMMS Certification Module 2.1 can automatically generate customized and personalized online certificates upon successful test completion;

?    Auditable Certification Reports: When integrated with client Active Directory Services, the system can record which viewers have watched each presentation, for how long they watched it, and how they interacted with the material. This viewer tracking and reporting functionality provides an auditable record for professional certification and compliance programs
