AICC Certifies Docent Enterprise

Docent Enterprise 4 Passes AICC/CMI Certification

The Aviation Industry CBT Committee this week certified Docent Enterprise 4 as compliant with AGR 010 (The AICC Guideline for Web Based Computer Managed Instruction Systems - CMI). Docent Enterprise is the second web-based CMI System to be certified by the AICC.

By meeting the AICC CMI Web Based specification, Docent Enterprise 4 can communicate performance data between their CMI system and interactive online content regardless of vendor. Courseware vendors can produce lessons to the AICC standard for communicating with a CMI, these lessons can be tracked and managed by Docent Enterprise 4 without the courseware provider needing to know the details of how Docent Enterprise 4 works. Docent Enterprise 4 will also allow courseware vendors to provide files that can be imported into the system to set up the course structure so that it need not be set up manually. Docent Enterprise 4 is also capable of exporting courses in this format.

"We believe that AICC certification, not just compliance is critical to establish standards for this industry. That is why Docent made the commitment to certification," said Dave Mandelkern, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Docent, Inc.

William A. McDonald, Chairman of the AICC Independent Test Lab Committee, said "This marks a very significant milestone for the AICC as Docent is the first major LMS (Learning Management Systems) vendor in this business to become AICC-certified for the Web. I expect that other ‘big names’ in the LMS market will now follow Docent’s lead."
