contents from many companies : NETg, Skillsoft, Explio, Microsoft, Macromedia, etc.

a list of users in MS Excel. OpenOffice can export to both CSV and XML formats.

export to CSV and/or XML.


Dokeos includes a LDAP module that allows admin to deactivate MySQL authentication

and replace it by connection to a LDAP directory.
