Learning Management System will run on Java 2 Enterprise Edition and comes with IBM's WebSphere portal server. Users of Lotus Domino also will be able to take advantage of the threaded-discussion feature in Domino to communicate during online courses. The system is compatible with other threaded-discussion software. The package costs about $60 per user
