The first new edition of Open ELms has been nearly 2 years in development and has been completely rewritten, with a dramatic improvement in speed and overall design.

The system retains all the business friendly features of Open ELms 6, but this version is written in PHP/My SQL uses Moodle as the underlying engine. This means it is much more compatible with existing Moodle installations, allowing a business focused alternative to the industry standard LMS.

The system was launched on 1st November 2013 and has already been rolled out to many of e-Learning WMB's clients.
