[OPLINLIST] Learning Express Revisited

[Dan Nixon]

Half a loaf, I suppose ... . What's missing is the separate login/user as currently accessed for LEL, etc. It appears you keep track of your test scores/progress etc. but only if you create an OMJ account. Otherwise, it's an anonymous login as described on the OMJ landing page URL'd below.
Ironically, our town, Wilmington in Clinton County, will see its "historic" 1918 theater get $1M in this biennium to fix its roof, etc. It's all about priorities, eh? Or maybe it's about visibility?

> In a time when the governor and legislature is pushing retraining and improving job skills, it just does not make sense to drop this database. Our rural community depends on access to these training tools to hone skills in everything from computer use  to studying for college prep tests to training for certification in a number of fields.

> When we provide computer training, we highlight these resources and folks are thrilled to learn about them. We will be hard-pressed to find resources as organized and as easily navigable as these are.

> If anyone has any insights to another resource (besides YouTube and googling for training materials), please let me know. I am very disappointed at the loss of this database.
