The new year is traditionally the time for both reflection and
resolutions. In our topical review of developments over the past
year, we point out the most significant changes for training
professionals using online services - but these pale into
insignificance compared with the new features that will become
available to you as this new year progresses. Take a sneak

are currently making the news. We've brought all of them together
for you here, together with some highlights from each
conversation. Read on and enjoy!
