Testimonial: "Congratulations on the site. I am vice president of a training company in Alexandria, Virginia. I have been thinking a lot about distance learning and looking at a lot of examples. Yours is one of the best I've seen-easy to use, fun, and inviting. It is really inspiring to me as I try to see how our courses could be offered in a new way. Grazie, Sally"
