No More KnowledgeNet: KnowledgeNet Server to be Retired

By Dr. Elizabeth Hinkle-Turner, Student Computing Services Manager

For several years, UNT offered computer-based training from two companies: SkillSoft and Thomson NETg (KnowledgeNet). With the acquisition of Thomson NETg by SkillSoft, we are now back to a single vendor. The Thomson NETg/KnowledgeNet server which was providing training on Office 2003 materials will be officially retired at the end of the month and a new computer-based training website will be created to reflect this change. Stay tuned for next month's Benchmarks Online for the unveiling of the new site.

UNT community members should not mourn this loss, however, (well, were any of you REALLY mourning this loss?!) because since the Thomson NETg learning materials have been acquired by SkillSoft, their contents appear on our SkillSoft website.

Anyone wishing to have a report run of their KnowledgeNet training before the server goes away forever, can contact me at ehinkle@unt.edu.
