The administrative interface allows users to administer the system through a web browser and supports online and mobile registration of learners and communication for in-person[5][6] and online training events. The application includes online transcripts, tracking of professional certifications, and an integration with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Program and Reporting System (PARS) web service.[7]
API
editThe EthosCE Course object API can be used to define learning objects to be added to a workflow with built in support for Drupal nodes to be part of a course requirement workflow including multiple course objects. The API allows other content/assessments or non-Drupal (external) objects to be delivered and tracked as course content, and it provides access to taking or enrolling learners into courses.[8]

editEthosCE was originally released 14 April 2009[9] by DLC Solutions. Version 7.4 discontinued support for creating Moodle course objects and integrated an external SCORM/TinCan/xAPI player and was released 12 December 2014.[1]
