CN was invented and developed based on the emerging concept of course "networking", as opposed to course "management". CourseNetworking offers a global, academic social-networking site with unique, next-generation technology solutions for learning and collaboration for universities, K-12 institutions, corporations for training purposes and organizations interested in connecting people around the world for knowledge sharing. CN is designed to complement existing learning management systems (LMS) as an LTI Plug-in, or to be used as a full-scale LMS and Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) provider, operating on a worldwide academic social network platform. Additionally, CN is home of one of the most intuitive ePortfolio products on the market! Membership and course hosting is free to all individual members throughout the world. Optional paid service agreements to schools, corporations, and other organizations are available for a subscription to a private CN channel, integration with existing systems and advanced analytics. The CN is built to make learning, teaching and sharing easy and engaging. Within minutes, an instructor can create a course site for their courses and invite students to join. CN is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, with offices in Guangzhou, China and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
