The FlexTraining learning management system was first introduced in 1998, and is marketed and developed by National Training Systems Inc., based in Tampa Florida.
FlexTraining is currently in use at several hundred corporate, non-profit, and government organizations, with an estimated user base of over a million online learners. The purpose of the FlexTraining product is to bring to the small and mid-market customers a richer feature set than had been available elsewhere, and to provide all required tools for online training in one package. Secure access, top-down authorization, and a built-in address book functions support internal and external communication capabilities. An array of point-and-click setup screens allow administrators to select features that are tailored to meet the needs of online learners, without programming.
In 2004, FlexTraining introduced its Login & Go service, which provides a complete learning environment without requiring a customer to purchase software. This delivery model, often called a "SaaS" (software as a service) program, is provided at various fee levels, depending on the number of online learners to be trained.

Boston-NeuroTalks consolidates talk announcements of neuroscience and cognitive science in the greater Boston area.
Significance
It is the largest free service of the same kind and popularly accessed in the format of email or calendar.
As of 2009, around 700 (cognitive) neuroscientists are using Boston-NeuroTalks.
As a service for one of the major (cognitive) neuroscience communities in the world, the mission of Boston-NeuroTalks is to help the latest neuroscientific discoveries to spread faster and wider, thus expediting the understanding of the human brain. In addition, the talk database can be used for neuroinformatics studies on the development and relationship of key concepts or opinion leaders in (cognitive) neuroscience.
Inspired by Boston-NeuroTalks, similar services are provided in other cities such as Trieste area Cognitive Science and Neuroscience talks.
Email Service
In 2000, the Boston-NeuroTalks emailing list was founded as a Yahoo group to solve the problem that students often miss out on interesting talks not because they don't get the announcments, but because they don't realize their relevance. Therefore, the early version of Boston-NeuroTalks not only forwarded the time/place/title info, but also prefaced many of the notices with mini intros briefly explaining who the speaker is and why the talk might be interesting.
Calendar Service
In 2007, an accompanied calendar service was introduced to organize around 800 announcements
sent out per year by Boston-NeuroTalks. In 2008, more
than 1000 events with detailed abstracts were calendared, which translates to 3 talks per day on average. In 2009, [http://cns.bu.edu/~tren/ical/doc Boston-NeuroTalks Calendar 2.0] implemented the idea of WikiCalendar on the Google platform. Users of Google Calendar can freely add/edit entries in the Boston-NeuroTalks calendar once the permission is passed down from other users.
