Knowledge Base

CEM knowledge base is a collection of articles, Power Point presentations, video clips and down loadable files in an ‘one stop shop’ which we hope will help schools and colleges use our systems more effectively.  Some of the items can only be accessed via the project secure web site and you will be required to enter your Project+ login to access them from here.  If you are not registered for the project you will not be able to access that information.
