compliance wire

English translation: wire, as in newswire

23:58 Aug 21, 2008
English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers (general) / e-learning
English term or phrase: compliance wire
The term comes from the e-learning website. I do not have too much of the context as the text is in Excel, only:
Compliance wire window
Compliance wire message

I have a problem mostly with wire in this context.
Could you help me?

Selected answer:wire, as in newswire
Explanation:
It's e-learning, so the teaching institution must give instructions to the students, more or less regularly. Instructions can be given in a compliance message. Just as a newswire delivers news, the compliance wire delivers messages. Those messages are called compliance messages, and they are also called compliance wire messages. The compliance wire messages shows up in the compliance wire window.

I'm not sure about this. It's just my guess. You must ask yourself if it makes sense.

agree  Martin Cassell: as good a guess as any: I would guess that "compliance" is an area of study (legal/regulatory compliance), so the "wire" will be related to that subject

  -> Interesting suggestion! Thanks a lot! I had the idea that the messages were instructions that the students should comply to, but it's hard to say with so little context.

Explanation:
ComplianceWire (one word) is a US FDA (Food & drug association) training program with many online learning opportunities.

If this is what you are working with, then the 'window' and 'message' could conceivably be simple operations / navigation terms.
