Terminology - What's in a name?

At the moment we're calling the Moodle site the 'Online Learning Portal' but my manager isn't sold on the name and neither am I honestly.  I have a meeting about the site tomorrow so I'm going to march in there with a list of words and make someone pick a new name.

I'm not going to lie, I used a thesaurus.  Pick a word from list A and a word from List B and voilĂ !  You have a name for your training site.

List AList B
LearningZone
TrainingFactory
KnowledgeBuilder
SkillsNetwork
StudyGuide
VirtualHub
eLearningSite

Any more ideas?

 Another term on the hit list is Lesson.  I have each of the courses broken up into sections which I have called Lessons.  I don't want to have to change this term as I have used it throughout the site including in buttons.  I'm hoping if I add a kind of sub title (e.g. Lesson 1 - Marketing) that it will be satisfactory.  The only alternatives to 'lessons' I can think of are 'sections' or 'sessions' and I think they sound worse than lesson.
