The Online College Implements the Learn.com LearnCenter to Power the World's First Full-Service Online Career College
(ContentDesk) July 8, 2006 -- Learn.com?, the global leader in creating and projecting power-on-demand, today announced that The Online College, based in Saskatoon Canada, has implemented the LearnCenter Learning and Performance Management Suite to be the foundation for the worlds first fully online career college. As a teacher and manager in the secondary and post-secondary system for 25-years, I have found that todays brick and mortar schools are not meeting the needs of many students, said Marie Kent, Principal at The Online College. As attendance grows, classrooms become more and more crowded, and scheduling becomes less flexible.
Our goal was to build the first online career college that meets the needs of each individual student while providing them with an accredited education. Throughout my career in education, I have been active in industry professional associations and government advisory committees and always search for better ways to deliver college services to a vast and varied student population. Our first challenge was to find a proven partner that could provide both a robust learning management system and an online course library that were mutually low-bandwidth friendly.
We selected the Learn.com LearnCenter because of the true flexibility of the software and because the company does not use third party components to enhance the functionality of the system.
The LearnCenter is 100% Learn.com owned and operated, which gives us peace of mind knowing that there will never be third party hold ups or multiple vendors to contact for support.
In addition, Learn.coms business model makes the integration of content easy and assures that the tracking and reporting are flawless, said Kent. Using LearnCenter, The Online College delivers a wide menu of career diploma programs, certificate courses and GED preparation to students that are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The courses are accessible over the internet and can be taken from the comfort of home over a connection speed as low as 28.8 kbps.
We are very excited about this new venture and partnership with Learn.com, said Kent.

Aging and Mid Life Crisis
Isn't it time to put into action all the things you dream about?
Have you not spent the first 20 years of your life being trained and conditioned
as someone's child or student?
Following all the instructions and rules set forth before you.
Remember those that ended up rebellious always paying the task masters for that small taste of self expression?
Along comes the next 20 years where we believe that we are putting into reality our own ideas and life desires.
We become someone's mate, parent, employee and still keep our place that society has molded for us.
We seem to be performing that wonderful balancing act of keeping everyone in our lives happy with our choices.
Time is passing and something inside tells us that we aren't
fulfilled where we are in life.
That all these choices have been for everyone else in our lives and not for us.
There must be something more out there!...
