Initially I apologize if anyone receives this mail on a cross-posting.
I have seen a lot of discussions about the evaluation and comparison of web
course management tools or on-line learning environments and would be
interested in receiving direct comments or suggestions about our product.
A Call for Evaluators
----------------------
At the present time,CourseInfo, developers of the Interactive Learning
Network ver 1.5, is looking for people to evaluate our new product. Recent
developments have been based on instructional designer and instructor input
from many areas of study.
It is your participation that helps CourseInfo maintain a premier product
for education.
You may evaluate our product by going to our home page at
http://www.courseinfo.com and taking a test drive.
We will leave the course you create on our server for you to try for a
period of two weeks, unless you request it for a longer period. We limit it
to two weeks without a request for fear of filling up our server with
unused courses. Please submit any questions comments or ideas to
input@courseinfo.com
You will notice that our internal discussion board and assessment are not
attached. They are in final Beta testing and are due for release in the
next few weeks. I am sure you will find them exceptional when they are
released. Thank you for your participation.
A call for Instructional Designers and Educational Programmers
--------------------------------------------------------------
CourseInfo is presently relocating from Ithaca,NY to Boston,MA and is
interested in obtaining qualified educational personnel to participate in
our growth.
CourseInfo is a young growing company that has been providing educational
technologies to academic institutions for several years. CourseInfo's
initial product "The Teachers ToolBox" was adapted for use at Cornell
University and many other institutions in order to evaluate uses of such a
product. After months of research and evaluation CourseInfo developed the
Interactive Learning Network. The Interactive Learning Network was designed
to run on UNIX systems with a version for Win NT dated in the end of '98
and provides instructors with technologies that allow them to create
interactive teaching environments.
The Interactive Learning Network has already incorporated asynchronous and
synchronous communication tools as well as advanced assessment tools.
CourseInfo's next goal is to create tools that allow instructors to create
advanced tutorials and interactive lessons.
Our clients range from large universities to small community colleges and
even some secondary institutions. It is our attempt to find instructional
designers that have an understanding of teaching in the higher education
area as well as the K-12 environment.
If you are interested in participation with CourseInfo and have experience
in instructional design or educational technologies and plan on being
within the Boston area you may send a resume or curricula vitae to
resume@courseinfo.com
I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your attention to this
matter.
