ProLiteracy Utilizes IntraLearn Learning Management System to Promote Adult Literacy Programs

Northboro, MA (PRWEB) April 8, 2008

Adult literacy program directors, instructors, trainers, and volunteer tutors looking to learn about working with the federal budgeting process will sign onto the Web site of the world's largest organization of adult basic education and literacy programs, but they'll be using a learning management system developed by IntraLearn Software Corporation (ISC).

ProLiteracy Worldwide, of Syracuse, NY, supports local programs that teach reading, writing, English as a second language, and basic math skills to adults with instructional materials and professional development -- courses that help instructors become better teachers and service providers operate more efficiently. It has been using IntraLearn technology to create, deliver, manage, and assess its interactive, online-based professional development services ever since it received a grant from the Verizon Foundation to establish an e-learning site that literacy programs, volunteers, and adult learners could access for information and training.

"We needed a system that was easy-to-use for both the people who are writing the courses and the people taking the courses," said Spencer Lovelace, Director of Information Technology for ProLiteracy. "It had to be reliable and it had to be royalty-free because all the courses on the Verizon Literacy site are available at no charge. IntraLearn fit the criteria on all counts."

Pleased with the software, ProLiteracy is making the IntraLearn LMS, used to develop, disseminate, and assess professional development courses, available on its web site as well as for e-education developed in connection with another literacy and education nonprofit organization.
