Northboro, MA (PRWEB) May 13, 2008 -- Business Performance Technology (BPTech) and IntraLearn Software Corporation (ISC) today announced that EducateYourself Co., Inc. has begun use of the IntraLearn Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver and manage their TalkTrain™ offering. Consisting of a series of web-based courses with audio/video, tracked progress, and navigation tools, TalkTrain helps learners improve their American English conversational skills.

Millions of people worldwide, who have learned English through various avenues such as school, ESL programs, or introductory online programs, have the desire to take their basic understanding of the language to the next level. TalkTrain successfully addresses this need by focusing on real-world conversations where the understanding of idioms and colloquialisms is essential. With TalkTrain, EducateYourself has created a product that is affordable, effective, and keeps the learner's interest throughout the program.

TalkTrain.com, through the IntraLearn LMS hosted by BPTech, can assist individuals with high speed internet access who want to take their English to the next level as well as multinational companies who are seeking to improve their employees' American English proficiency for improved communication with American colleagues, increased productivity, and more natural conversations. Additionally, colleges, schools, and universities who want to improve their students' American English proficiency for better grades and improved personal and professional experiences can utilize the program.

"TalkTrain was based on a highly successful product in the form of books and cassettes that helped thousands of people take their English language proficiency to a higher level. IntraLearn Software was proactive in assisting us with the selection of an e-Learning courseware development firm that could transform it into a modern medium so that it could be used by many more people around the world. We selected BPTech, an IntraLearn Learning Service Provider (LSP). The combination of technology, hosting services, content, and custom development made the entire process of bringing our product and service to market a much simpler and streamlined event," said James Glick of EducateYourself. "By housing our content within the IntraLearn LMS, we will be able to seamlessly integrate our product into many corporate computer networks giving them the ability to distribute TalkTrain to end users all over the world while administering their investment and learners' progress from a central location."

"The flexibility of the IntraLearn platform to work with highly interactive Flash courses at an affordable price was important to our customer," said Peter Barrett, President of BPTech. "The ability to create a custom web page directly within the IntraLearn LMS and to make custom modifications to the environment provided EducateYourself with the solution that was needed for their diverse audience."

The initial TalkTrain offering consists of three learning levels, 25 courses and 125 lessons. Future offerings from EducateYourself include a business-specific product and a beginner ESL product.
