EdTek Services Selects the it’s learning LMS to Support their Online Learning Partnerships

EdTek Services’ higher education customers to be offered the multimedia capabilities and individualized learning support of the “it’s learning” virtual learning environment

Boston, MA – January 13, 2009 – After a worldwide review of Learning Management System (LMS) companies, EdTek Services, Inc., a provider of accreditation, program development, student recruitment, program management and eLearning technology services for small to mid-sized colleges and universities, has chosen it’s learning as the company’s course management solution. EdTek will offer its customers the it’s learning Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) designed for individualized learning, easy implementation and cost effective use.

“As our small to medium size higher education partners became savvier about their online offerings, we found a need to provide them with a robust and cost-effective alternative to the limited and increasingly expensive choices we have had in North America for the last ten years,” said Paul Jacobelli, Founder and President of EdTek Services. “The it’s learning platform provides the multitude of features we were searching for in an LMS, with unparalleled ease of use and excellent support services.  In a cost comparison we determined that adopting the it’s learning LMS was less than going the open-source route while getting the best that open-source offered right out of the gate. This LMS will serve as a valuable resource for both our current and future customers.”

EdTek Services was established in 2003 to help smaller education institutions enhance their on-ground and online programs by providing them with comprehensive accreditation, student recruitment, program management, course development and administrative support solutions. Through strategic partnerships with leading technology and content companies, EdTek Services offers a complete package of products and services for smaller education institutions that wish to supplement their on-ground programs or offer fully online degrees.

“This partnership will allow us to share our platform with the tens of thousands of college students and faculty who are part of the EdTek network,” said Jon Bower, President of it’s learning, inc. “With it’s learning, small colleges will be able to supply the same level of services as their larger regional and national competitors, and instructors can easily individualize their instruction to ensure better outcomes for each and every student.”
