E-learning solutions provider and distance learning leader, Compass Knowledge Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CKNO – news), announced that its “Requisites of a Leader” distance learning program (“ROL Program”), provided by its subsidiary, the Educators’ Learning Network (eLNet), has been recognized by the University of Dayton as a program for which the University will allow graduate credits granted.

Teachers and administrators participating in the ROL Program can now receive graduate credits from the University of Dayton. “We’re impressed with the quality of the Requisites of a Leader program and are proud to add this new distance learning program and its content to the University’s School of Education offerings,” said C. Daniel Raisch, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Administration, School of Education. Professional educators seeking credit hours can now apply these transferable credits to Masters Programs for license renewals as well as graduate credits.

“The University of Dayton has done a lot of due diligence on both our content and unique distance learning delivery methods. After a department and faculty review, both teams are in agreement that this program can dramatically increase child learning through the knowledge of teachers and administrators,” said Larry Rowedder, CEO & President of eLNet.

The Dayton area public schools, through the Miami Valley Teachers Academy, has signed a contract with eLNet to receive multiple professional development programs, which are delivered to teachers and education professionals via the internet and satellite broadcasts. This is one of several school systems in Ohio to adopt the eLNet distance learning program, increasing the number of schools offering the program to over 220 statewide.

The Educators’ Learning Network focuses on career development and graduate degree programs for K-12 educational professionals and uses the latest distance learning and internet technology to deliver its flagship program, Requisites of a Leader, to over 650 schools nationwide. This three-year program focuses on leadership techniques from both the educational and corporate environments and often features guest appearances of executives from some of the nation’s most successful corporations.
