October 22, 2002

GeoLearning, Inc., a leading developer of learning management systems and Web-based training solutions, announced today that it has developed a strategic content partnership with GeneEd, the leading provider of e-learning content focused on life sciences. GeoLearning and GeneEd will work together to meet the life science, scientific, and medical training needs of GeoLearning’s current and future customers throughout the public and private sectors, and GeneEd has integrated its e-learning courseware within GeoLearning’s ASP-delivered GeoMaestro™ learning management system and e-learning delivery platform.

GeneEd’s catalog of over 150 life science e-learning courses—in such subject areas as the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, genomics, molecular biology, good laboratory practices, good manufacturing practices and computer-assisted drug design—have been integrated with the GeoMaestro™ learning management system. GeoMaestro™ is the learning management system and e-learning delivery platform behind the Gov Online Learning Center (www.golearn.gov), the U.S. federal government’s employee training site. The system provides easy one-stop access to just-in-time training for the 1.8 million people employed by the federal government.

“This new partnership adds an important library of courses to our ever-expanding online catalog,” said Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. “We are very excited to begin offering GeneEd’s interactive courses to our customers, and look forward to them opening up new opportunities with prospects.”

“The ability to deploy high quality, scientifically validated life science e-learning enables government departments and private sector organizations to deliver the mission-critical scientific and regulatory training their employees need to move those organizations forward,” said Salil Patel, PhD, chief science officer and co-founder of GeneEd. “GeneEd’s life science e-learning, integrated with GeoLearning’s GeoMaestro™ LMS, delivers the critical information these departments and organizations need in the rapidly advancing fields of therapeutic science, pharmaceutical and medical regulatory compliance, and the latest advancements in biopharmaceutical technology”.
