Virtual Ed Link, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VRED) -- Dr. Alan McCartney, COO
of Virtual Ed Link (www.virtualedlink.org) announced today its
plans to include an Internet Security Online eLearning Course as
part of its integrated Safety and Security Management System
(SSMS).
The FCC has proposed web-safety education. Schools and libraries
receiving federal e-Rate funding would have to submit proof that
they have implemented internet safety education programs along with
their e-Rate applications, according to a new Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking issued by the Federal Communications Commission. This
was a major topic of discussion at the Annual Joint Education
Association Convention in Atlantic City attended by approximately
10,000 school board members, school administrators and school
business officials. They jointly represent the education and
related health and safety interests of New Jersey's 1.4 million
public school students.
Virtual Ed Link, in conjunction with WISE eLearning Solutions,
is currently developing this on-line (web based) course for adults.
This version of the course (60 minutes) is designed for parents,
grandparents, and legal guardians responsible for the safety and
well-being of children. This course will provide them with a better
understanding of how children are using the Internet and will
assist them in dealing with Internet-related threats. They will
learn how to monitor their child's online activities, how to block
certain types of content, and employ safe computing practices.
"The eLearning component continues to be an integral part of the
SSMS product suite," stated Dr. Alan McCartney. "With the addition
of the Internet Security courseware, not only are we the premier
safety provider for school and private environments, we have now
extended our reach into the family and community as well."
Virtual Ed Link management believes the new courseware will be
available for release in early March and ready for deployment to
schools and organizations nationally. The student version is slated
for development and release at a later date.
The integration of eLearning, a world class notification system
and the ability to continually receive up-to-date data, clearly
puts Virtual Ed Link into a leadership role in technology devoted
to the protection and safety of school children and communities
throughout the United States.
