VACATION AND TAKE ADDITIONAL COURSES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF YOUR
CHOICE WITH THE STATE-OF-THE-ART e-education(TM) SOFTWARE
(CPWire) DENVER, COLORADO -- May 6, 1999 --
Now you can get that suntan while you acquire those extra credits in the accounting course
you wanted to take last semester, but didn`t have the time. Or you can work in that summer
internship program at that exclusive investment banking firm and get a few credits closer
to getting your MBA. Then there`s the once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe, but in between
the Tower of London and the Louvre you can ease your course load in the Fall by taking
those extra courses now.
How can you be in two places at once: your university campus and the beach? Welcome to the
world of Jones Knowledge.com, Inc., pioneers of education on the Internet, and its Jones`
e-education(TM) (''e-education''). With e-education, your university can put the courses
you want to take online. Everything from enrollment services, libraries for research,
grade books, tests, chat rooms and forums, course content and student bookstores can be
delivered to you online, wherever you are in the world. e-education delivers the course
you want from your university for the credits you need.
''e-education provides an unprecedented freedom and creativity to both students, faculty
and administrators,'' said Patti S. Billett, Vice President of Operations for e-education.
''It empowers the academic community and enhances its importance like never before because
in a way it enables them to transcend place and time. Online courses offer flexibility to
faculty and students because they can participate when it is convenient for them allowing
them to balance other daily responsibilities.''
e-education uniquely delivers 24 hour seven day a week technical customer support services
to the administrators, faculty and students taking courses. e-education was designed as a
result of twelve years of experience servicing and listening to the needs of students and
the academic community. The company has serviced more than 100 colleges and universities
across the country and has enrolled more than 30,000 students in online and distance
education courses for universities like the George Washington University, California State
University, Dominquez Hills, University of Northern Colorado, Regis University and others.
''The student does not have to buy the software because students can participate in online
courses by accessing the Web,'' explained Billett. ''Students can have autonomy and access
to a university`s excellent education online. Basically, all a student needs is a
computer, an Internet service provider, an Internet e-mail account and a Web browser. In
most cases, it`s the equipment the student already has.''
More than 50% of America`s universities offer online courses and Billett emphasizes the
importance of students communicating to their university that they desire to take courses
online. Billett says that universities are always endeavoring to be in touch with student
needs, and offer new and evolving services.
''e-education is a support vehicle, a supplement to a university`s excellence,'' said
Billett. ''e-education is the ultimate enabler for a university because it allows that
university to participate in an expanded marketplace, giving universities a global reach,
and in many instances we`ve seen, to service its current student population in a
value-added service. e-education also preserves, extends and enhances a university`s
traditions, culture, and vision and positions it in a powerful way for the next century.''
For students moving forward to the 21st century, e-education allows them to have it all,
enjoy their personal lives, meet financial/work obligations and further their career
aspirations by fulfilling their education goals in a convenient, effective and timely
manner.
