MEDIA RELEASE Algonquin
College Chooses Impatica OnCue for OTTAWA, Canada, February 25, 2002 - Impatica today announced that Algonquin College has selected Impatica OnCue as a key component of their online course development and delivery solution. Algonquin College, located in Ottawa, has more than 8,000 full time and 15,000 continuing education students. They have almost completed their first course using OnCue. It is entitled "Introduction to the Operating Room" and is part of the certificate course for registered nurses. Last November, Algonquin College announced a major expansion of their online delivery strategy to provide a better learning experience while at the same time extending their reach. "OnCue eliminated the need for plug-ins and provided amazing compression, giving us the delivery flexibility we needed to reach all of our intended audience. At the same time, Impatica OnCue is so easy to use and is fully compatible with our current learning management software," said Linda Rees, Manager of Distance Education at Algonquin College. "While RealPlayer is a great product, it did not allow us to reach all of our students." "Algonquin has been making significant headway in meeting the growing demand for expansion of their virtual campus," commented Michael Doyle, CEO of Impatica. "Algonquin has very high standards for quality, functionality and performance. We are proud that they have selected Impatica OnCue to meet their needs." Since Impatica launched its products in April of 2001, more than 65 colleges and universities in Canada, the United States and Europe have selected Impatica for production of content for online delivery. Impatica products empower subject matter experts, educators and business professionals to create engaging online content quickly and easily. Programmers or other technical experts are not required. Online training courses and other Internet content can be deployed sooner and at reduced cost. This maximizes and accelerates the return on investment from implementing e-learning solutions.
