WEST DES MOINES, IOWA, October 16, 2006 -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of Managed Learning Services and hosted learning platforms, announced today that The Maurer Foundation for Breast Health Education (TMF) has selected the GeoMaestroTM Learning Management Suite (LMS) to deliver and manage training delivery as a part of a 3-year managed learning services contract.
The Maurer Foundation, headquartered in Port Washington, New York, has implemented the GeoLearning solution to support a global breast education and certification initiative created for public health educators, breast education community members and the general public. The overwhelming interest that TMF has received from healthcare professionals both locally and nationally has helped conceptualize this latest enhancement to the organization´s current Training and Certification Program. New interactive online content will now deliver the first part of the training program via GeoLearning´s hosted software platform, enabling TMF to vastly expand the reach of this strategic initiative.
"Our partnership with GeoLearning has been instrumental in furthering the mission of The Maurer Foundation to provide breast health education on a national and global level," said Karolina Bizik, Program Manager, The Maurer Foundation. "GeoLearning´s managed learning services have been time and cost efficient, and play a tremendous role in increasing TMF´s capacity and visibility in the healthcare arena."
"TMF wanted to work with a managed learning services organization that could provide quality and scalability," added Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. "GeoLearning is helping TMF better manage its training and certification program that will directly improve the quality of the education provided. By offering its new online certification courses, TMF will expand their coverage and enable global access to updated breast health education and statistics. It is an honor to support such an important healthcare initiative."
