GoLearn broadens knowledge across federal government agencies with communities of practice and collaboration.

WEST DES MOINES, IOWA, November 29, 2006 -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of Managed Learning Services and hosted learning platforms, announced today that GoLearn/United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has broadened its use of the GeoMaestro™ Learning Management Suite (LMS) to include GeoEngage, a blended learning and collaboration tool, to manage business collaboration for cross-functional teams among GoLearn/OPM federal agencies.

 GoLearn/OPM has implemented the GeoEngage platform to enhance communication sharing and best practices for mission critical government initiatives including human capital development, competency management, SF-182 workflow approval, government policies and federal mandates. Sharing knowledge and publishing best practices are the learning goals that GeoEngage addresses for OPM/GoLearn. OPM/GoLearn uses GeoEngage to focus on the public sector’s strategic human capital management initiatives, including the standardization of government-wide learning processes, enabling collaboration across agencies, knowledge management and knowledge publishing.
