April 17, 2001 03:00:00 AM ET
LONDON, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The following press release was issued today by the Global News Network:
Edulink (OTC Bulletin Board: MYIQ) Edulink (MYIQ), a leading Internet educational content and technology company, is on the ground floor of the new, truly global Internet revolution, creating the highest levels of educational standards in a new market about to explode across the Internet.
With Edulink having finalized agreements with MC2, Viewpoint Inc., and Fortune 500 Company, SAIC, to co-develop the State-of-the-Art Internet based, "Smart Schoolhouse(TM) ", Edulink is now on the ground floor as the premier Internet educator for the new, truly global Internet revolution -- which takes into account all countries and cultures and the future needs in all industries from commerce to education -- to access the multi-billion untapped international client base. (MC2 is a technology development company, which has licensed 23 products that have generated more than 1.9 billion in retail sales. And SAIC, which ranks as the largest employee-owned research and engineering firm in the nation, has more than 41,000 scientists, researchers and administrators with offices in over 150 cities worldwide. SAIC provides leading edge technologies to help clients respond faster to opportunities, achieve more from their operations and exceed well beyond project expectations, with last year's revenues exceeding $5.5 billion.)
Edulink's system designers and educators are an impressive list of highly internationally respected professionals. The list includes: Dr. Boris Berenfeld, Ph.D., who has directed projects funded by the National Science Foundation, Apple Computers, IBM and NASA; Dr. Sheridan Blau, Ph.D., professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara and President of the South Coast Writing Project; Linda Plattner from the Council for Basic Education and Coordinator of the National Math Standards, Washington, D.C.; Dr. Kathleen McGuire, Ph.D., Project Director for the UCLA's Distance Learning Programs; Dr. Gary B. Nash, Ph.D., Dean of Undergraduate and Intercollegiate Curricular Development at UCLA; Dr. Ron Rescigno, Ph.D., President of Edulink and; Edu-link's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Rosenfeld. Edulink has also just recently signed an agreement with UCLA College of Letters and Sciences to license curriculum to be utilized in Edulink's programs. Edulink will provide the best educational content available, simply because it seeks out the best from a superior group of educators and consolidates this information and their presentation into the electronic super-brain of an online professor at "The Smart Schoolhouse(TM)".
Edulink's proprietary software and technologies have been created to facilitate and improve the learning process by developing critical thinking and reasoning with all of its licensed or created curriculum meeting or exceeding the national standards. Edu-link allows for freedom of thought, for a student to discover how their own learning process is accomplished and awareness of their own learning style -- in short, how the student learns best -- how to navigate and control his or her world and how to make sense of it. In the words of Dr. Kathleen McGuire, "The potential for this program is monumental ... Ultimately there is a need for this type of curriculum in both continuing education and broad-based curriculum for adults and for specific professional fields as well. In this context the vision of a global `Smart Schoolhouse(TM)' becomes quite literal."
Edulink's CE(TM) (Content Editor), developed for Edulink by SAIC, is one of the many key technologies for Edulink's expanding global network of schoolhouses. Moreover, Edulink's delivery system is considerably faster than any competing technology -- performing over 1,000 transactions per second to rapidly display information and content. The Edulink CE(TM) supercomputing design radically improves the efficiency and accuracy of online research by eliminating the many inefficiencies of today's current browsers.
Edulink's 3-D world of technologies can be integrated into any extant educational system or exist within its own domain exclusive of all other systems. The CE(TM) can author new lessons by selecting portions of content to adapt to any other program - thereby offering a one-stop multi-tasking educational portal for all uses and applications, which is 100% adaptable to its environment.
SAIC Vice President, Steven D. Rizzi, stated "As technology advances, computers are making inroads to virtually every aspect of modern culture. As a final frontier, we are witnessing the transformation of the classroom ... To the students of tomorrow, it affords thrilling prospects with limitless potential. We are very pleased to be working with Edulink, Inc., on such a fascinating and rewarding project."
To capitalize on over five years of research and development, Edulink is now ready to address an extraordinary growth market with superior services and products.
