GK Intelligent Systems Introduces 'Smart' Internet Training Product
HOUSTON, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- GK Intelligent Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GKIS - news) unveiled its first Internet training product, ''Around the Web in 80 Minutes(C) 1998'', which makes use of its intelligent Smart One(TM) training technology and represents an investment of over $1 million in product research and development. GKIS expects ''Around the Web in 80 Minutes'', targeted to reach distributors in March, to result in revenues of approximately $2 million over the next 12 months.
Designed to suit the needs and interests of a broad range of computer users, ''Around the Web in 80 Minutes'' provides a comprehensive set of tools for navigating and understanding the Internet. This new product teaches important and fundamental aspects of navigating the World Wide Web, including how to download and install the software and hardware required for Internet access, ''surf'' the Web using Netscape, send e-mail, find key information using the most popular search engines, and other valuable topics.
'''Around the Web in 80 Minutes' is the first in a planned series of intelligent multimedia training products based on GKIS' Smart One(TM) trainer technology,'' said Gary Kimmons, president and chief executive officer of GKIS. ''It is an exciting new way to reach Internet users across a wide variety of skill levels, including those who are intimidated by computers and the Internet and may have given up on getting personally involved. It introduces the Web in a new way which the average person can understand and appreciate.''
With its introduction, ''Around the Web in 80 Minutes'' sets a new standard in personal learning through its integration of the latest in educational research and computer technology. A key feature is the ability to intelligently adapt to a wide range of learning styles and abilities, profiling and observing the learner's behavior, and modifying both the program content and learning context dynamically. The result is a highly personal experience that opens the door to those who may previously have had great difficulty with computers, networks, and their underlying complexities.
'''Around the Web in 80 Minutes' has a unique ability to adapt to each user, irrespective of their background or experience,'' said Dr. Joseph Ben- Dak, founder of the United Nations Global Technology Group (GTG). ''It can be an important first step toward our goal of providing equal access to information for Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) by helping people, including senior citizens new to the Web, learn to access the Internet at their own pace. This intelligent approach to universal access is a key reason why the Smart One technology has been designated as an official Flag Technology of the United Nations.''
The United Nations Global Technology Group (GTG) was founded in 1993 under the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and now operates through a small number of not-for-profit foundations. Its mission continues to be to increase LDC's productive capacity through technology transfer, to enhance LDC's livelihood systems by making available to them state-of-the-art technologies from the Developed Countries, and to create comprehensive means for technology adaptation in LDCs through enterprise support, including private sector funding.
