E-Learning Platform Selected by HUD

GeoLearning announced today that its ASP-delivered e-learning platform has been selected to power online training for the United States Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).

The Geo Learning Center™ LMS and e-learning delivery platform will deliver, track and report data on business skills, computer desktop training and IT skills courseware for 10,000 HUD employees.

The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development is the nation’s housing agency committed to increasing minority homeownership, creating affordable housing opportunities for low-income Americans, supporting the homeless, elderly, people with disabilities and people living with AIDS. The Department also promotes economic and community development as well as enforces the nation’s fair housing laws.

In addition to HUD, GeoLearning secured e-learning platform contracts with eight additional government clients in the first quarter of 2002, including National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Courts, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), National Association of Counties (NACo), Insurance Fraud Prevention Authority, North Carolina Department of Labor and the Arkansas Department of Parks & Tourism.

"I believe our success in the government arena can be attributed to three distinct characteristics of our application service provider delivery model," said Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. "Using the ASP model we deliver clients ease of implementation, ease-of-use and unsurpassed reliability. Another decisive factor in the federal government space is our system’s compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which provides for equal accessibility by people with disabilities."
