DOTS behind online Educator

WebRaven partners with Advanced Academics

WebRaven announced today it has partnered with US-based Advanced Academics Inc., to develop and enhance an e-learning application specifically for the seventh to twelfth grade marketplace in the United States.

Since 2000, Advanced Academics has been using WebRaven learning management system DOTS (Dynamic Online Training System) to deliver courses via the web to U.S. high schools students in Alaska, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, California and elsewhere.

According to David Bevan of WebRaven, Advanced Academics has become one of the leading providers in the rapidly expanding seventh to twelfth grade market, adding eight new states since January 2002. Bevan says while DOTS had proven flexible enough to meet Advanced Academics needs, the time had come to combine expertise and develop a new product that is designed specifically for the secondary education market.

“One of the obstacles faced by our competitors is the inability to support a large number of students with rich online education content,” says Baxter Brings, President and CEO of Advanced Academics. “Thanks to the combination of WebRaven DOTS and Advanced Academics proprietary technology, we can provide the ultimate online learning experience to an unlimited amount of students 24 hours, 7 days a week.”

Advanced Academics upgraded to the latest version of DOTS and as part of the technology merger WebRaven has provided them with source code and ongoing consultation so that Advanced Academics can further customize the system to meet the specific needs of the secondary education marketplace.

For the past two years WebRaven has focused its LMS development on corporate requirements and the co-development project will allow WebRaven to participate in the lucrative US K-12 market.
