NorthPoint Solutions Partners with AIM Education to Relaunch the Learn360
Video Streaming Platform on Ektron's CMS400.NET
New Web Platform is scaled for increased Site Traffic, Content Management and
Community
NEW YORK, April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- NorthPoint Solutions ("NorthPoint"), a
leading business and technology consulting firm specializing in the delivery
of business applications and solutions that help clients achieve bottom line
results partnered with AIM Education to launch the new Learn360 education
website (www.learn360.com) on January 30th, 2009. Learn360.com provides
educational videos to the K-12 market at both the school district and state
level. NorthPoint worked closely with the Learn360 team to design a flexible
content structure that supports the varied learning requirements of their
clients. All of Learn360's content is tagged using several structures and
methodologies including binding to individual state education standards to
allow for maximum visibility and searchability.
The latest release of Learn360.com includes sophisticated community features
and new collaboration methods for its users. The new site leverages Ektron's
CMS400.NET platform to manage content and community data. NorthPoint
developed the community and collaboration functionality using the Ektron Web
content management infrastructure, which has allowed for rapid design and
development of Learn360's teaching tools. Teachers now have the ability to
develop and share quizzes, assignments, lesson plans, and their own media
content with their colleagues and students in their own district, state, or
across the entire Learn360 network.
NorthPoint has implemented a scalable platform to support more dynamic growth
and initiatives in the future.
"Our children are our legacy and it is paramount that we provide them with a
well rounded foundation and the ability to realize their full potential. By
combining NorthPoint's premiere solutions development, Ektron's industry
leading content management platform and AIM Educations vision, Learn360 is
able to deliver a data rich collaborative environment for educators and
students across the country and the globe" stated Harold Engle President & CEO
AIM Education Inc.
"Learn360 offers a vast amount of information through their online educational
videos, it is important that their Web site is able to scale as new videos are
added and as their user community continues to develop," stated Mark Hardardt,
senior vice president of sales and business development at Ektron. By
utilizing Ektron's Web content management and collaboration infrastructure,
NorthPoint has created a dynamic, interactive platform where Learn360 can grow
its video library and community of educators."
