InnerPass Enables Superior Online Educational Experience at Leading Medical Transcription and Coding Program

Expands technology offering beyond Skype business users to higher education
organizations
FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
InnerPass, a well-known, premium Skype application used by businesses for
collaboration, has recently focused on higher education; enabling education
organizations to deliver Distance Learning with greater efficacy. OAK Horizons,
a company providing medical training programs focused on transcription and
coding is the most recent customer to recognize value in InnerPass Technology.

OAK Horizons develops curricula for medical transcription and coding for
education organizations around the world.

"When students first start their program, be it medical transcription, coding or
billing, the course content tends to be very overwhelming," says Kathryn Martin,
owner and instructor at OAK Horizons. "The real-time introduction is very
important and helpful, since the course content tends to overwhelm everyone at
first. We set up an InnerPass meeting room and walk our students through the
first lesson in real-time, and then throughout the semester hold check-in and
help sessions. I think it really helps us to set the right tone with our
students; that they`ll be learning the material through directed study, but
there is real-time help and instruction if they need it," says Martin.

As OAK Horizons looks to expand its roster of partnership and client
organizations, Kathryn Martin realized she needed to set the organization apart
from a growing field of competitors. She adopted InnerPass and leveraged the
technology to implement a system that facilitates real-time collaboration,
content sharing and tutorials between teachers and students. Instructors can
invite students to small-group tutorials with a live-participation component,
for those students who request extra time with an instructor.

InnerPass provides easy-to-use tools, including screen-sharing and "persistent"
meeting rooms, which reduce the cost of online instruction, expand access to
education and training opportunities, and bring client organizations to the
leading edge of educational and training technology.

"Moving beyond our target community of Skype business users and expanding our
focus to include higher education organizations has been a great experience,"
says Steve Parsloe, CEO and President of InnerPass, "We understand that the
efficiencies enjoyed by our business users, including expanded access to
information, flexibility in work schedules and collaboration and, most
importantly, cost savings can be passed along in a higher education environment
as well."
