The Complete Online School System for Learning Continuity


PORTLAND, Oregon--(Business Wire)--
Educadium announced today the EasyCampus Virtual School Box, a new technology
and training solution to help school administrators rapidly implement virtual
classrooms and learning continuity plans for teachers and students.

For less than $5,000, organizations of all sizes can create a professional
virtual school presence in just a few weeks. The special package includes a
one-year subscription to the EasyCampus Virtual School Builder system; hands-on
training; multimedia help materials; a custom EasyCampus site theme; and online
curriculum consulting.

"More than ever, educators and trainers need a versatile partner that
understands online school requirements-from technology to instructional design,"
said Educadium President Todd Harris. "The EasyCampus Virtual School Box program
makes good academic and financial sense."

Crow Development, a leading project-management training company, chose
EasyCampus for its virtual school. "Educadium has exceeded my expectations,
particularly in the areas of technical assistance and course design," said
President Jeff Crow.

The EasyCampus Virtual School Box is a comprehensive and customizable package
that costs $4,950. It includes:

* A 12-month subscription to the EasyCampus Virtual School Builder platform,
with up to 2,000 user accounts and 10GB of storage a month
* Unlimited online support for administrators, teachers, and students
* Up to four hours of on-site or webinar training by Educadium trainers
* A custom EasyCampus site and course theme that incorporates school logos and
colors
* A custom course template by Educadium instructional designers
* Free video tutorials and instruction manuals
* Special discounts for small schools

In light of the H1N1 pandemic flu outbreak, the U.S. Department of Education has
advised schools to evaluate materials for at-home learning, including newer
online learning technologies. According to the CDC, more communities may be
affected by both the H1N1 swine flu and the seasonal flu, and every educational
institution needs to have a pandemic flu action plan in place.

Built on open source, EasyCampus is a convenient Internet service used by
leading vocational and nonprofit schools around the world. From anywhere and at
anytime, teachers and students have access to course materials, resources,
discussions, and assessments in a variety of media and formats. Educadium`s
Professional Services team uses EasyCampus to create custom learning solutions
that fit the unique requirements of today`s online educator.

Educadium (www.educadium.com) is a next-generation learning management company,
which helps organizations and individuals take advantage of e-learning and
distance education. Educadium was formed in early 2008 by an experienced group
of teachers and technologists. The Portland, Oregon-based company is privately
held. Educadium develops the EasyCampus Virtual School Builder, a convenient and
affordable LMS used by schools, nonprofits, consultants, and organizations of
all sizes to create virtual schools and classrooms.
