vLearning solution
leverages the capacity
of DTV datacasting to
enhance traditional
eLearning systems which
rely only on Internet
connectivity. As a
leading DTV datacasting
solutions provider,
SpectraRep looks forward
to working as a reseller
of Vistacast's solutions
to solve some important
challenges in providing
a quality video
experience as part of
video-enhanced eLearning
or vLearning."

Vistacast's president
and CEO, commented, "The
Vistacast systems
approach provides
solutions to each client
where the Learning
Management System (LMS)
suite of services can be
cached and used just
like the Internet
experience - except for
one thing - it does not
need to be connected to
the web. In addition,
the Vistacast approach
enables a more robust
client experience with
key software elements
that manage information
in both an internet and
rich multimedia world."

About vLearning:
Vistacast's vLearning
enhances learning
performance with
effective blended
multimedia content
delivery and management.
The integrated software
solution empowers
content providers to
offer any type of
digital content to reach
the learners anywhere
they are located, while
enhancing the learning
experience.
vLearning is focused
on managing and
providing a training
experience that includes
full multimedia, video,
audio, text, and rich
simulation at lower cost
than current solutions.
The system is designed
to have a software
module that runs on the
administration server
interfacing to the
Learning Management
System (LMS) and another
software module that
runs on the student
device. The learner is
able to receive
synchronous or
asynchronous training.
vLearning keeps track of
student learning
behavior, and later
provides reports to the
administrator upon
connection to the LMS.
