DRAPER, UT. - March 14, 2000 - AssessNet Corporation and
Learnframe* today announced the alliance of AssessNet Corporation, a leading
Web based testing and assessment application service provider, with Learnframe*,
makers of Pinnacle Learning Manager (PLM), the world's leading learning
management software.
According to Ron Sanders, Pinnacle's Vice President of Marketing, "AssessNet
360ä allows customers who use the Pinnacle e-Learning infrastructure to
self-assess their training needs via web-based assessments. The PLM is
then able to manage and report the results of the assessments. It's perfect
for pre-assessing and tracking student training needs before they have
taken instructor-led, video, document, web-based, or any type of training."
PLM easily connects to virtually all courseware and business
applications due to its open architecture format and extensive connections
library. As a result, organizations save valuable time and money by easily
and immediately integrating legacy courseware into new electronic training
programs.
"Pinnacle's use of AssessNet 360, provides a way for
individuals to self-assess their skill levels on any subject or course
prior to training," said AssessNet president Deanna Reader. "The
combination of PLM and AssessNet 360 gives organizations the ability to
determine training requirements based on individual self-assessment of
an employee's skills and abilities. After training, the individual self-assessment
is updated and reported on by PLM, showing the progress of the individual
throughout the training process."
