WebStudy, Inc., is the nation’s leading education company to offer software as a service (SaaS). WebStudy’s "Learning" course management system (CMS), the only CMS designed by student-professor collaboration, engages students in online learning from the start and empowers educators to improve individual performance in dynamic ways that cannot be duplicated in a classroom. WebStudy is a Distinguished partner of the League for Innovation in the Community College and sponsor for the League’s publications, "Learning and the Road Ahead" and "The Rogue Trustee: The Elephant in the Room," as well as sponsor for "Focus on Learning: A Learning College Reader," focused on making a positive difference in the Educational Revolution. With an unmatched commitment to student success, WebStudy’s CMS empowers faculty to individualize learning online and in the classroom, aids administration in launching quality learning outcome programs, and demonstrates to accrediting bodies that an institution is committed to producing well-prepared students. WebStudy® "Learning" CMS v9.0 - Intelligent Tutoring WebStudy’s next generation of course management systems is the most effective and affordable choice in online education software. It is a solution for learning-centered institutions and tailored to the new generation of students who expect to participate and be engaged in their education. WebStudy CMS v9.0 features intelligent tutoring technology so each instructor can “gift” the power of knowledge to each student. Faculty welcome adoption of WebStudy because the focus is on using technology to improve learning, not just an electronic notebook. They can link student assessment to learning objectives and create a customized learning track for each student. In this way, students perform at their own pace, increasing their learning aptitude. WebStudy CMS provides BOTH synchronous and asynchronous learning. Streaming video, static and animated graphics, audio, and text are combined with pre-recorded audio/video sessions. Flexible Pricing WebStudy offers flexible pricing options through TryStudy, a progressive pricing plan based on actual deployment and use, rather than on campus size. Colleges and universities can incorporate online learning without a major upfront investment, and educators can develop online learning at their own pace and at an affordable cost. Customer Support WebStudy offers customers zero downtime, continuous software upgrades, and a 24-hour help desk that is responsive to all customer requests. Since the WebStudy help-desk is not outsourced, a live expert is available to troubleshoot issues and provide on-demand training via phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. WebStudy collaborates with clients for development of its intuitive products and is SCORM® certified. Multimedia Capabilities For schools that are CMS shopping but cautious about change, CourseStream (CS), a streaming media application, and CourseLive (CL), a synchronous software, are offered as stand-alone products that can be used in any CMS system. They can improve multimedia abilities as institutions get to know WebStudy, making the transition an evolutionary process rather than an abrupt change with extensive training requirements. CS and CL are included in the license for WebStudy "Learning" CMS v9.0. WebCouncil, a collaboration technology made possible by WebStudy’s partnership with CoVision, helps large groups to focus, coordinate, understand each other, and achieve goals that would not be achieved through “business as usual.” Easy Transition WebStudy Inc. offers a fully supported and hosted environment so that over time institutions receive sensible and intuitive upgrades without the interruption of introducing a new architectural version. Educators report that transition to WebStudy is an easy process rather than an abrupt change with extensive training requirements.

WolfVision manufactures high-resolution full-motion digital cameras known as Visualizers. Used in classrooms and training centers, Visualizers are revolutionary teaching tools. Because of its ability to capture high-quality motion, Visualizers can be used to display your formulas, notes, objects, or experiments in real time to any display device, such as an LCD/plasma monitor, data projector, or video-conferencing equipment. These images can also be scanned to your computer via USB or networking connections. Visualizers are ideal for classroom instruction in any subject or discipline (math, sciences, art, engineering, language, architecture, history, law, etc.). The teaching process is enhanced by the greater instructor-student interaction provided by a Visualizer. Objects can be easily shared by projecting a single image rather than passing materials around the classroom or gathering students at the instructor’s desk. The Visualizer, as a tool, essentially replaces the need for a separate chalk/whiteboard, overhead projector, and scanner.
