London Educational Software Company Committed to Improving Staff Development
(London Ontario) November 3rd, 2006 - Lack of time, and money are two of
the biggest challenges facing education today. CoreSolutions Development
Inc., a London based software company, is hoping to combat these issues
with the Canada wide launch of a powerful new version of its already
successful professional development management software. PD Place version
3.0 guarantees that staff development personnel will no longer be
overwhelmed by details, or bogged down by logistics.
This easy to
use product provides instant online registration, allows staff equal access
to training opportunities, tracks and records a history of professional
development for each individual, and virtually eliminates paperwork and
phone calls.
“PD Place has a fully searchable course catalogue
online, so paper and printing costs are virtually eliminated,” says Barney
Lawn, President and CEO of CoreSolutions Development Inc. “Organizations
can now take the time and money they will save by using PD Place, and
reallocate it to help improve the quality of program delivery.”
Over
50,000 users in 18 school boards are currently enjoying the many benefits
offered by PD Place. Patrick Dunne, former Director of Education with the
London District Catholic School Board, and current Political Science
Professor at Kings University College, is just one of the many product
advocates whose support has contributed to the success of PD Place
.
“The delivery of quality professional development is always a
challenge,” says Dunne. “That challenge is significantly reduced when
virtually all of the logistics associated with delivery are handled by an
on-line registrar.”
PD Place can be customized for organizations
other than education. It has over 270 preferences that can be edited to
meet the unique needs of any organization involved in staff
training.
