Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for persons age 5 through 29 years of age according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but most deaths and injuries are preventable if caregivers apply proper, recommended safety practices.

Topics include staff training and support; recommended vehicle types and maintenance routines; child passenger restraint systems; operating procedures and practices; safe loading and unloading procedures; field trip safety, and more.

Taylor, President and CEO of CCEI. "ADM103 provides the latest research-based recommendations and promotes a solid understanding of how providers can implement a complete transportation plan that ensures safety and security to the greatest extent possible."

Citi and CredAbility Join with IAVA, TAPS, and MSCCN to Launch Online Financial Education and Counseling Program for …

Posted: at 12:15 pm


without comments

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Military service members, veterans, and their families and survivors need unique guidance and support to maintain their long-term financial health. Today, Citi joined with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN) to announce the launch of CredAbility ReConnect, a free online financial education and counseling program specifically designed to help these communities resolve financial difficulties and build economic security. The program, supported by a grant from Citi Community Development, was developed by CredAbility, a national nonprofit credit counseling organization, in collaboration with each of these established veterans service organizations.

Recent data shows that members of the armed forces, veterans and their families face particular financial difficulties. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for veterans who have served on active duty since September 2001 was 12.1 percent in 2011, compared to the national unemployment rate of 8.9 percent that same year. According to Debt.org, more than 25 percent of military families that have credit card debt carry a balance of more than $10,000, and a third of military families report they have trouble paying monthly bills. Also, 2011 data from CredAbility of veterans who went through credit counseling shows that veterans ages 29 or younger have average monthly expenses that exceed their net income by $880 as well as average credit card debt of $7,234.

CredAbility ReConnect addresses these financial challenges with a set of online tools, education and counseling. Individuals and families served by IAVA, TAPS, and MSCCN will be able to access custom versions of the online program, free of charge, tailored to the unique needs of the veterans, families and survivors they serve. Members of the armed forces, veterans and their families not affiliated with these organizations can access CredAbility ReConnect at http://www.CredAbility.org/recon.

CredAbility ReConnect covers:

Free one-on-one credit counseling with a CredAbility certified counselor is also available by telephone at 888-808-7285.

A serious need exists for a targeted set of financial assistance services like CredAbility ReConnect, said Mechel Glass, Vice President of Community Outreach for CredAbility and a veteran of the Persian Gulf War. Young veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan might want to create a plan to make regular deposits to an emergency savings account and pay down debt. And active duty servicemembers might want to create a financial support plan for spouses and children during times of deployment or transfer, or in the event of a loss that leaves them financially vulnerable. CredAbility ReConnect will provide the education and counseling to show them how to accomplish these personal finance goals.

Every member of the armed forces has sacrificed a great deal in service to their country, and in addition to the challenges of military service, many face tremendous financial pressures as well, said Suni Harford, Citis Regional Head of Markets for North America. These brave men and women receive extensive military training, but far too few of them receive any kind of formal financial education. CredAbility ReConnect was developed to help these deserving men and women build financial capability and achieve long-term economic security for themselves and their families.

Citi is an established leader in the national effort to support veterans and active-duty servicemembers, including those in the Guard and Reserve, and CredAbility ReConnect is the latest initiative in a coordinated, firm-wide effort in this area. In May, Citi launched Citi Salutes, a one-stop resource that consolidates all of Citis programs, products and partnerships that support the greater veterans community. Later this month, Citi will be helping to lead the second annual Veterans on Wall Street conference and job fair in New York, an initiative co-founded by Citi to develop career opportunities in the financial services industry for veterans.

B Virtual Supports Leading-Edge Online Education Revolution with Bomgar’s Remote Support Solution

Posted: at 9:20 pm


without comments

JACKSON, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Bomgar, the secure remote support solution for the mobile enterprise, today announced that B Virtual has selected its secure and comprehensive remote support solution to provide world-class technical support to the growing number of home-based employees and online education programs. Founded in 2008, B Virtual provides outsourced support products and services to three distinct market segments: traditional technical IT support, support for online learning management systems (LMS) used by educational institutions offering online programs of study, and proctoring services for online exams.

Already familiar with Bomgar, B Virtuals chief operating officer, Tim Dewey, was approached by an LMS client about proctoring exams that students were taking online. Students who take courses online usually dont live anywhere near the institution putting on the program, said Dewey. When the end of the semester arrives and its time for students to take exams, the school needed a way to ensure the integrity of the exam session, just as a proctor would do by monitoring a live exam on campus.

Dewey knew from the start that Bomgar was the right solution to support online proctoring, because of its capabilities. I knew everything the solution could do. To ensure the integrity of the exam session, B Virtuals proctors watch the student on a webcam and need complete access to the students computer to ensure that the student does not have unauthorized applications running, multiple monitors open or someone else taking the test remotely. There are a number of Bomgar features we use to get connected and monitor the students machine. At the end of the day, what we can accomplish with Bomgar is the differentiation point for us. All of the ts have to be crossed and all of the is have to be dotted from the institutions perspective to make this an authentic, proctored environment. Bomgar makes that possible, stated Dewey.

One Bomgar feature that B Virtual uses extensively is canned messaging. With this feature, the B Virtual proctors can send prewritten consent forms and exam instructions to the students via Bomgars web-based chat tool. Dewey explains that having the instructions prewritten saves time and improves accuracy. Bomgars recording capabilities also support B Virtuals ability to ensure exam integrity. We are able to see the students desktop and everything they are doing, so we can prevent unauthorized activities, such as a student taking a screenshot to record some of the exam questions, said Dewey.

The need to support non-traditional students is a rising trend among higher education organizations, said Scott Braynard, VP of public sector at Bomgar. Having the ability to provide remote support to all students, whether they are on campus or studying remotely as part of an online program, increases productivity and success of both students and IT support teams.

Bomgar supports B Virtuals other two business segments as well. For traditional IT support and LMS clients, B Virtual is able to expand resources available to support technicians. The client may have five or six employees in their call center. We make it possible for them to have eight or nine technicians supporting users without having to bring them in-house.

With its unique approach and leading-edge offerings, B Virtual needed a remote support solution that was as innovative and flexible as its business model to deliver the highest-quality technical and online proctoring services to its client organizations. For Dewey, Bomgars feature-rich and flexible solution was at the head of the class.

New York City Department of Education Selects Blackboard Collaborate for Use in District Schools

Posted: at 11:13 am


without comments

WASHINGTON, June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE), the largest public school system in the U.S., has chosen Blackboard Collaborate, in an effort to enhance student achievement and personalize instruction through the iLearnNYC program, Blackboard Inc. announced today.

District officials found Blackboard Collaborate the only online collaboration platform built for education to be the superior product to offer students and teachers a robust set of Web, voice and video conferencing capabilities. The selection followed an evaluation of technology solutions to support online and blended learning, and will help NYC DOE support three key initiatives: getting students college and career ready; meeting Common Core standards and curriculum adaption; and providing more personalized instruction.

With the platform, NYC schools will be able to offer more courses including Advanced Placement, foreign language and credit recovery and reach students in disparate locations with a more personalized learning experience based on student needs. In their virtual classrooms, teachers can create workflows that are specific for help and tutoring environments, allow learners to get immediate feedback through ad-hoc video chats and create break out rooms encouraging interaction based on skill sets, segmented outcomes or other criteria.

In addition, NYC schools may also use the Blackboard Collaborate platform to conduct parent-teacher conferences online, meet with instructors and administrators across the city virtually as well as offer teachers more professional development opportunities online.

"The iLearnNYC program is focused on expanding digital learning experiences by broadening the use of online content and resources and removing the barriers to using them," said Sandeep Chellani, executive director of product development for the New York City Department of Education. "By partnering with Blackboard, our students are not only able to take a wider array of courses, but also work with teachers to customize a unique learning experience. We anticipate greater engagement through this effort, which will eventually lead to improved student outcomes."

Currently offered in approximately 100 schools in the iLearnNYC program, the NYC DOE will supply its comprehensive set of online teaching and learning tools to 100 more schools in the 2012-2013 school year. Blackboard Collaborate is seamlessly integrated with NYC DOE's Desire2Learn learning management system and provides users with a single point of access to the interactive learning platform.

"The K-12 educational landscape is quickly changing and districts are hungry for technologies that help them design a technology program that meets their goals and focuses on student achievement," says Maurice Heiblum, president of Blackboard Collaborate. "We are excited to partner with the New York City Department of Education as they work toward a more personalized experience for their teachers and students that introduces an innovative approach to learning that engages and excites the entire community."

Blackboard Collaborate's Web conferencing, instant messaging, and voice authoring technologies are used by thousands of higher education, K-12, professional, corporate and government organizations worldwide.
