need for learning technologies to play a greater role in addressing
social issues
Northboro,
MA, September 28, 2004 -- IntraLearn Software Corporation, the
leading supplier of configurable e-Learning software applications,
announced today that it has donated IntraLearn XE to Habitat for
Humanity University so it may use online learning to help quickly
train people to teach volunteers around the world how to build homes.
Habitat for Humanity International is a non-profit, non-denominational
Christian housing organization that builds simple, decent, and affordable
houses in partnership with those who lack adequate shelter.
Since
1976, Habitat has built more than 175,000 houses, providing shelter
for nearly 900,000 people worldwide. Now at work in 100 countries,
they are building a house every 26 minutes. By the end of calendar
year 2005, Habitat houses will be sheltering one million people.
My
long-term vision is that Habitat for Humanity University identify
and nurture the next generation of leaders in the movement to eliminate
sub-standard housing worldwide
and be on the cutting edge of
trends in eliminating poverty housing, said Millard Fuller,
president and founder of Habitat. The IntraLearn system will
go a long way in helping to get us there. For more information,

Our
software has been making education more accessible to organizations
worldwide for many years, said Jerry Goguen, president and
CEO of IntraLearn Software Corporation. I feel its time
to put our technology to work in helping to address many of the
fundamental challenges facing society. Education clearly makes a
measurable difference in peoples lives and by helping Habitat
for Humanity International, we are proud to contribute.
