Using Facebook to Teach and Learn
VICTORIA, BC -- (Marketwire) -- 05/04/10 -- Facebook can be more than just a social watering hole and Udutu, a leader in innovative online learning tools, has been recognized by Brandon Hall for building a complete learning environment using the incredibly popular social networking site. Udutu won a coveted Brandon Hall bronze award for technology excellence in the Best Advance in Learning Management Technology for Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses category for UdutuTeach + UdutuLearn, a powerful application duo that allows anyone to provide online courses on Facebook.
With the combination of UdutuTeach and UdutuLearn, Udutu has created the world's first Learning Management System (LMS) designed to run on Facebook. These two new products represent a drastic change in online learning and training, allowing anyone to offer training through the already popular Facebook social network. Together, these applications work with Facebook to provide all the rich communication and scheduling tools that an LMS offers without any upfront investment in either infrastructure or software licensing.
"At Udutu we believe that everyone has the potential to learn and to teach," stated Roger Mundell, CEO and founder of Udutu. "We are pleased that Brandon Hall has recognized our efforts to make tools uniquely designed to harness that potential easily and affordably available to everyone."
