Intelladon, Pulse Entertainment and Raytheon Learning Institutes Team to Offer PROPEL ALS

First AICC- and SCORM-Compliant Rapid Content Development System and LMS with Interactive Virtual Instructors - Leading Corporate Learning Organization Partners with Intelladon and Pulse to Build and Apply Premier Enterprise LMS; Rapid Personalization of Courses Now Possible

ATLANTA, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate and government eLearning just got a lot more personal, interactive and effective, thanks to a new joint solution called PROPEL Advanced Learning System ("PROPEL ALS(TM)") from Intelladon Corporation, Pulse Entertainment and Raytheon Learning Institutes. PROPEL ALS(TM) brings together Raytheon Learning Institutes' eLearning domain expertise and Intelladon's Advanced Learning Platform with the Pulse Veepers(TM) virtual character creation technology. The solution enables the rapid development of SCORM- and AICC-compliant eLearning courses, complete with interactive, photo-real virtual instructors and other characters. A demo version of the PROPEL solution is being displayed in the Intelladon booth (#703) at the Training 2003 conference taking place February 24 - 26 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

PROPEL is a browser-based courseware development tool designed to work in an ASP format or directly on the user's local PC. The software can incorporate a wide range of rich media formats, as well as accommodate multiple virtual characters on a single "page" to simulate meetings, public conferences, classroom settings and other collaborative and interactive situations. PROPEL is a complete courseware creation and LMS solution that includes a powerful instructor "lead-tracking" interface, detailed individual skill tracking, e-commerce capabilities, and a dynamic learning interface that gives the courseware designer the power to build templates on the fly as they craft courses.

While online learning applications often employ simple animated characters or streaming video-based content to approximate virtual instructors and other humans in training curricula, PROPEL marks the first time that "video-like," photo-real characters based on real humans are available in a turnkey courseware creation solution. The characters in PROPEL can be created and updated in just a few minutes, and use approximately 1/50th the bandwidth that video requires, so that PROPEL-based courseware can be delivered via narrowband, dial-up connections, without performance degradation.

Having played a key role in bringing together Pulse and Intelladon for the development of PROPEL, Raytheon Learning Institutes has incorporated PROPEL-powered training solutions into the creation of its own internal eLearning curriculum. "We are excited about applying PROPEL to our curricula for online training purposes throughout the company," said Don Ronchi, Vice President and Chief Learning Officer at Raytheon Company. "PROPEL will play a role in our strategy of becoming the most advanced learning organization in the aerospace and defense industry."
