CADE – Communications And Distance Education - Live delivery, asynchronous toolset, SCORM compliance, and LMS all-in-one.

Ann Arbor, Michigan – April 19, 2002 – Velocedge, Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a provider of interactive distance learning software and solutions, today announced the debut of its newest distance learning product, CADE, the Communications And Distance Education system. CADE improves corporate communication and reduces training costs by combining live satellite or streaming video delivery, audio/data interaction via the Internet, SCORM support, and asynchronous learning tools, with a web-based learning management system.

CADE's Studio Control system provides instructors or presenters the ability to deliver interactive programs with participants at individual workstations and/or groups of people in classroom environment at the same time. It is a viable tool for delivery to a class of a few learners or thousands of concurrent participants. CADE is designed to control interactive programs that are delivered live via satellite, streaming video, or teleconferencing and installed on any Windows computer connected to the Internet.

CADE's Virtual Classroom provides the ability for individual learners to interact through a standard multi-media PC or classrooms of learners to interact with wireless remote control response units. CADE is available in multiple languages and its text-to-speech engine can be matched to provide audio feedback in the chosen language.

CADE's Learning Management Web provides an on-line repository for all learning activity. It tracks not only a learner's progress in the Distance Learning Network but the student's participation in courses at colleges, universities, or other outside sources. All information in the CADE system can be created, accessed, and maintained through the Internet using a standard browser. It is one of the first Learning Management Systems to offer the SCORM run-time environment using Microsoft's Web Services, XML, and .Net technologies.

The first production delivery of the CADE system was to the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the largest not-for-profit long-term healthcare provider in the United States. It is being used to deliver skills training, CEUs, and degree completion courses in long-term healthcare.

"CADE is an interactive distance learning and communication system born of the 21st century," said Stephen Ricketts, President of Velocedge. "With its software-based approach, CADE incorporates many of the latest Internet driven technologies: voice over the Internet, text-to-speech generation, digital audio record and forward, streaming audio and video, video on demand, automated components, and wireless communication. It combines these technologies with a unique understanding of the industry and a business proposition well suited to today's economic environment. CADE can be installed over the web on existing computers, learned quickly, and is a fraction of the cost of competitive products."
