Miami -
October 30, 2003 - RealCast Corporation, a provider of
on-demand high quality streaming video, and Pinneast.com, an
e-Learning solutions provider based in Columbia, SC
announced today that they have integrated their technologies
to provide streaming video “webinars” for e-Learning. The
integration combines the learner, reporting, and course
management capabilities of a Learning Management System with
the on-demand communications of next generation streaming
video. The result is the ability to organize live, recorded
and web-based courses and deliver a blended learning
solution.
The initial launch of the integrated technology is being made on
October 31st, at the Third Annual
International Conference on Mobile Health being
presented by the International Mobile Health Association and
hosted by The University & Community College System of
Nevada Health Schools, The University of Nevada School of
Medicine, and the Nevada State Health Division.
It can be previewed at

The website offers
online training resources for the health care community.
Those interested in viewing webinars from the conference can
do so by signing up on the website and then following
directions to view either a live session or a recorded
demo. A full curriculum of HIPAA training is also being
made available.
According to company representatives the ability of the
system to organize, deliver and report on streaming video
communications and training over the Internet will produce
significant benefits for organizations and individuals.
Users can sign up for and view webinars, take online courses
and tests, then receive certificates of completion. This
can dramatically decrease training costs compared to
traditional methods. Costs for travel, instructors, and
lost job time are eliminated. Because the site is available
24 x 7 by anyone over the Internet it makes healthcare
training affordable and scalable, eliminating the barriers
of time and place. The system is also available for use by
training managers to provide an affordable, “pay as you
grow” solution complete with individualized course catalogs
and company-level reports. Available and planned resources
include a catalog of online courses, a content authoring
tool, and support services.
