Overture Technologies and the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU) Announce Marketing Partnership for Student Loan Marketplace

Online Loan Comparison and Education Financing Learning Center To Be Created For California's Private, Non-profit Colleges and Universities

Bethesda, Maryland, and Sacramento, California (PRWEB) April 16, 2009

The Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU (http://www. aiccu. org)), representing California's 75 non-profit accredited colleges and universities with more than 289,000 students, and Overture Technologies (http://www. overturecorp. com), the leading provider of decisioning software solutions that enable transparent, accurate and responsive lending processes, announced today a marketing partnership to create the California Student Loan Marketplace. The California Student Loan Marketplace will be an online education financing resource that connects students and their families with lenders to encourage smart borrowing practices and compare reliable private student loan terms. Prager, Sealy, & Co., LLC (http://www. prager. com), a leading higher education investment banking firm, will serve as the program manager for AICCU.

"It is more important than ever for families to have clear, accurate, and easy-to-understand information about alternatives for financing college costs," said Jonathan Brown, AICCU president. "The California Student Loan Marketplace will help provide students with affordable higher education at top institutions."

The California Student Loan Marketplace will allow schools to provide students and their families with access to unbiased information on financing higher education. The Marketplace will offer students, families, counselors, and institutions the following:

*Reliable loan terms from multiple lenders: The Marketplace will provide what students need - the ability to compare and select reliable financing options - not "as low as" advertisements - with a complete listing of reliable loan terms.

*Preservation of borrower credit scores and privacy: The Marketplace will provide a more efficient, safer loan shopping experience for students by pulling a single credit report to match borrower information with multiple lenders' student loan products and allowing borrowers to choose which lender receives their information.

*Smart borrowing practices: The Marketplace will provide information on how to borrow wisely, including exhausting federal loan options before turning to private loans, and using a co-signer to achieve the best rates and fees.

*Guiding students to make informed decisions: The Marketplace can be configured with school-specific information about policies, deadlines, academic programs, and grade-levels to assure that students receive custom-tailored loan options.

*Enhanced transparency: The Marketplace will be an open network of lenders that allows schools to provide students with meaningful guidance in a safe and trustworthy environment.

"Overture is pleased to work with AICCU, a trusted group that is dedicated to connecting students with lenders for smarter financing of their education at private, non-profit colleges in California," said Peter Carroll, Overture Technologies' vice president, product marketing.

The DNA Shoah Project Collaborates with Hewlett-Packard 'Innovations in Education' Grantee

The DNA Shoah Project Collaborates with Hewlett-Packard 'Innovations in Education' Grantee

The University of Arizona's DNA Shoah Project will provide laboratory facilities and expertise to students participating in Palo Verde High School's Annealing Project, an interdisciplinary approach to teaching diversity and human identity. Tucson Unified School District's Palo Verde High Magnet School was one of only 25 schools in the United States to receive a grant from HP's 'Innovations in Education" program, designed to raise student achievement in math and science and increase awareness in high-tech college and career opportunities. The award brings $265,000 of technology, cash and professional services to the school and gives students the opportunity to experience state-of-the-art laboratory practices in the workplace.

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) July 8, 2009

The DNA Shoah Project's mission to reunite families torn apart by the Holocaust will be brought to life this fall in Palo Verde High Magnet School classrooms through a special project designed to combine cutting-edge genetics, computer technology and the humanities. Aptly entitled The Annealing Project, this educational collaboration is funded by a $265,000 HP Innovations in Education grant.

The DNA Shoah Project, a division of the University of Arizona's Arizona Research Laboratories, is a non-profit, humanitarian effort to build a database of genetic material from Holocaust survivors and their immediate descendants in an attempt to reunite families. The DNA Shoah Project's laboratory resources will make "citizen scientists" of the Palo Verde High Magnet students and enable them to participate in the hands-on analysis of DNA samples from Holocaust survivors. The DNA Shoah Project's multimedia curriculum, comprised of science-based learning activities mixed with Holocaust survivor testimonies, will bring lessons of the Holocaust into the high school's biology, mathematics and humanities classrooms. Annealing Project students will also assist with hands-on analyses of DNA samples from Holocaust survivors and learn to record valuable survivor interviews.

The Annealing Project uses an interdisciplinary approach to address issues of human identity, diversity and belonging. Biology, biotechnology and mathematics students will receive a real-world introduction to molecular genetics, forensics science and professional laboratory practices while they assist with DNA Shoah Project data analysis. English and social studies students will learn to take videotaped and recorded testimonies from Holocaust survivors, collecting material for an interactive, online archive and social network that will allow survivors to connect with one another from all over the world. Not only will Annealing Project students gain a technological literacy and marketable skills through these experiences, they will learn that the disparate members of their diverse student body are more alike than different.

Palo Verde Biology/Biotechnology teacher, Kevin Kehl, team leader for the Annealing Project, works with many students who are often the first high school graduates in their families and may be the first college attendees as well. Kehl sees the PVHS/DNA Shoah Project collaboration as an opportunity to "bridge the gap" that might otherwise exist between these students and a post-secondary learning environment and the grant from HP as one that will fundamentally redesign the student learning experience.

Worldwide, HP is investing more than $17 million in mobile technology, cash and professional development as part of the global 2009 HP Innovations in Education grant initiative. This initiative follows HP's five-year, $60 million investment in HP Technology for Teaching grants to more than 1,000 schools and universities in 41 countries. During the past 20 years, HP has contributed more than $1 billion in cash and equipment to schools, universities, community organizations and other nonprofit organizations around the world.

"Innovation is key to expanding education opportunity - and HP is privileged to collaborate with educators around the world who are committed to exploring the exciting possibilities that exist at the intersection of teaching, learning, and technology," said Jim Vanides, Worldwide Program Manager for HP Global Social Investments. "Emerging evidence from the last five years is very positive - excellent instruction combined with the right technologies is measurably improving student academic success."

“The Wharton School: Teaching Business Management in a Whole New Way”

“The Wharton School: Teaching Business Management in a Whole New Way”

Project: Jon M. Huntsman Hall, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Architect: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, New York Multimedia, telecommunications, and audio/visual design: Shen Milsom & Wilke, New York Completion: Autumn 2002

(PRWEB) February 8, 2003

Technology enhances the educational process by expanding interactions among students and educators, offering varied learning opportunities, providing distance learning, and giving easy access to many educational resources. Technology, in short, makes it easier to teach and much easier to learn.

With this in mind, The Wharton School set out to create the ultimate wired classroom building. The result is the schoolÂ’s new Jon M. Huntsman Hall. Designed by architects Kohn Pedersen Fox and completed this fall, the building, which serves 4,700 undergraduate and MBA students, offers technology--conceived by SM&W--that is at once pervasive and transparent.

“We are doing things here that have never before been attempted at this scale,” says Jon Burris, principal at Shen Milsom & Wilke. “The basic classroom technology at Wharton is used in other places. The difference is that at Wharton we have overlayed the basics with hardware and software systems that push technology utilization to a new level."

For example:

 The custom-designed Wharton lectern gives instructors “dashboard control” over the technology and room environment. It includes audiovisual controls, a microphone, and computer ports. Pre-set “room profiles” allow faculty to instantly recreate their preferred teaching conditions in each classroom. These conditions can also be controled by a technician located elsewhere on the campus.  One-touch digital video and audio recording in each of the 48 classrooms and in public areas allows instructors to archive classroom proceedings and viewing materials directly to the Wharton Web site. The result is an audio/video library that students, alumni, and instructors can freely access. This live and stored multimedia flows freely within the Wharton community and beyond, carried on the LAN, Internet, and other links.  In classrooms and public venues, the desktop computer and audiovisual control systems are integrated. This allows even those who have no technical skills to fully access the systems and have full functionality on demand.  Students can see, hear, and participate in discussions with international business leaders via multimedia and broadband audio and video conferencing. Displayed on multiple screens in each classroom, conferencing also allows classes to be team-taught by faculty in Philadelphia and at Wharton West in San Francisco simultaneously. Also linked is the European business school INSEAD (www. insead. edu), which has campuses in Singapore and Fontainebleau, France.  The 57 group-study rooms in the building are designed to enhance interactions among students working on collaborative projects. Each of these rooms offers network connectivity, a computer, and an electronic whiteboard connected to the roomÂ’s computer.  The auditorium and two colloquium rooms include systems for multiple-image displays, video, and teleconferencing systems.

According to the National Education Association, technologyÂ’s role in education is to provide students with an effortless medium for information queries and problem solving. Properly applied, it extends the studentsÂ’ understanding of the pertinent concepts, processes, and themes explored in class.

SM&WÂ’s work at Huntsman Hall allows Wharton to meet these goals. With access to a vast array of technology-based tools, WhartonÂ’s students and teachers are taking technology in education to a higher level than ever before.

Polka Tots

Polka Tots

Aimee Michaelis admits that when it comes to musical ability she only plays the radio. However that has not stopped the Medical Administrative Assistant instructor at Pima Medical Institute, 1701 W. 72nd Ave, Suite 130 in Denver from raising a musical family and rolling out a barrel of fun for polka enthusiasts in the Denver, Golden and Evans area.

Mesa, AZ (PRWEB) December 25, 2005

Aimee Michaelis admits that when it comes to musical ability she only plays the radio. However that has not stopped the Medical Administrative Assistant instructor at Pima Medical Institute, 1701 W. 72nd Ave, Suite 130 in Denver from raising a musical family and rolling out a barrel of fun for polka enthusiasts in the Denver, Golden and Evans area.

Aimee’s husband, Kevin has been playing professionally in polka bands since he was 10 years old and has built up quite a reputation in the area belting out vocals, playing the dulcimer, an ancient, harp-like instrument or beating out a rhythm on the drums. When Aimee was pregnant with the couple’s first son, Cameron, now 4 and later with 3-year-old twins, Trevor and Logan, 3, she put headphones on her belly and played classical music. She also attended many of her husband’s gigs when she wasn’t working nights as an instructor at PMI.

Now all three of Aimee’s son, as well as her husband, are out playing polka tunes throughout the state. All three boys have learned through observation. Each takes turns sitting on their father’s lap while he plays. Once, when Kevin went on break, Cameron snuck on stage and began tapping out a tune to the canned music that started to turn heads. Everyone was shocked to see it was the youngster who could keep a perfect beat. Soon his younger brothers followed suit. Now they have their own miniature dulcimer and drums that they play. All three are perfect mimics and have developed a real talent for music and dance. Sometimes the twins dance the polka together, imitating the perfect dance form of their grandparents, with Trevor assuming the lead dancer role (his Papa) and Logan as the follow (his Nana).

Polka enthusiasts throughout the area drive for miles to see Kevin and the boys perform in three or four different bands. However, Aimee isn’t totally left out. Her skills as a MAA are a perfect fit for running the band’s business and booking appointments. Three upcoming gigs are scheduled for 3 – 7 p. m.: Jan. 8th and Feb. 26th at The Denver Kickers Sports Club, 16776 W. 50th Ave. in Golden and at The Ebony Event Center in Evans tba.

PMI is one of the premier medical career colleges in the western United States. The privately owned, accredited school provides students with a well-rounded education embracing theoretical classroom studies, as well as on-site training in allied health facilities within the community. This gives the student the opportunity to function in a working environment.

PMI has been serving students since 1972, with campuses in: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Mesa and Tucson, AZ; Chula Vista, CA, Seattle and Renton, WA; Las Vegas, NV; as well as Colorado Springs and Denver. Additional information is available by calling their toll free number, 888-442-5998 or online at http://www. pmi. edu (http://www. pmi. edu).
