WellSpring | MTTI Selects it's learning as Learning Management Provider

KANSAS CITY (March 5, 2010) – MTTI-WellSpring Center for Health & Wellness (www.mtti.net), a Kansas City-based career training facility for massage therapy, fitness and general wellness, has chosen it’s learning as their learning management system (LMS). The user-friendly features of it’s learning will help supplement classroom delivery, offer hybrid and fully online course delivery and improve the overall learning experience for students. 

WellSpring was introduced to it’s learning, inc. (www.itslearning.net), through its partnership with EdTek Services, a provider of accreditation, program development, student recruitment, program management and eLearning technology products and services for small to mid-sized colleges and universities, which adopted the it’s learning LMS to support its current education partners.

“While WellSpring places major emphasis on hands-on training, the online capabilities of it’s learning will provide us with the framework to better improve the two-way information flow between students and faculty, streamline the delivery of online content, and offer students the tools to manage their academics,”  said Don Farquharson, President of WellSpring Center for Health & Wellness. 

“WellSpring and EdTek have been working on a plan to integrate more eLearning technology into their current classroom-based offerings to further enhance the quality education that WellSpring is known for,” said Paul Jacobelli, Founder and President of EdTek Services. “The it’s learning platform provided all the features we wanted in an LMS. It was easy to use and offered excellent support services.  We also determined that adopting the it’s learning LMS would cost less than using open-source software while still getting the best that open-source and the other commercial options offered.”  

The it’s learning courseware will provide unlimited access to information enabling students to always know exactly how they are doing with grades and attendance to ensure that they have achieved competency in areas of study. The implementation of it’s learning will also enable students and instructors to easily communicate outside of the classroom, fostering networking, creating stronger bonds between classmates, and enhancing discussion.  

WellSpring also plans to use it’s learning to develop new certification preparation classes and to support their Go Green initiative by dramatically reducing the amount of paper being used by the school.
