TUTR Plato Learning (MM)

PLATO Learning, Inc. (NASDAQ: TUTR), a leading provider of K�adult computer-based and e-learning solutions, today announced the version 1.3 release of the PLATO Learning Environment� (PLE�). PLATO Learning�s continuous innovation and investment in PLE affords subscription customers instant access to valuable new features and functionality upgrades�including the one-of-a-kind Create Custom Resource tool, teacher and student communication tools, and enhanced batch enroll features. Found in more than 1,200 educational institutions across the U.S., this software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery platform now has more than 1.2 million registered learners and has delivered more than 16 million instructional sessions since its launch in 2006.

Licensed on a subscription basis via an Internet application service provider (ASP), PLE combines 21st-century technology with PLATO Learning�s award-winning curricula, assessment, and standards management to create the industry�s first truly unified system for integrating the key aspects of the educational process�delivering engaging classroom content, formative, prescriptive assessment, and instruction; standards and curriculum management; custom course creation and publishing; data analysis and reporting�all through a single, intuitive, online interface.

�PLE is a bright spot for our organization as an ever expanding number of educational institutions continue to realize its value for managing and delivering online courses and instructional content, assessing student progress and prescribing individualized instruction, managing standards, and reporting and analyzing data,� said Vin Riera, president and CEO for PLATO Learning. �Last quarter alone, we added 145 school districts and community colleges to our PLE customer base. We look to carry this momentum into 2009 and beyond.�

PLE is differentiated from other products because of its seamless integration of standards, content, and assessment to provide a personalized learning experience. It is also the only LMS to support full user customization of content and provides comprehensive reporting features for accountability compliance. Furthermore, PLE enables teachers and learners anytime, anywhere online access.

�Besides PLATO�, there is no other software that is student-paced with all the depth and content for secondary learning, as well as state standards alignment,� said Patrick Hockey, technology administrator at the Philipsburg-Osceola Area School District (Penn.). Since implementing PLATO� solutions, students within this rural district have had greater flexibility to choose and attend online classes which has helped reduce dropout rates by nearly 15 percent.

�With the information that PLATO Learning provides, you can make every student accountable for their time and performance,� said Hockey. �Whatever you want to extract, however you want to drill down, PLE gives you access to use it as a valuable tool for reporting to parents, faculty, and even other school districts.�
