United States Telecommunications Training Institute Launches New Online Learning Community Based on Enterprise Open-Source Platform

Posted on November 16, 2011 by Lee J

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) November 16, 2011 The United States Telecommunications Training Institute (USTTI), a non-profit government-industry joint venture that provides tuition-free training in the area of ICT policy, management, and cyber security, in partnership with the Florida State College of Jacksonville, has launched a newonline learning community (ustti2.org) for delivering training to key IT regulators, communications professionals, service providers and entrepreneurs in the developing world. The USTTI curriculum currently offers more than 80 courses spanning a diverse range of subjects in the areas of management, policy and technical training, including e-government, distance learning, telehealth, women’s leadership, and satellite, broadband and wireless communication. The new ustti2.org learning community is being delivered using joule®, an enterprise e-Learning platform managed and hosted by Moodlerooms, an e-Learning solutions provider. Joule is based on Moodle, the world’s most widely-adopted open-source learning software which offers educators and students across the globe easy access to rich teaching and learning tools. The joule platform will also facilitate the seamless expansion of USTTI student offerings to include additional learning resources and tools through its mobile application and collaborative social networking capabilities. “For decades, the USTTI has provided an invaluable service to the developing world and we’re honored to be working with them,” said Lou Pugliese, Moodlerooms Chairman and CEO. “The launch of this new online learning community is an important step in ensuring that professionals worldwide are keeping pace with the business and technological practices key to equity and success in the global economy.” In conjunction with the new community launch, the USTTI and FSCJ will be further expanding their already-broad curriculum to offer a new course on cyber security awareness and capacity building. The program will examine identity, financial and intellectual property theft, human exploitation, political espionage, and terrorism and sabotage, with an overview of best practices and adaptable policies. “As global broadband proliferates, it is imperative that nations take the proper steps to secure their networks in order to fully enjoy the benefits of high-speed Internet,” said Ambassador Phil Verveer, U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and Information Policy. “While the need for cyber security is equally great across the globe, the pressing priorities of developing nations often leave inadequate resources for cyber capacity building. Therefore, USTTI and Florida State College are providing an essential service to cyber security officials in the developing world.” About the United States Telecommunications Training Institute: The USTTI is a non-profit joint venture between leading US based communications and IT corporations and senior federal government officials who provide tuition-free training in the areas of ICT policy, management, and cyber security to ICT professionals and regulators from the developing world.
