FAIRFIELD, NJ--(Marketwire - October 7, 2009) - Timecruiser Computing Corporation®,
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) partner to the higher education community,
today announced that The College of Westchester (CW) has selected
Timecruiser's Solution Suite -- CampusCruiser™ and CourseCruiser™ LMS
-- as its campus-wide academic portal and Learning Management System.
Timecruiser's Solutions were chosen from a number of competitors for their
attractive cost benefit ratio and level of support and flexibility.
As a college committed to preparing an academically and culturally diverse
student body for the workforce, The College of Westchester needed an
academic portal and LMS that could support its career-focused educational
model and adapt to the school's needs as it grows -- a steady 20% for the
last several years. Timecruiser's reasonably priced SaaS portal and LMS
system will help the college keep its tuition at an affordable level --
critical to today's economically challenged workforce.
CampusCruiser and CourseCruiser were chosen to replace the current systems
after an extensive review process and intensive testing. "We couldn't be
more pleased with our decision to partner with Timecruiser. CampusCruiser
will give us integration with our ERP system, communities and collaboration
tools, such as student profiles & clubs, professional committees, Cruiser
Café Social Network, blogs, and email and calendaring solutions," said
Kelly Walsh, CIO, The College of Westchester. "When all of our online,
hybrid, and technology-enhanced face to face courses are transitioned to
CourseCruiser LMS, we will be able to provide a seamless user experience,
encouraging collaboration among instructors, students, committees, and
teams."
"Timecruiser welcomes The College of Westchester to the Timecruiser
community," said Allen Wang, president and CEO, Timecruiser. "Making the
decision to switch to a new learning system is never easy. We look forward
to partnering with CW and making their transition to CampusCruiser and
CourseCruiser smooth and successful."
