American Jewish World Service Chooses Scholar360 as their Learner Management System

For Immediate Release

(Norfolk, VA)
Scholar360, an eLearning solutions provider, announced that American Jewish World Service selected the Scholar360 LMS™ to provide their staff and fellows with the ability to network, a secure place to disseminate academic material and share resources, as well as provide training to create future social justice leaders within their World Partners Fellowship program. After a comprehensive evaluation process, AJWS selected Scholar360 because of the learner management system’s hosting solutions, affordable license fees, and excellent customer support.

“We developed and launched the pilot World Parners Fellowship Program in 2004 to Bombay. We immediately understood from the pilot program that our people needed an interface to share their experiences, draw from others’ experiences, and build a community to better fulfill our mission: to alleviate poverty, hunger and disease among the people of the developing world regardless of race, religion or nationality.

In the second year, we asked the fellows to create a joint blog but it lost momentum without staff involvement and it was too open to the public. We then decided to search for a software system that could provide both a private social network and an academic platform. Our program has since undergone metamorphosis, which includes more of an emphasis on providing online learning. We look forward to implementing Scholar360 LMS to provide the growing number of fellows with the tools they need to become the future social justice leaders.”
