for Career College Professionals

other. It has been built on a sophisticated engine using proven social
networking principles and applications, yet it provides a simple

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) -- MaxKnowledge
today unveiled The Lounge at the Career College Association (CCA) Annual
Convention & Exposition.
The Lounge provides an informal space for career college professionals
to learn from each other. It has been built on a sophisticated engine
using proven social networking principles and applications, yet it
provides a simple platform for unstructured learning and development.
Provided as a free service for the career college community, The Lounge
empowers users to create their own personal profiles, announce their
learning and development interests, create learning groups, post blogs,
initiate discussions, and even share and discover what?s happening in
real time.
?The Lounge is not a social networking site; it transforms the concept
of social networking into social learning. The Lounge has been designed
to provide a powerful learning and development opportunity for
professionals in our sector,? said Dr. Amir Moghadam, CEO and President
of MaxKnowledge.
?For years we?ve been offering structured learning opportunities
through our tutorials, webinars, courses and programs. Although all of
our learning opportunities have been participant-centered, we?ve always
been the primary drivers. The Lounge provides an unstructured learning
environment, one in which any professional in the career college
community can take the driver?s seat,? said Jay Hollowell, Vice
President of Training.
?The Lounge is an online learning community of career college
professionals. It?s the place where our sector?s educators can exercise
their own thoughts and reflections, and make connections with other
colleagues who have similar interests,? added Dr. Gary Meers, Vice
President of Education.
The Lounge also includes the Performance TV show sponsored by
MaxKnowledge. Formed as a special group within The Lounge, Performance
TV conducts interviews with career college experts on hot topical
issues.
The Lounge can be accessed through all training portals powered by
MaxKnowledge, including the company?s CCA portal (www.maxknowledge.com), the state association Online
Training Centers, and the Center for Excellence in Education (Imagine
America Foundation).
