Nursing Continuing Education Online Launches using Open Source Solutions












Nursing Education Online


Santa Cruz, CA (PRWEB) September 5, 2008

The Healthcare Medicine Institute (HealthCMI) launches nursing continuing education online courses using open source solutions for the web at www.healthcmi.com . “Open source solutions allow our learning management systems to operate on any type of server and all browsers including those for Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux thereby bringing the online classroom to all nurses with access to the internet,” notes Adam White, President of the Healthcare Medicine Institute. At HealthCMI, nurses simply download course materials, take an online quiz, and automatically receive a certificate of completion for nursing continuing education credit. “HealthCMI provides California Board of Registered Nursing approved online courses. In addition, HealthCMI is adding Florida Board of Nursing certification as well as certification for Washington D.C. and national certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center,” notes Adam White.

It seems that integrative medicine may be the future but HealthCMI’s integrated technology is in wide-scale use today. HealthCMI uses the Joomla! open source content management system to implement learning management systems for end users such as acupuncturists, nurses, and dentists. Joomla! gets financial support for code development projects from Google and open source organizations. Joomla! is considered one of the largest and most powerful open source content management systems in use today. It is employed worldwide for everything from small-scale websites to large-scale corporate applications. The advantage for HealthCMI is that multitudes of plug-ins are produced by the open source community for Joomla! . This facilitates the secure, powerful, and ergonomic implementation of systems for operating an online classroom.

Known for its acupuncture continuing education online division, HealthCMI launches the nursing continuing education online division with three important courses on the treatment of high cholesterol and triglycerides. “The hyperlipidemia series of nursing continuing education online courses addresses the acute need for education concerning this serious medical condition affecting millions of people worldwide. Part one of this series provides the western medical understanding of high cholesterol and high triglycerides. Part two provides dietary remedies for high cholesterol and triglycerides while part three provides herbal remedies from the Chinese medical tradition,” notes Adam White. Mr. White explains that open source learning management systems used by HealthCMI allow authors in China and the U.S.A. to seamlessly collaborate on research and educational documents. This allows for the sharing of information between the acupuncture and nursing continuing education divisions of the institute. The result is a comprehensive approach to addressing high cholesterol and high triglycerides with the best of western and Chinese medicine combined. “The future of medicine is integrative medicine — East meets West. People want solutions and a combined effort raises the bar of educational standards,” notes Mr. White.

“Nursing continuing education online has never been easier and it now joins our acupuncture continuing education online classroom presence on the internet,” notes Mr. White. Next, HealthCMI plans to complement its medical education offerings by implementing an online classroom learning environment for its dental continuing education division. “At HealthCMI, we are dedicated to quality educational materials for medical professionals. We strive to improve the quality of information available for the acupuncture, nursing, and dental communities,” notes Mr. White. In addition to its educational offerings, the Joomla! open source system employed by HealthCMI allows for the distribution of HealthCMI’s medical news and information systems. The RSS feeds are generated by the content management system for the acupuncture continuing education, nursing continuing education, and dental continuing education divisions of the company.

About HealthCMI:

HealthCMI is the online division of the Healthcare Medicine Institute. HealthCMI provides online continuing education courses to medical professionals for acupuncture, dental, and nursing applications. The Healthcare Medicine Institute is dedicated to supporting a consortium of authors and presenters in providing valuable, useful, and interesting medical works in an effort to raise medical standards of education worldwide.

Restore America’s Estuaries Launches New Website — Renovates their “Online Habitat”

Posted on December 1, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 30, 2009

Just miles from America’s largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay, Restore America’s Estuaries recently launched a new website to help in its efforts on behalf of the nation’s estuaries.

The new site helps the public locate resources and materials on estuarine and coastal habitat restoration including: publications, the latest news and science, restoration videos, and information on how and where to volunteer on behalf of our estuaries and coasts. Blue Water Media has helped Restore America’s Estuaries create an innovative website commensurate with its role as a leading advocate in the fight to protect American estuaries.

The new website features a number of improvements that enhance its functionality and make it more interactive. Restore America’s Estuaries also wanted to use the website to better serve the coastal and estuarine habitat restoration community. To do this, as part of the increased functionality, they included a new blog, marked by a convenient link at the top of the website, and connections to its pages on the social networking sites, facebook and myspace.

The website also has links to topics including: estuarine education, involvement and volunteer opportunities, and resources for further study. The education section gives site visitors more information on what estuaries are (bodies of water where salt and fresh water meet, like the Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Tampa Bay and others), and on the imminent dangers facing estuaries. The get involved section allows users to find volunteer opportunities near their homes, find out about the latest federal and state legislation and regulations affecting the nation’s estuaries, and donate money on behalf of coastal restoration.

Blue Water Media has designed the website with vibrant color schemes and designs which help paint the picture of a healthy estuary. The website also incorporates vivid images of estuaries, the people who enjoy our coasts and bays, and the animals and plants that rely on healthy estuaries.

Blue Water Media has provided Restore America’s Estuaries the capability to keep visitors abreast of RAE and restoration community news. To do this, Blue Water Media installed Joomla, an award-winning content management system that enables Web users like RAE to build and update their websites through a user-friendly format–a feature Restore America’s Estuaries has put to good use by adding a breaking news section to its website, keeping users up to date on environmental news.

Online Community for E-Marketers is Open and Welcoming Visitors

Posted on November 25, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) January 12, 2007

Gold Lasso, LLC, a leading provider of on-demand email marketing software and services, announced that it has launched Dot Email (www.dotemail.com), a new, free online community for email marketers.

The website was built to serve the professional needs of today’s e-marketers, and in keeping with Gold Lasso’s open source roots, Dot Email was created entirely with open source software such as Joomla and related components. Dot Email features detailed resource links, message boards, links to industry news, blog commentaries, file sharing and job and marketplace sections.

“Email marketing has become a billion dollar business, and those marketing professionals that count on email as a valuable part of their marketing toolkits are able to apply innovative strategies and best practices to their work,” said Elie Ashery, CEO and co-founder of Gold Lasso and the creator of dotemail.com. “This online community was built specifically for email marketers as a forum to share their successful ideas, keep up with news, learn tricks of the trade, and just to comment or complain about some of the fun or vexing issues that serve to continually motivate them.”

A sample of the issues already being discussed at Dot Email includes the potential impact of Internet video on marketers in 2007. A recent study by the media research firm Horowitz Associates reveals that Internet video content is grabbing more mobile device users all the time, with eight percent of all Internet users reporting they watch video content on a handheld device at least once a month. How will this growing trend impact email marketers in 2007? Early users of Dot Email are already sharing opinions on the most successful methods for packaging an email that is linked to video content in order to boost viewers.

Michael Weisel, Chief Technology Office of Gold Lasso commented “it is obvious that email is helping to drive the growth of Internet videos and video podcasts, and in most instances, my team has found that by posting links to video in emails, you will get far more viewers than if you send video clips imbedded in the email.”

Other issues that will surely impact the way marketers use email in 2007 are email deliverability and the continued growth of online ad spending.

“Not every marketing or sales professional has the time or resources to attend an expensive conference just to network and keep up with the latest electronic marketing trends,” Ashery said. “But anyone can find the time to visit Dot Email each week in order to make new contacts, learn new marketing strategies and keep up with the latest industry news. This free website represents our effort to give back to the marketing community, but like anything communal, you will get out of it what you put into it.”

ABOUT GOLD LASSO, LLC

Gold Lasso, LLC, located in Gaithersburg, MD, is an interactive technology marketing firm that started operations in 2001. The company primarily services the association, publishing, retail, education and hospitality industries.
