February 09, 2011
SlateXP, Inc is proud to announce a new partnership with Securus Software, Inc. SlateXP is the exclusive United States distributor of an advanced network monitoring and anti-cyberbullying software called Securus.
SlateXP is able to offer the software to districts and schools that want to increase access to the web for students and faculty, while maintaining accountability for how technology is used. Whether through the hosted Cloud solution or on your school network, Securus gives administrators the ability to know how school technology is being used, on and offline and intervene before a crisis escalates.
Securus e-safety software also adds an important component to the SlateXP platform. With blocking and filtering software, students are often limited in their ability to leverage the power of Web 2.0 tools. With Securus, the SlateXP LMS is open to the Internet, but has sophisticated technology that captures inappropriate behavior and alerts school leaders of such activity in nearly real-time.

SlateXP makes a timely entrance into the market with a new Learning Management System
August 10, 2010
Birmingham, AL - On July 1, 2010, SlateXP, released its flagship product SlateLMS, a learning management system that offers an intuitive, user-friendly system and extensive support to the diverse online education market.
SlateXP's launch of the LMS comes at a time when online learning is experiencing accelerated growth across secondary, post-secondary and corporate learning markets. "We've found a more sophisticated user group now exists who has grown frustrated by time wasted navigating through complex click sequences only to complete simple tasks. For these users it's unfortunate that it's no simple task for older applications to react to changing market demands. Therefore, developing a new web-application around fresh, user sensitive requirements, gives us an advantage among other learning platforms" said, Lee Ross, SlateXP's CEO.
At its inception, the goal of SlateXP was to take into account the frustrations and complaints of current learning management system users and build an LMS that solves those problems. The feedback gained from instructors during the pre-release was overwhelming positive. Comments ranged from "SlateLMS allows me to do in one step what my current system requires in five steps" to "It's very possible that I could train myself".
Improving the collection of data, reporting in ways that inform instruction and appreciating learning habits was also at forefront of the SlateLMS design. Not only will learners receive valuable feedback, but curriculum providers will gain more insight as to the strengths and weaknesses of their learning materials. SlateXP believes that it's not just the learner that needs improvement but all who accept the challenge of making a more effective and efficient educational system.
"We started SlateXP after hearing the same concerns and complaints with existing learning management systems so consistently expressed. As we continue to evolve the design, it is our goal to revolutionize the way people experience online learning," said Ross.

"The National Network of Digital Schools and SlateXP are valued partners of UMPS CARE Charities, and we couldn't do this without their support," said Jim Reynolds, a Major League umpire for the past ten seasons and a member of the Board of Directors of UMPS CARE Charities. "Especially in this down economy, the generosity of supporters like NNDS and SlateXP is much needed and appreciated."
Relying solely on donated funds from organizations like NNDS and SlateXP to operate, UMPS CARE Charities helps children coping with cancer and other serious illness, as well as children from single parent households or those awaiting adoption, by providing them with a unique way to participate in the world of Major League baseball. In addition to the Annual Golf Classic, the organization works tirelessly year round to raise money through other events and generous supporters, efforts which are an integral part to sustaining and creating additional opportunities for children."NNDS and SlateXP are thrilled to be able to support UMPS CARE Charities and, through their efforts, children in need across America," said George Pacinda, general manager of NNDS. "For kids who have to face difficult realities every day, UMPS CARE Charities offers a fun, special escape into one of our favorite pastimes - baseball."
