New $3,000 Online MBA Closes Technology Gap

    FORT COLLINS, CO, March 20, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today ILM is announcing a partnership with Summitsoft, Inc. to help provide productivity tools to our students to help them succeed in the MBA program. "For more than 20 years, Summitsoft Corporation has been dedicated to providing great solutions at a great price. Of course we jumped at the chance to help ILM students get cost effective access to what we think is the next big set of productivity tools," said Rebecca Deterding, a Vice President with Summitsoft.

In addition to featuring Summitsoft productivity software, the new program leverages the best available mass market technology, has a very modern teaching centric design, and emphasizes teaching excellence intended to produce student success.

"We use some of the best technology available to facilitate an exceptional learning environment," noted ILM CIO Mark Rupert. "Not only do we use best of breed technology for the online classroom, but we provide access to over 29,000 digital books, over 3,000 full text peer review journals, and for many of our peer reviewed resources we can deliver them as text or audio mp3 files. Since our focus is on adults, what is better than being able to do your research by listening to mp3's while driving to or from work."

"Our hope is to build an international body of students who can start to establish a network of both information sharing and relationships," Dr. Lady concluded. "ILM is committed to delivering the most accessible MBA program in the world. But more than that, with a 45 semester credit hour program that exceeds the academic standards of most high profile large university programs and an industry low tuition, it is just now a question of getting the word out and letting people know this education opportunity exists."
