Oracle Launches Oracle Learning Information Exchange at Arab Education Summit

AMMAN, Jordan - 7 May 2013

Oracle Corporation (ORCL) announced today the global availability of Oracle Learning Information Exchange, a real-time data management platform for students, teachers and educational authorities/providers. The Oracle Learning Information Exchange gathers all interactions and data from new or older systems in a central hub and provides intelligent personalized dashboards, shared reporting and services and digital commerce capabilities for lifelong learning.

Oracle aims to simplify what has become an increasingly complex learning environment brought about by the ubiquity of courseware, collaborative environments, and education options that transcend the traditional boundaries of education institutions and geography. Oracle Learning Information Exchange provides a logical linkage between course content, assessments, students, teachers, parents, mentors and administrators.

Oracle Learning Information Exchange supports the promotion of student success, aspirational pipelines and closes gaps in the talent pipeline to higher education, jobs and economic development.

The solution centres on a connected education strategy consisting of:

· A public knowledge platform to host information services about careers, courses, content and qualifications

· A collaboration environment to enable exchange of views between students, teachers, parents and mentors

· A business rules engine to provide pro-active recommendations on next educational steps and remedial actions and alerts on any device

· A platform to host links to global content and integrated individual learning records

Other features include:

· Flexible and dynamic sourcing, assembly and delivery of digital content from multiple sources in context to user including contextual search

· Web-enabled virtual campus with access anytime, anyplace on any device

· Ability to support a mix and match of course modules and content sources to create accredited qualification

· An ability to create a social knowledge repository for informed career, learning path decisions and stakeholder involvement

· Development of comparative statistics and insights at class, course, teacher, school, university and state levels

· Real-time feedback to teachers via analytics and data mining

· Easy plug-in of existing or new IT data services to platform

"Education today faces some serious challenges which threaten to make learning environments unmanageable and fragmented," said Cole Clark, Global Vice President, Education & Research Business Unit at Oracle. "The Learning Information Exchange engages students with a self-paced, lifelong virtual online learning environment; and provides aggregated real-time reporting of disparate data sources to better inform teachers and education stakeholders through learning analytics focused on outcomes."
