partners and customers to access training over the Web - are
an increasingly attractive and cost-effective vehicle for
communicating with a geographically distributed audience,"

"Our solution sets us apart from our competitors who require
an expensive professional services engagement to integrate
their learning management system with their customers'
virtual classroom service of choice."
According to
Jeffrey Schmidt, WebEx's vice president business development
and channel sales, "Pathlore's Virtual Classroom Connector
is a quick and easy way to link Pathlore's extensive
