(openPR) - November 12, 2007 - 21Classes Ends Beta Test Phase of its Educational Blogging Platform and Introduces New Features.
Launched in March 2007, 21Publish Inc. is announcing the end of the beta test phase of its classroom blogging service, 21Classes. The service has been received well by educators and continues to experience high, double digit growth rates each month. The service has been reliable since the beginning, but 21Publish decided to stay in the beta stage while introducing minor improvements and collecting customer feedback. Listening to 21Classes users has been a priority since the service was launched. The company’s CEO, Stefan Wiskemann, believes that "Keeping in touch with our customers is of utmost importance to us.” The company also collaborated with educational blogging experts such as Will Richardson and Konrad Glogowski. 21Classes believes in using technology to support rich pedagogical uses: "Our goal is to support pedagogical concepts with our platform. We do not just want to provide technology that teachers need to tweak in order to get some use out of it.”
In addition, 21Classes is now available as a dedicated solution that institutions can run on their own servers. Furthermore, in order to address the growing demand, the company now offers volume discounts for multiple teacher accounts. To celebrate the end of the beta period, the company has introduced more powerful fulltext search capabilities and improved management options for the 2.5 gigabyte web space provided with every teacher account.
