LearnKey, now a Better Learning Systems company
Good news, everyone! It was just announced that LearnKey is now a Better Learning Systems company.
What does this mean for you? As a parent company, Better Learning Systems oversees three brands – LearnKey, LearnCast, and Predix. Each company will continue to operate with their current branding, but the new partnership allows us to expand each others’ offerings in a way we could have never done before. LearnKey customers now have access to LearnCast’s mobile learning and publishing platform, and the Know Your Talents™ behavioral learning system powered by Predix.
I really encourage anyone interested in learning technologies to visit the Better Learning Systems website, research our different brands, and if you’re interested, speak to one of our representatives to see what we can do for you. Because we can now offer so much more than certification training, we can help you “connect the dots” and find the right program for your needs.
This is only the beginning of the big plans we have for the rest of this year, so stick around!

eLearning, Mobile Technology, and Talent Development Companies Announce Merger
Merger combines strengths and experience in creating premium learning content, provided through world-class mobile & online delivery systems, and leveraging behavioral learning to drive the best learning experience.
St. George, UT – February 1, 2012 – LearnKey Inc., LearnCast Inc and Predix, Inc. today announced a merger, effective immediately, to form Better Learning Systems, Inc (BLS). Through its three existing brands, BLS will provide premium video courseware content, online and mobile software as a service (SaaS) learning technology platforms, and behavioral learning systems to provide personalized, rapid learning and publishing solutions available worldwide.
BLS will be led by management and a board of directors derived from all three companies, with LearnKey founder John Clemons taking the role of Chairman. Lori Coruccini, founder and president of Predix, Inc. will lead worldwide sales and business development, and David Clemons, founder and CEO of LearnCast, will lead all mobile learning & emerging technology initiatives.
“The combined strengths and experience in creating premium learning content provided through world-class mobile & online delivery systems, and leveraging the behavioral aspect of learning enables us to rapidly deploy a high quality, low-cost prescribed learning solution to K-12, Higher Education, Corporate Enterprises, and individuals,” says John Clemons. “We are very excited to offer these learning products and services.”

Another crucial part of the learning experience is the need to assess behavior to identify an individual’s true talents, explains Lori Coruccini. Once identified, the employer and the individual can prescribe learning opportunities to leverage those talents and align them with career goals and company mission.
“One of the most important things you can learn about is yourself,” says Coruccini. “Having that knowledge and understanding of what you are best at greatly improves your chances of finding the best career and learning path for success.”
