(Pennsylvania, March 9, 2020) — Andrew Lang, Founder/CEO of Omega Notes, a Pennsylvania-based company that delivers its online, Omega Notes Collaborative Learning Platform (CLP) to colleges and universities across the country, addresses the Department of Education’s COVID-19 requirements:

“Due to any crisis interruption, Institutions looking to provide a distance education format to currently enrolled students needing to complete a term or semester should consider our Omega Notes Collaborative Learning Platform,” states Lang whose company emerged from The Pennsylvania State University’s Invent Penn State initiative in 2016. Omega Notes’ CLP is a proprietary cloud-based teaching/learning software platform, utilizing AWS services, available LMS integrations, with FERPA and ADA compliance.

“The Omega Notes Collaborative Learning Platform is designed around the research and principles of Next Generation Digital Learning Environments (NGDLE*). Inherent in our product is a cloud-based ecosystem that focuses on universal design, advanced analytics, collaboration, customization, and interoperability,” emphasizes Lang.

“An outstanding feature that meets, and we feel surpasses, the Department of Education’s requirement for an institution to communicate with its students through technology as described under 34 CFR § 600.2, is the Platform’s Notebook. This is the hub for students and faculty to collaborate freely and fluidly as they would in a social media format. Students, regardless of where they are, can work with one another through notes, share study aids, and ask questions. Faculty, also regardless of their location, can participate, monitor, and evaluate students learning… in real-time.”

“And finally,” Andrew shares, “when those students have been recalled from travel abroad programs or canceled-out of experiential learning opportunities after the semester began, Omega Notes CLP allows institutions to offer courses on a non-standard schedule so those students can complete their term, very easily and safely.”
