Hi Gang,
Just wanted to post this message for coralrealm.com subscribers, or for folks that are interested in marinelife education.
Chased out of the ocean and into the virtual classroom
Lincoln, NE (September 5, 2001) -- As the recent string of shark attacks send ocean-lovers scrambling for land, the Midwest company "We Love Big Smelly Fish!" hopes more people kick off their sandshoes and logon to their marine life education website CoralRealm.com. Launched two years ago, CoralRealm.com is filling a serious need for high-quality, user-friendly information -- as their growing national and worldwide memberships prove. This week, the creators of CoralRealm.com announced a major website expansion with the implementation of the tuition-free, CoralRealm University Online (CRU Online).
CRU Online is a totally virtual campus offering students the opportunity to expand their marine life knowledge through a variety of interactive presentations including online slide shows, video clips, feature articles and games. Students also have access to over 6,000 professional photographs and in-depth species descriptions featured in the Sharks and the Reef Fishes Encyclopedias, online photo galleries and dozens of special interest articles on CoralRealm.com. CRU Online rewards student achievement with basic and advanced CRU Online degrees.
"Many people are very interested in enhancing their knowledge of marine life but they don't have the desire, time or resources to take classes from a "bricks and mortar" education institution," says General Partner Terri Parson. "CoralRealm.com overcomes these barriers with 24-hour, worldwide access to high-quality, scientifically-accurate information that encourages learners to have fun while they learn."
"We Love Big Smelly Fish!" general partner Scott Michael, believes CRU Online offers middle, high school and colleges a unique opportunity to access information that has traditionally been available only through major biology libraries. Michael himself, is an internationally recognized, professional underwater photographer, author of marine biology books, researcher and reef-fishes/shark expert.
"Our Advisory Board consists of world-renown ichthyologists, marine biologists, professional photographers, and researchers. Their expertise and contributions to CoralRealm.com puts us in the forefront of educational resources for schools today. We hope that many people around the world, especially teachers and students, will benefit from CRU Online," comments Michael.
