i-SAFE America Inc. and Microsoft Corp. have announced they have teamed up to create i-LEARN Online, an on-demand system for Internet safety education. i-LEARN Online enables teachers and students to learn about how to increase Internet safety and security through any computer with Internet access.

According to a survey National Assessment Center more than half of parents feel handicapped in monitoring and sheltering their children from inappropriate material. “We created i-LEARN Online to educate and empower people — so educators and parents can help protect their students, and students can help protect themselves and their peers with only the click of their mouse.” says Teri Schroeder, founder and CEO of i-SAFE.

i-LEARN Online provides teachers and parents with tools to educate others about safe and responsible use of the Internet. The program is composed of six online education video modules, which address personal safety, cyber-community issues, cyber-predator identification, cyber-security, intellectual property and community outreach. Each module is designed to educate the user to effectively combat cyber-crime.

“Technology brings benefits to millions of people around the world; however, it can also present new safety challenges so we need to equip our children to navigate the online world more safely and securely. Microsoft is excited to support i-SAFE and bring online safety education to
teachers to help educate our children to better protect themselves online.” says Mike Nash, corporate vice president of the Security Technology Unit at Microsoft.
