EvaluNet (Pty) Ltd is a South African-based developer of educational software headquartered in Cape Town. The company was founded in 1995 as ''Interactive Learning Solutions'' and changed name to EvaluNet in 1999. In September 1999, Naspers,〔(Naspers: Financials, 2000, Private Education Report )〕 a multinational JSE-listed media company, purchased a 49% share holding in EvaluNet. In 2002, the company founder and MD, Dereck Marnewick, purchased this share holding back from Naspers. In 2003 the South African National Department of Education commissioned EvaluNet and four other local companies to form a national body representing educational vendors in their dealings with government and educational institutions. The organization is called the ''Associated Distributors of Educational Supplies in Southern Africa'' 〔(Associated Distributors of Educational Supplies in Southern Africa )〕 and currently represents 40 members. ==Products== In 1996, EvaluNet become the first company to introduce the concept of assessment and testing software to the South African school and business market. By September 2000, 300 South African schools were using EvaluNet's flagship software product ''e-SCHOOL'' to conduct paperless tests and examinations. In 2005, ''e-SCHOOL'' was criticized for being too open-ended for most South African teachers that require more content-rich resources. The company has since revised its product offering and has released new titles under the Biblion, GetAhead, XT (the replacement to e-SCHOOL) and MathPRO brands. EvaluNet has also had a role to play in developing online resources for teachers in South Africa,〔National Professional Teachers' Organisation of South Africa (NAPTOSA) publication: Naptosa INsight, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2010〕 namely with its online publication ''Teacher's Monthly'' and its involvement in developing an online publication entitled ''Teaching English Today'' for the English Academy of Southern Africa - the only academy for the English language in the world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「EvaluNet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
