TV Worldwide, the first web-based global TV network, announced today that it had teamed with Pearson Learning Solutions, a part of Pearson Education, to create the first in a series of professional development courses for delivery via Internet TV. The initial Internet TV presentation, featuring the Homeland Security education course developed by Homeland Defense experts Kevin Collins and Richard White, was recently launched for distribution via the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Graduate University Course Catalog. The course will also be distributed via TV Worldwide's Homeland Defense Internet TV Channel at www.homelanddefensetv.com .

"We are pleased to work with Pearson Learning Solutions to develop selected current and future course content into Internet TV-based curricula,” remarked Dave Gardy, CEO of the TV Worldwide network. "We feel this professional development content will be especially useful to certain niche-based target demographic audiences served by the Internet TV channels of the TV Worldwide Network.

"TV Worldwide is a pioneering leader in the Internet TV arena and understands the complexities and advantages of delivering on-line video-based education,” said Christopher Will, Director of Market Development for Pearson Learning Solutions (www.pearsonlearningsolutions.com). "We look forward to delivering on the promise of this exciting new market with pertinent and compelling educational content for those professionals who enjoy the interactivity and convenience of professional development education via Internet TV.”

Through this partnership, Pearson and TV Worldwide will continue to expand the range of content available via Internet TV to include such subjects as military familiarization training and other content of interest to both government and commercial professional audiences.
