Tutornet announces plans for educational search service

3 June 2004

Online educational services provider Tutornet has announced that it signed an exclusive five-year deal with Harvest Consulting Inc to provide an interactive search service focused on education.

The software licensing and marketing agreement with Utah-based Harvest enables Tutornet to integrate its interactive classroom software with Harvest Consulting's search engine, Advanced Crawler Technology (ACT), in order to develop an interactive search service focused on education.

Called Tutornet INSIGHT, the new system aims to provide tailored search results focused on the context of the question asked. The user will have the option to access a Tutornet classroom and interact with a live tutor to get a better understanding of the subject matter of interest. Tutors will be able to assist in narrowing search requests in order to return more relevant results.

The targeted education market segments for Tutornet INSIGHT include; students, teachers, professors, parents, public and private schools, home schooling, colleges, universities, certification for professionals (law, accounting, health, etc), adult and vocational education such as home improvement, gardening, and financial and tax planning.

Tutornet and Harvest Consulting plan to launch the new service in the third quarter of 2004.
