iLinc Enables Kindergarten Students To Learn Online

Easy-to-Use Virtual Classroom Tool Helps Kids Connect with Teachers Throughout the Northeast

PHOENIX, Arizona (September 29, 2005) –

iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions announced today that White Hat Management has chosen the LearnLinc Virtual Classroom Software to teach students as young as kindergarten age within White Hat Management’s Distance and Electronic Learning Academy (DELA). The program is currently helping more than 3,400 students throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania achieve academic success in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

“The iLinc Web conferencing software is extremely easy to use and we find that even very young children find the controls intuitive,” noted Marcus May, general manager of the Digital Content Division of White Hat Management. “We use the iLinc software to deliver curriculum in real-time via the Internet to kids ranging in age from kindergarten to 12th grade. iLinc has done a fantastic job of incorporating instruction tools into the software that help to simulate an in-person learning experience, and we have been particularly impressed with how our youngest students are able to learn and interact with teachers online.”

“Although the iLinc Web conferencing software has modes for meetings, Web casts, and customer support, we find that customers most appreciate the learning mode of the iLinc software called LearnLinc,” noted James M. Powers, Jr., president and chief executive officer of iLinc Communications. “Hundreds of major private and corporate universities have selected LearnLinc as their organization-wide distance learning tool because we offer what we believe to be the best virtual classroom product on the market and we provide tools to make our software easy to integrate with other synergistic technologies such as learning management systems and corporate intranets.”
