i-SAFE America Inc., a nonprofit Internet safety foundation, and Microsoft Corp. today 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.

�A survey by our National Assessment Center revealed that more than half of parents feel their ability to monitor and shelter their children from inappropriate material is limited,� said Teri Schroeder, founder and CEO of i-SAFE. �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.�

The i-LEARN Online program gives adults and kids access to i-SAFE�s free Internet safety lessons. No longer available solely in a classroom environment, 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.
