About SoftChalk Founded in 2002 by Sue Polyson Evans, Robert Godwin-Jones and Peter Huneke, SoftChalk is the result of a vision to create a software tool that made it easy for educators to connect with their learners. Evans and Jones have a history of innovation in educational technology, having worked on a project in 1996 that resulted in the creation of one of the first commercially available learning management systems, Web Course in a Box, which was later sold to E-education leader Blackboard Inc. As LMS systems began to proliferate on college campuses, we saw that educators needed an easy way to move beyond the static lesson content ( word processing documents and slide shows ) found in most on-line courses. Through our work with faculty, we found that although educators desire to create sophisticated, interactive content, they typically do not have the time to learn complicated authoring tools. Huneke joined as CTO and we set about creating a software product based on these principles: the software had to be simple to use, yet powerful enough that educators could create truly interactive content. And the lesson content had to be portable for use in virtually any learning management system or on any web server. The result was SoftChalk. Today, SoftChalk's flagship product and is used by more than 3, 300 organizations worldwide for K-12, Higher Education and corporate training. Educators at institutions using SoftChalk have said, SoftChalk has revolutionized the way our faculty teach. With over a 70% increase in sales every year since 2002, SoftChalk has experienced exponential growth.
