Hyperwave implements Electronic Learning Center for Health and Human Services’ Head Start Project
 Head Start is designed to foster healthy development in low-income children. Program grantees and delegate agencies deliver a range of services, responsive and appropriate to each child's and each family's heritage and experience, that encompass all aspects of a child's development and learning. The Head Start program is administered by the Head Start Bureau, the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Health and Human Services selected Hyperwave to deliver a collaborative learning center that is based upon four core components: 1. people being organized into communities, 2. processes that systematically capture learning and turn the learning into lessons available to others, 3. technology that enables the flow of information and connects TA specialists across the network and finally, 4. content organized as Head Start knowledge assets. "The Head Start Electronic Learning Center is an excellent example of organizations requiring solutions that merge collaboration, knowledge management, and elearning," stated Peter Watson, Vice President of Hyperwave. "All participants across the Head Start community now have the ability to capture, collaborate and reuse information to improve the quality and delivery of these services. The Center will play a critical role in how we deliver essential services to economically disadvantaged children." Hyperwave partnered with Cleverex Systems to provide both project management and services to ensure the successful delivery of the Head Start Electronic Learning Center. Cleverex is also responsible for providing Training and first line support of the application. Cleverex is a leading provider of case management and service delivery information systems to the nation's Head Start programs and other non-profit, social services and education organizations (www.cleverex.com). "This is one of the most exciting functional additions that we have incorporated to this point on one of our most exciting and relevant projects. The potential for unification of the Head Start community is enormous", said David Hart Smith, Project Director for Cleverex, during a demonstration to a core influential group of Head Start delegates who responded with great excitement and enthusiasm. The Head Start Bureau has defined additional goals for this effort that relate to the quality of TA and the effective/efficient delivery of TA services. These goals are: Increase the capacity of people to collaborate and connect with one another for the purpose of fostering the exchange of knowledge, skill and ability. Increase the capacity to collect and disseminate needed knowledge (e.g. best practices, lessons learned, success stories, Q&A.) Increase the capacity to capture what is learned from experience and make that knowledge available across the network. Decrease the cost of paper-based production and distribution Increase capacity to develop approaches to delivering TA services based on local needs Enable Grantees to self-train and to connect with distant learning opportunities. Facilitate the delivery of targeted learning events and educational modules Increase the capacity to distribute customized on demand information and data About the Department of Health and Human Services The Department of Health and Human Services is the United States government's principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves.
