scheduled for April 23-24, 2009 at The Ronald Reagan International Trade
Center in Washington, D.C. occurs at a critical time with the changing of
the guard as the Obama Administration and new Congress are set to take
office in January 2009.

Even in the midst of the credit and liquidity squeeze in the capital
markets, student loan financing is still universally recognized as
essential to the economic, social and cultural growth of the nation. Just
as Washington has stepped in to bolster liquidity in the housing sector,
the new Administration and Congress will most assuredly be taking steps to
ensure the continued availability of student lending. Industry participants
can count on additional legislation and other steps to increase market
liquidity in the vital student loan sector.

			<pubDate>Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:22:00 EST</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[ARMONK, NY--(eMediaWorld - November 18, 2008) -  IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced new IBM Forms
software that speeds up business processes by removing bottlenecks caused
by paper and by allowing employees without technical skills in any
department to create electronic forms or surveys in minutes, which could
save clients as much as $500,000(1) per year.

Until now, compiling forms and surveys required several technical workers
weeks, not minutes, at a significant cost in information technology (IT)
department time and salaries. Today, however, electronic forms are
increasingly employed to overcome the bottlenecks caused by inefficient,
paper-based forms and as a way to reduce a company&#039;s carbon footprint.

The Forest of Reading is a children&#039;s choice award program, run by the Ontario Library Association, in which Ontario students read at least five books selected for their age range. They then vote for their favourites on the official voting day in April. A committee of librarians and teacher librarians from public and school libraries choose the titles.

			<description><![CDATA[PHOENIX, AZ--(eMediaWorld - October 21, 2008) -  NextStudent Inc. announced today that it
intends to explore alternatives for creating liquidity for the outstanding
auction rate notes issued by NextStudent Master Trust I.

&quot;We&#039;ve signed a letter of engagement with a major financial institution,&quot;
said Jack Wallace, NextStudent Executive Vice President. &quot;We haven&#039;t
initiated any transactions yet, but we&#039;re committed to exploring all
liquidity options for the Trust.&quot;

These options include the possibility of repurchases in the open market or
a tender offer for some or all of the Trust&#039;s auction rate notes. If the
Trust were to make any future repurchases or a tender offer, however, the
purchase price would likely be at an amount less than par.

			<description><![CDATA[PHOENIX, AZ--(eMediaWorld - September 15, 2008) -  In conjunction with one of its partners,
NextStudent this week began offering affordable short-term health insurance
plans for recent graduates and for those between jobs, as well as student
health insurance plans that offer a lower-cost, more flexible alternative
to some school and parent insurance plans.

Recent graduates may no longer be eligible for coverage under their
parents&#039; health plans, and with unemployment at a five-year high and
companies continuing to cut back expenses, it will likely take longer for
new graduates to find jobs with health benefits. Families with children
still in college may find NextStudent&#039;s student health plans offer better
coverage and are more cost-effective than some school or family health
plans.

			<description><![CDATA[PHOENIX, AZ--(eMediaWorld - September 8, 2008) -  As the economic downturn continues and families
face tighter budgets, ongoing troubles in the student loan markets, and a
national unemployment rate that just hit its highest level in five years,
more students are struggling to pay for their college education.

The Labor Department reported on September 5th, 2008 that the national
unemployment rate spiked to 6.1 percent in August -- 9.4 million unemployed
Americans -- up from 5.7 percent in July and the highest the unemployment
rate has been since September 2003. Employers cut 84,000 jobs last month,
bringing the total number of jobs eliminated since January to 605,000.

CrunchTime Games, has announced the release of &quot;Shred Nebula&quot; on
Microsoft&#039;s Xbox LIVE Arcade on September 3rd. Goddard, who is also the
Professor of Game Development and program champion at the University of
Advancing Technology (UAT), will be using the game documentation to show
the independent game and educational communities a real-world example of
design and pitching.

Goddard incorporated exclusive portions of &quot;Shred Nebula&#039;s&quot; documentation
within UAT&#039;s gaming curricula over the summer semester.  Positive feedback
garnered from the past semester has prompted Goddard to release the full
version to students in Fall 2008.  Goddard feels this release will help
students understand how the game industry works while offering more of a
hands-on approach to game development.

multimedia tools -- particularly for homework assistance and assessment,
according to &quot;College Publishing Market Forecast 2008-2009,&quot; the latest
report from media industry forecast and analysis firm Simba Information.
Publishers are finding that the appeal of digital tools is sparking
interest in e-textbooks, the report says.

Overall, sales of new college textbooks continue to grow at a steady pace,
despite growth in sales of used textbooks, with sales of new college
textbooks projected to increase almost 4% to $3.6 billion in 2008.

			<description><![CDATA[TAMAQUA, PA--(eMediaWorld - August 21, 2008) -  Students from Tamaqua Area School District
could be doing more than playing video games or surfing the Internet on
their computers in the coming year.  Starting in the fall, the district
will offer online access to classroom content and supplemental materials on
computers and wireless laptops with the introduction of lecture capture
from Echo360.

Located in the coal regions of northeastern Pennsylvania, Tamaqua Area may
seem to be an unlikely candidate to lead the state in the adoption of
lecture capture -- a technology once reserved for colleges and
universities. But as the study habits of K12 students have been adapted to
include computers and the Internet, Tamaqua&#039;s innovative faculty and staff
searched for technologies that reached their student population on their
terms.

			<pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:35:00 EDT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[PHOENIX, AZ--(eMediaWorld - August 19, 2008) -  Despite federal legislation passed in May that
was designed to help the struggling student loan industry, cash-strapped
lenders continue to drop out of the student loan business, leaving families
throughout the country scrambling to find a new student loan provider as
6.7 million undergraduates prepare to head back to school.

On the heels of its decision in April to stop issuing federal student
loans, the Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority -- the largest
student loan issuer to Massachusetts residents -- suspended its private
student loan program on July 28, citing turmoil in the student loan credit
market. Non-federal private student loans accounted for 80 percent
of the $500 million in student loans MEFA issued last year.

			<description><![CDATA[PHOENIX, AZ--(eMediaWorld - August 7, 2008) -  Not only is the weakening U.S. economy creating
challenges for students and parents trying to pay for college this year,
it&#039;s also forcing colleges and universities to find new tactics to maintain
their enrollment numbers and accommodate students&#039; growing need for student loans and other forms of
financial aid.

Amid speculation about the effect of the current economy on the financial
stability of higher education institutions, Moody&#039;s Investors Service, an
international bond-rating company, had issued a stable financial outlook
six months ago for the nation&#039;s colleges and universities. But now, a
recent updated report from Moody&#039;s shows that in the worsening economy,
certain schools could be headed for financial trouble.

veterans&#039; educational benefits to $90,000 from about $40,000.

The new GI Bill, being called &quot;a GI Bill for the 21st century,&quot; is designed
to allow more veterans to cover the full cost of their college education,
making it possible for them to rely less on federal student loans, private
student loans, or other forms of debt to pay for college. The Post-9/11
GI Bill will cover full tuition at the most expensive public college in a
veteran&#039;s home state, grant up to $1,000 for books and supplies, and
provide a monthly living stipend. Veterans with as little as 90 consecutive
days of service may receive partial benefits toward a
