Company History
LearnStream operated between 1998 and 2005 as an eLearning development company based in Fredericton New Brunswick.
Before it was sold in 2005, the company employed as many as 150 staff, including instructional designers, programmers, multimedia and web developers. With a customer base primarily in the US, Canada and in Europe, LearnStream set up a subsidiary firm based in Washington DC to handle US corporate sales.
After selling the company, founder Ken Reimer has independently taken on various eLearning projects for major Canadian and US corporations, and is now Director of the Centre for Enhanced Teaching and Learning (CETL) at the University of New Brunswick.
