BELLEVUE, WA, June 27,
2002— Click2learn (Nasdaq: CLKS) today announced that
it has formed a go-to-market alliance with GeneEd, the leading provider
of e-learning content focused on life sciences.
Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly
develop and market Web-based learning solutions to the healthcare

infrastructure of Click2learn's Aspen Learning Platform with GeneEd's
unique learning content.
"There is a critical need within pharmaceutical

act upon it quickly," said Kevin Oakes, Click2learn chairman
and CEO. "Our alliance with GeneEd uniquely positions us to
serve this highly specialized industry. GeneEd's top-notch content
partnered with the power of Aspen technology will help these companies
