Our Difference

Our passion and purpose is to keep enriching the human learning experience. That’s genuinely why we chose this field decades ago.

WHY the market needs our technology:

• 78% of learners want more responsive personalized learning experiences (LinkedIn 2020). Global learning landscape research (HolonIQ) validates this.

As does our real-world instructional experience. That’s over 50,000+ learners over 20+ years.

When learners come into our live workshops, they expect SME advice that is relevant to their immediate needs and long term career skills development.

We ask them "What are you hoping to get out of our time in today's session?" and then adapt the learning plan to ensure most relevancy and service to our learners for the time we have. Our purpose is to provide them an effective learning experience that adds measurable value for their individual real-world needs.

Our technology is translating successful aspects of live instruction into services that learners can use to better personalize their asynchronous learning time. Why? Because we care deeply that people can develop skills in a respectful, productive, effective and meaningful way. That’s what we mean by enriching the human learning experience.

ECAS = Education Content Augment Services

Have you ever added a third-party app, widget, or premium feature to a program to make it function more in line with how you need it to? Micro-integrations allow the software to offer expanded functionality without a user having to switch out of their favorite environment. And it makes business sense for software providers to incorporate third-party functionality into their UX. Saves them R&D, adds to their revenue streams via licensing, helps retain clients, and adds an advantage in competitive markets.

Our education content augment services are being developed to boost the functionality of education content systems via microservices that can API in. Our focus is to boost professional skills development, in specific domains such as project management, leadership, communication, collaboration, and self-management skills development that research shows is essential to millions of workforce learners.

Our first services address an immediate issue. One of THE biggest frustrations for today’s workforce learners is that they want relevant content for their contextual needs.

SmartSuite 1 will generate relevant learning maps that reduce the “skip-skip-skip”, self-curation time, and empty content experiences.

Our POC1 proved a 200% relevancy increase. We took our concept from the design table to the first proof of our tagging logic, then created a POC1 GUI and algorithm that statistically proved an increase in content relevancy by >200%.

Think of our first suite of services as a blend of Google Maps meets media playlisting, but for workforce e-learning. After a learner selects preferences, our service generates a responsive learning map that the learner can click through to their personalized learning playlist. This playlist is a set of lesson coordinates aligned to the skills and learning preferences, time constraints, and specific solvers the professional has indicated they need for that session.

So, instead of spending 60 minutes skipping through lessons they already know, and self-curating through a professional skills workshop, (or often just pressing play and walking away to complete a lesson), a learner can use our service to generate an on-demand lesson map calibrated specifically for them.

If they only have 30 min to learn, this map prioritizes skills development they can achieve in 30 minutes - based on the specific context they’ve identified at the start of the session.

Our tagging intelligence is deeper than Boolean search or playlist relevancies. Our tagging intelligence incorporates a skills+domains mapping logic, quality SME experience input, future-facing skills research, adult learning principles, applied neuroscience, and calibrates it to specific parsed and tagged learning coordinates in the learning system.

On the backend, when an education content provider (our customer), chooses to license our services, our technology will be able to analyze and index internal organizational learning content, specific to professional domains we service, tag and parse content coordinates, and with our tagging intelligence, forecast, prepare, and return THE most relevant content for their customer’s learners.

Future development plans expand into highly-responsive and adaptive SMART Learning and Comprehension paths. Much like how Google Maps allows a traveler to choose starting points, ways of traveling, and routes, our SMART Suites 2 and 3 will allow learners far more precision over their learning journey.

Even though there are many types of ed-content providers we could provide services to, a $1T overall market, we chose LMS’s to start, because we know we can help them adapt to the more immediate demands of our global learning landscape (GLL).

The LMS market has rapidly exploded with competition in recent years. And the GLL has complexified greatly. It’s been compared to the Wild West, with over 900+ active LMS’s currently servicing hundreds of millions of learners, in various ecosystems.

So, instead of us trying to be everything to everyone, providing broad services to a wide market, we chose to hyper-focus on servicing education content providers in the workforce and skills arena of the GLL, of which there are 250+ LMS’s we’ve identified as potential customers.

Many providers deliver broad services to a wide audience, and often in legacy design approaches. Although the trends are towards re-architecting existing systems to more distributed and micro-service structures, creating new functionality into those systems is time-consuming, expensive and represents risks to UX, profitability and market share.

By licensing micro and distributed services, an LMS can create additional revenue streams and offer premium functionality without the development time and expense. This helps them stay competitive while strengthening their relationships with organizations that need quality professional skills development.

LMSs can focus on what they do best, while we stay focused on what we do best.

Remember that $1T market? IF LMS’s were to pass on this profitable licensing opportunity, we would move our timeline forward with our GTM expanded customer base, which includes:

HRMs, Ed-Content providers (Audio-books, E-book platforms), CRMs (Hubspot), Communication providers (e.g. Zoom), and direct-to organizations.

Our technology incorporates the how and why and WHERE people learn. We’re designing our services to leverage and support the current trends of where learners are going to learn. According to HolonIQ 2022 Q1 report on the GLL, workforce and academic audiences are rapidly migrating to omnichannel forms of learning + micro-accreditation cross-platform functionality.

By creating ECAS suites, we allow our company the benefit of strategic flexibility, responding to market and learner needs, and with an ability to plug into the ever growing range of complimentary platforms.
