Based out
of Austin, Sibling Group Holdings is an educational technology holding company
focused on the space of e-learning. IBIS Capital forecasts 15-fold growth in
this market over the next decade. And increasing numbers of school districts
are adopting online and blended learning as ways to enhance student education.
Acting on its corporate mission, Sibling Group has been assembling a line of
strategic alliances and acquisitions to deliver online curriculum solutions for
the K-12 marketplace.
Earlier
this year, Sibling Group acquired Blended Schools Network (BSN), which
currently supports 160 school districts. BSN has an extensive content library
consisting of 212 courses, over 15,000 lessons, and more than 12,000 videos.
BSN also enjoys a wide user base, as it had more than 300,000 course
enrollments last year. Sibling Group has been extending the reach of BSN
through strategic partnerships, like the one formed with LoudCloud Systems in
mid-October. This partnership paved the way for BSN content to be featured on
the LoudCloud learning management system.
Of course,
teacher professional development is critical for effective student learning.
Sibling Group has also been working to strengthen the education landscape in
this regard. In mid-September, the company announced BSN’s professional teacher
development courses had been made available on Udemy, a leading global
marketplace for learning and teaching online. BSN’s collaboration with Udemy
extended the accessibility of BSN’s teacher professional development solutions.
Earlier
this month, Sibling Group announced BSN had partnered with BloomBoard, Inc.
This development extended its reach to teachers as a provider of online teacher
professional development resources. To date, BSN’s professional development
courses have been of service to more than 30,000 teachers nationwide, and more
than 500 hours of content are available. For ensuring educator expertise, all
of BSN’s professional development courses are aligned with iNACOL pathways.
At
present, Sibling Group is exploring prospects for acquisition with another
company. Recently Sibling announced it is in talks with Urban Planet Media
& Entertainment Corp. Urban Planet Media & Entertainment is a five-time
global-award-winning private mobile media company focused on creating content
and solutions in education, healthcare, and literacy. It also operates the
Urban Planet Mobile™ education software platform.
As the
education landscape continues to evolve, Sibling Group, via wholly owned
subsidiary BSN, has committed itself to this movement. On top of benchmark
quality online curriculum, Sibling Group is helping to foster excellence in
education through its complete hosted course authoring tools, professional development
for teachers, and a learning management system environment.
