Sibling Group Holdings, an educational
technology company, announced this morning that its subsidiary, Urban Planet
Mobile™ (UPM), has deepened its strategic partnership with Imagine Easy
Solutions, an industry leader in online learning solutions and creator of
EasyBib.com, the largest citation and research website in the world. UPM’s
CODiE Award-nominated Writing Planet™ writing assessment solution is now
offered via EasyBib.com and Imagine Easy’s three other citation and research
websites. These sites collectively reach more than 80 million students every
year.
In November 2014, a service called
EssayCheck™, powered by Writing Planet™, was piloted via EasyBib.com
CitationMachine.net, and Bibme.com. Within the first two weeks of the launch,
over 60,000 students submitted their essays through the EssayCheck feature to
receive immediate and accurate feedback on their written work.
As a result of this high level of
engagement and demand for writing assessment, EssayCheck was recently launched
as a part of Imagine Easy Solutions’ CiteThisForMe.com, which is the largest
citation services website in the United Kingdom and Australia with rapidly
growing subscribership both in the U.S. and internationally.
Writing Planet is the only web-based
writing solution that includes both accurate and instant writing assessment
plus video lessons and exercises designed for English Language Learners to help
students improve their writing skills. Writing Planet has been used by students
in fifteen countries around the world, and at English as Second Language (ESL)
programs and universities here in the United States including Duke University,
the University of South Carolina, and Michigan State University.
“EssayCheck has certainly added value to
EasyBib and all of our citation websites,” said Neal Taparia, Co-Founder and
CEO of Imagine Easy Solutions. “Our vision is to create a suite of services
that increase student productivity and engagement in learning. EssayCheck
provides immediate scores and feedback to students looking to improve their
writing, which is part of what we are all about. We are thrilled to be working
with Urban Planet Mobile to expand our footprint here in the United States and
around the world.”
Partnering with EasyBib and
CiteThisForMe is a significant development for Sibling Group Holdings as an
additional and growing revenue source for Writing Planet, offering writing
assessment through a means that opens access to all students and providing a
premium subscription service to those interested in enhanced features. With the
recent strategic investment in Sibling Group coming from a Chinese partner,
there is an opportunity to grow Imagine Easy citation services coupled with
UPM’s EssayCheck in the international market, especially in strategic markets
such as China.
“We see the education landscape shifting
from a knowledge based system to a skills-based system,” said Brian
OliverSmith, Sibling Group CEO and Urban Planet Mobile Co-founder. “In this
skills-based system, students need tools and solutions that help them develop
skills to succeed both academically and professionally. We are proud to partner
with Imagine Easy, a leader in the online learning space and a company which
shares our vision of building 21st Century Skills and creating more open access
to learning for all students.”
