Sibling Group Holdings, Inc. (SIBE) at the Forefront of Helping Educators Deploy Truly 21st Century, Skills-Based Educational Solutions

Sibling Group is helping to change the face of education, bringing the best digital curricula and online capabilities to the table, assisting educators with the difficult task of implementing effective personalized learning solutions, while also helping educators themselves up their game and stay organized. Via the company’s Blended Schools Network (BSN) and Urban Planet Mobile™ (UPM) subsidiaries, SIBE delivers not only the most thorough and sophisticated online K-12 course authoring tools and existing course libraries available today, but a comprehensive online LMS (learning management system) as well, which is designed to bridge both languages and devices.

More and more school districts are turning to the company’s Common Core and iNACOL (International Association for K-12 Online Learning) aligned BSN platform to improve student engagement with customized curricula, including classes centered around the individual student. Such classes feature automated video lessons, lab activities and even assessments that are structured formatively, rather than being summative, ultimately creating a much more consistent and natural feedback system. The support services offered by the company are second to none as well, with the recent BSN partnership with Lammersville Unified School District member, Mountain House High School, which serves California’s San Joaquin County and Alameda counties, representing the latest example of how BSN helps educators realize the power of personalized learning. By delivering the kind of robust onsite and online training needed to successfully create modular, content-rich, and comprehensive curriculum solutions, SIBE demonstrated through the Mountain House partnership precisely what all the buzz is about when it comes to the company’s extremely thorough supports services for their BSN platform.

This important collaborative effort with Mountain House High School also secured crucial high school A-G course certification, meaning BSN now has unfettered access to the massive K-12 market in California consisting of over 6.2 million students. The BSN platform provides the kind of flexibility needed to accommodate the state’s incredible economical and racial diversity as well, with the ability to deliver education pathways that surmount these otherwise challenging factors. And the benefits to BSN-driven curriculum, which is already in use across 160 U.S. School Districts, don’t stop at the school’s doors either. A fact readily evinced in the Mountain House case, where the platform was instrumental in helping faculty dialogue with student’s parents about the advantages and changes involved in migrating to the digital frontier of personalized learning.

The ongoing shift in education from a knowledge-based to a skills-based system is further enabled by solutions like UPM’s writing assessment platform Writing Planet™, which was nominated for the Software and Information Industry Association’s prestigious CODiE Award and recently led to an enhanced strategic partnership with Imagine Easy Solutions, the developer of the world’s biggest citation and research website in the world, Easybib.com. Writing Planet’s new EssayCheck™ service has been incredibly successful since its debut late last year in November, subsequent to the launch through another Imagine Easy Solutions site, called CiteThisForMe.com, which is the largest citation service website in Australia and the UK, and which is growing in popularity in the U.S. and globally.

The only web-based writing platform designed to provide instant and accurate assessment of a piece of writing which specifically caters to ESL (English as Second Language) students, providing exercises and video lessons to help them along, Writing Planet is gaining ground as the premier online writing assessment solution in the education market today. Already in use within the ESL programs at such high-profile U.S. education institutions as Duke University and the University of South Carolina, Writing Planet provides the kinds of tools and solutions students need to develop academic and professional skills that will help them throughout all of their lives.

And because Sibling Group’s UPM platform solutions are also in use in 15 countries around the world, where they are gaining traction due to having been designed for multi-language support from the ground up, the combined EssayCheck plus Imagine Easy citation services offering stands to prosper considerably on the international scene, particularly in areas like China’s highly sought after education market. This is especially true given the recent $3.75 million strategic funding injection from international education management and consulting company, Shenzhen City Qianhai Xinshi Education Management (Shenzhen Times), which gives UPM a strong foothold in the Chinese market, as well as a more agile footing when it comes to gaining additional market share internationally and really evolving into a key player on the global education landscape.

The company really is ahead of the curve when it comes to the rapidly changing education market and is armed with all the tools needed for educators to transform their learning pathways into truly 21st century, skills-based, and online-accessible deployments. As various mobile and digital platforms like smartphones and tablets continue to proliferate, the trend towards digital learning online will only increase and investors should be aware of players like Sibling Group Holdings, who are poised to capture much of the market share as this trend continues.
