Sagence Learning

Sagence Learning, Inc, previously part of Flat World, was formed to focus exclusively on providing leading-edge competency-based education technology and services to colleges and universities.

As the economy and demands of the job market continue to evolve, all students need flexible, affordable options to help them acquire new, relevant skills and earn credentials and degrees. Sagence helps its partners meet these needs by providing a comprehensive technology platform and services specifically designed for competency-based education (CBE), a student-centered model that enables people to acquire and demonstrate mastery of needed knowledge and skills regardless of place, time, or pace. From full direct assessment programs that comprehensively and holistically measure student progress and provide evidence-based data that support financial aid, to delivery of flexible, self-paced learning within the traditional credit hour structure, Sagence helps each of its partners align a CBE model to its unique strengths and create, deliver, and manage successful programs.

Sagence Learning is led by education and technology veterans and backed by BDMI and Bessemer Venture Partners, among others. Its partners include industry innovators such as Brandman University, Laureate University, Peirce College, AT Still University, SUNY Empire State and others.

The service is modeled after the in-classroom experience and proctors monitor the entire process in order to ensure that a high level of integrity is maintained. ProctorU offers live, person-to-person, real time monitoring to over 800 colleges, universities and certification organizations, including the University of Alabama, the University of Florida, Northwestern University and the Bloomberg Institute.

VoiceThread

Stunningly simple and accessible, VoiceThread is the future of meaningful communication in a time-shifted world. This cloud-based application brings your media and people’s audio, video, and text commentary together in one online space. The results are highly interactive and engaging conversations that are secure, easy to create, and even easier to participate in. We believe that a stronger human presence in any course will help all types of learners, but achieving this can be a challenge. VoiceThread is the solution. It improves instructor immediacy and social presence in courses while maintaining the flexibility of an asynchronous learning environment. Professors report an improvement in the quality of work that students submit and increased engagement with the coursework when they use VoiceThread. Hearing student voices and seeing their faces helps with comprehension assessment and building social connections. Learning should be personal, interactive, and warm. VoiceThread makes this a reality for any course.
