Sibling Group Holdings focuses on providing services and technology in the field of education. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blended Schools Network (BSN), the company:
• provides high-quality virtual curriculum for the K-12 levels;
• hosts course authoring tools;
• offers professional development for educators; and
• maintains a learning management system (LMS).
Over the years, BSN has seen a growing demand for certain online courses that school districts previously struggled to offer because of low enrollment. This past year, BSN had more than 300,000 enrollments and, consequently, it expanded its product offerings to accommodate not only a traditional regional focus but also national and international interest as well. BSN’s content library has now grown from 192 to 212 courses and from 15,000 lessons and 12,000 videos.
Since its establishment, Sibling has often teamed up with various organizations to market and sell BSN’s content to a wider audience. In recent months, Sibling’s Blended Schools Network joined forces with LoudCloud to bring virtual, blended and competency-based learning solutions to more K-12 students. The groups have also worked together to install BSN’s content on LoudCloud’s learning management system.
LoudCloud is a behavioral, analytics-based teaching and learning environment designed to deliver customized paths in education and to offer innovations in collaborative, digital readers and task centricity. The core framework, rooted in re-imagined LMS technology, simplifies course and content authoring and uses proprietary algorithms to inform and guide course progress through recommendations.
BSN is working closely with LoudCloud to ensure that its customers can access its content on LoudCloud’s LMS platform and that students can benefit from this new technology. BSN’s school district clients are seeking the best combined educational solutions and often want easy access to high-quality content. The BSN-LoudCloud integration provides them with another great content source to enhance their performance in the present and in the future. The two groups have already begun reaching out to school districts across the country and are looking at ways to focus on the LoudCloud competency-based learning platform.
