Desire2Learn Acquires Knowillage Systems, Inc.
Press Release,
Sept 10, 2013
This is interesting. D2L has acquired "Knowillage Systems, Inc., the creator of an adaptive learning engine - LeaP - that improves grades by helping educators address the personal learning needs of every student. Knowillage LeaP uses language processing and analytics to determine gaps in a learner's skill set and then provides the right tools, content, and techniques to address those areas of weakness." Of course, if the engine can do that, then it stands to reason that an employer wouldn't need to rely on test results to determine competency. Neither too would educational institutions. Which in turn undermines the need to academic credentials at all.
