SAN FRANCISCO - November 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Woolf, a global collegiate university, today announced the launch of Airlock, the first API to provide academic accreditation to higher education organizations and bootcamps around the world with online programs.

Airlock allows organizations to connect to Woolf by API to have their learning content benchmarked for accreditation value and matched to an accreditation license. Airlock combines an API with novel technologies for measuring student learning (U.S. patent pending) to create a complete picture of each student's learning experience. Woolf's core accreditation engine matches these experiences with regulated accreditation requirements to determine whether students can be issued with credits.

Woolf's core software platform, the Accreditation Management System (AMS), is designed to demonstrate the academic rigor required for accreditation. It encodes regulatory requirements defined by governments and accreditation bodies that work with Woolf, and it demonstrates when qualified programs meet those standards and whether students have earned their academic credits.

"Our mission is to increase access to world-class higher education and ensure that it is globally recognized and transferable," said CEO and founder Dr. Joshua Broggi. "Airlock is a significant advance in accreditation technology, making it possible for regulators to understand how students are actually learning across the web."

Woolf is the only global collegiate university that allows qualified organizations to join as member colleges and offer accredited degrees. Organizations that connect with Woolf become members of the Woolf collegiate system, which is modeled on collegiate systems like the University of London or the University of California.

Scaler Neovarsity, a constituent college of Woolf uses Airlock to manage accreditation for graduate degrees in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. "Airlock allows our students to use the Scaler learning environment, which has been custom-built to support advanced students in computer science. At the same time, it produces a record of all student learning for regulators, demonstrating our high standards and commitment to quality," said Scaler co-founder Abhimanyu Saxena.

Woolf has member colleges across five continents, where students earn stackable credits which can be converted to government-recognized degrees. Degrees from Woolf are issued with European ECTS credits that are recognized by more than 50 countries. Woolf has also been independently evaluated by ECE and FIS to be "equivalent of U.S. regional academic accreditation," and Woolf degrees have been evaluated to be equivalent to those from "a regionally accredited institution."

About Woolf: Woolf University is the first global collegiate university that allows qualified education organizations to join as member colleges and offer accredited degrees. Its mission is to increase access to world-class higher education and ensure that it is globally recognized and transferable. All of Woolf's member colleges connect with Woolf's software platform, which makes it easy to track compliance with accreditation standards and report relevant information to regulators.

Employees are seeking meaningful work more than ever. Jostle created a simple framework for helping employees be successful, which means they will stick around and contribute more.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - November 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Jostle's employee success platform has helped over one thousand companies create a culture of success. Drawing on this experience, Jostle has created a simple employee success framework. It identifies three key ingredients that deliver employee success: engagement, enablement, and celebration.

Engagement is about people believing in what they do and wanting to contribute. Enablement removes roadblocks and confusion, so it's easy to contribute. Celebration is about recognizing accomplishments. When an employee experiences all three ingredients—engagement, enablement, and celebration—they feel successful and know their work matters.

"Jostle helps companies understand and power employee success," says CEO and founder Brad Palmer. Jostle's platform makes it easy to help employees understand what's important, get the information and help they need, and be recognized each step of the way.

"For decades, companies have focused on engagement. That's not enough. People get all fired up, only to immediately run into confusion and roadblocks. That's frustrating and leads to active disengagement," explains Palmer. Jostle makes it easy to enable employees with the clarity, information, and help they need.

Turning recognition into a company-wide celebration creates connection and a powerful sense of shared accomplishment. Done right, this reinforces company values. "The ability to connect Shout-Outs with our organizational values reinforces those values in a way that I don't think would have been possible without the Jostle platform," observes Clinton Milroy, Director of Brand, Communications, and Digital at the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership.

"Celebrating success energizes the entire organization. Everyone is inspired to stick around and contribute more. Everyone loves success," says Don Bell, Jostle's Chairperson and Co-founder of WestJet.
