TORONTO, ON, September 08, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- IBlüm gets listed on THE OCMX™
What if everyone had a personal coach for whatever they wanted to learn? That's the idea behind iBlüm. From early years education to executive training, we take an expert's competency and curriculum and scale it to an unlimited number of users. We do this by personalizing learning content to every individual's needs and strengths in order to achieve better learning outcomes.
The OCMX™ is pleased to announce the listing of IBlüm to its online portal which offers financial networks the ability to learn more about this exciting opportunity.
The OCMX™ has spent considerable time completing its due diligence on IBlüm and concluded that there is indeed a tremendous potential for this company.
The OCMX™ noted that IBlüm exhibits the main components of any solid opportunity, namely a solid management team, a great track record, and several key competitive advantages.
PROBLEM THEY ARE SOLVING
Today, if you are an educator, may it be in a preschool room or corporate training, your class might have 15 or 24 students, all with varying levels of readiness compared to a defined competency framework or curriculum. It is impossible to see and assess the knowledge and skill mastery of each and every student, with iBlüm, this is no longer the case.
iBlüm's proprietary algorithms surface insights into each learner's development and rolls these up into cohort-based insights that the educator can use to get the most developmental impact from their learning plans, removing the educator's blind spot.
WHERE THEY ARE HEADED
At the heart of iBlüm's transformational learning platform is their unique, AI-powered Personal Learning Engine (PLE), which makes learning more individual, collaborative, measurable and, ultimately, accessible – to all. The iBlüm opportunity is huge with their initial early years solution alone representing a $2.5 billion addressable market.
Their goal is to deliver the iBlüm 1:1 learning model to 100 million users and attract 1 million creators to personalize their content in 10 years. They will start with the early childhood education market with our Early Years solution. They intend to keep these learners that are onboarded at this age for life and also attract their family and friends.
