COMMUNITY FORUM INSIGHTS
Students use our online “meeting place” to engage with others to debate, share knowledge and communicate with others about a wide range of topics they are interested in discussing. As it relates to overall user experience, our forum is a type of self-service support where customers can find a resolution to their problems. As they say, the best number of contacts is zero. Customers want to solve questions themselves.
"Self-service usage is fast rising—increasing from 67% to 76%. Unfortunately, only 52.4% of customers find the information that they need on an online community forum." [Referenced Quote: Forrester]

Employers
Claim to Value Alternative Credentials. Do Their Practices Match
Their Promises?
There’s
plenty of interest among workforce experts about the potential of
alternative credentials—like certificates, badges and
apprenticeships—to help more people find better jobs without
necessarily having to go to college.
But in order for that to actually work, employers have to value those credentials. Many company leaders say that they do, as part of their efforts to reward skills, not just degrees. And some employers even issue their own credentials, like IBM and Google.
Yet all that rhetoric hinges on the moment when a resume lands on the desk of a hiring manager. How will he or she react to an application that has an alternative credential instead of a college degree? And what’s to say such a resume will even end up in the consideration pile?
New research published this week by the Society for Human Resource Management aims to address those questions. The survey and the experiment’s findings show that even though executives say they support alternative credentials, the practices and attitudes of mid-level managers and HR professionals do not always value these upstart certifications.
