In today’s hyper-competitive learning environment, it never hurts to be ahead of the game when it comes to academics. After all, no matter how much you think you know, or have learned, there is always the potential to absorb more. Perhaps the best way to sum this up is a quote from Geeta Iyengar:

Knowledge has a beginning, but no end.

A world-renowned yoga Instructor, Iyengar emphasized elevating one’s intellectual focus as a means of personal fulfillment in helping her students' lives flourish. Even now, such a momentous mindset is more than enough motivation to propel such focus on schooling. And to facilitate this desired resourcefulness, dual-enrollment has been widely embraced as one of the premier opportunities to enhance a student's elevated intellectual focus. But what about a course-sharing platform that offers dual enrollment?

Enter Acadeum.

An online platform, which gained notoriety for providing higher education institutions a course-sharing hub now offers over 500 college courses through 380 colleges and universities across the country.

Built on a collaborative mindset that more is, well, MORE, Acadeum offers a number of opportunities for students and institutions alike. Whether its degree completion - sooner rather than later, supporting academic initiatives to advance student success or to increase institutional viability and revenue, Acadeum aims to deliver on all of these engagements by way of their course-sharing method, and more. You know, like dual enrollment! Promoted as an alternative to traditional dual enrollment, the company states its course-sharing platform will deliver students the ability to earn college credit while curbing the financial debt plaguing so many college students and graduates today. Most of all, it compliments many students’ busy school schedules by way of virtual classrooms. This on-demand learning approach was a driving factor for BarCharts Publishing to expand the reach for digital versions of their in-demand laminated study guides to online eTextbook providers, such as VitalSource. Such instant availability & accessibility to students’ fingertips, increasing valuable study time, especially for those with online classes intertwining their on-campus courses.

According to Higher Ed Dive, Acadeum’s dual enrollment program will be available to attendees of the K12 Private Academy, an online private college prep, initially with four higher education institutions: 2 private nonprofits - Michigan’s Baker College, and Franklin College located in Ohio, the for-profit Strayer University, and Western Texas University a two-year public institution.
