iSPY is so much more than a deep
search engine for education.

iSPY is an intuitive, AI-driven SaaS platform where you are able to search across the world’s best education platforms, and where you also get your own personalized workspace with collaboration tools. This means, that in addition finding the best educational opportunities, you can set up and manage all your school programs and projects in one place — and have a place where you can share your projects or program selections with your team. Cool, right?

All you have to do is set up a profile. By doing so, you will tap into the power of iSPY Education where you can opt in to our match-making services and take advantage of all the workspace tools including projects and lockers.

By creating a new school project, you are creating a collaboration space for you and your team. You can tie this to a particular school or to a specific class or program. Within each project you can create document lockers where you are able to upload school information and program descriptions. You could even upload and maintain a record of completed classes, grades and transcripts. Lockers are also used to store the programs that you find and are interested in. No need to search again. Just pin them to your locker for easy access.

Oh, and did we tell you that you and your team can comment on and like any program you have saved in your locker? And if you have questions on any program, you can just reach out to the provider within the system.

That’s right. Search, compare, collaborate and communicate — all in one place.  And breath a little easier.

In the time of COVID-19

In the time of COVID-19

Who would have thought that we would have a global pandemic in 2020! Sheltering in place, masks, hand sanitizers, remote work and school from home.

What a year!

Can you imagine if the pandemic had hit before the internet? Thank goodness for tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meets, Discord, What’s App, and Signal. Technology has truly helped to connect people who could not otherwise be together.

We are now 17 months into this global pandemic. While we are all hoping to get back to normal, the Delta variant may have other plans. Regardless of what happens, education has been transformed forever. 

While there had been a move to more online programming, it was growing at a slower, steady pace. The pandemic threw gasoline on the fire. While it was a bumpy transition for many, schools built online programs using tools like Zoom and Discord to deliver education to our kids. The number of education platforms has grown quickly. And now, 75% of  schools say they plan to operate online, at least in some capacity.

This shift, however, has shined a bright light on a couple of very important issues facing education.

  • The first is the high cost of education and how digital technologies
    can bring those costs down.This is at a time when young people
    were already questioning the cost of education.
  • The second is that online programming can offer an exceptional
    opportunity     for students and parents seeking the highest quality education,
    regardless or borders and boundaries.
  • The third is the inequity in education and the digital divide. Studies show
    that upwards of 33% of students have limited access to digital tools
    or broadband, or both.

If, as a student, you had access to digital tools and broadband during the pandemic, you were probably ok. At least, you were starting with a solid foundation. For children who did not have access to digital tools, they had greater difficulty and many fell far behind.

Post pandemic, most experts believe that we will continue to have a hybrid education environment from kindergarten on up. Education choice will become more important to individual parents and students. Ensuring that students and learners can get access to the education they want and need will become a critical driver in the future, and for an affordable cost.

iSPY Education is a powerful tool that will help make education accessible to all. 

iSPYEd is an AI drive, intuitive SaaS platform that allows the user to search across education platforms and make sense of the massive number of online education programs available. Do a search on 6th grade math. On Google, you will see over 180 million results.

Why are there no aggregators currently?

  • The task is complex
  • Supply is not sufficiently modularized
  • Success requires significant effort from the user

iSPY Education addresses each of these difficulties using a combination of  advanced technologies and human resources. iSPY Education will simplify the complexity and make the process more user friendly. Stay tuned for more information!
