Develop Introduces Smart Learning: Intelligent Course Recommendations

Develop launched Course Completion Certificates earlier this year and they are issued to learners at the end of every single course offered in the skills training platform.

Fremont, CA: Develop, an online learning platform that offers on-demand courses for IT and business professionals, has introduced next course recommendations at the end of completed courses as part of their personalized learning path they've dubbed "Smart Learning".

Next course recommendations, as part of Smart Learning, will follow learning paths that guide learners from the introduction of new skills to those course completion certificates, and let them branch off to related topics. In future steps, the recommendations will become more intelligent. This intelligence would help users avoid spending time grinding through courses for skills that they already have and will launch new courses to gain skills that might be related to or complement the original skill.

"We envision a future where learning is as smart as you are, and this is the first step to getting to desired skill level destinations more quickly and efficiently," stated Develop Head of Content, John McKeever. "One thing that we've heard repeatedly from learners is that the old style of online learning just won't cut it anymore, and with our experience in the space, it is something that our team has been thinking about for a while."

Develop launched Course Completion Certificates earlier this year and they are issued to learners at the end of every single course offered in the skills training platform. With the addition of next course suggestions as part of Develop's initial Smart Learning capabilities, the new feature allows learners to easily progress through courses and stay on track to grow their skills in areas of interest.
