Wow, a $200 million evaluation! I guess they weren't satisfied with 20% of Credly, they had to buy them out!

"The purchase price for Credly, including Pearson’s existing stake, represents a total value of $200m, which will be funded from Pearson’s existing cash and available liquidity."

Hopefully they'll just operate it as a wholly owned subsidiary and change nothing.

Hopefully.

Hopefully.

The Pearson announcement says they will, for now, but the Credly announcement seems to imply that it won't last long: https://learn.credly.com/blog/announcing...by-pearson

Well that sucks. Yup I said it.

I guess it's a good thing that you can get a transcript from Sophia through Parchment. Hopefully other ACE providers offer the same.

Well I hope they improve it. As in a real improvement, not trying improvements that cause us problems.
