Elspeth Briscoe's current jobs
There’s a clear issue with online education. The benchmark with online learning is an 80% drop out rate (KPMG, Forbes). Such a dramatic fallout rate wouldn’t be acceptable in any other industry. This is due to online learning being demotivating and isolating, requiring significant self-motivation to stay on track. The reason for the high drop-out rate is lack of engagement, motivation, interaction and enjoyment. At Learning with experts, we’re bucking the trend with an 80% completion rate and 87% OFQUAL exam pass rates (better than IRL colleges!). This is due to us prioritising human interaction, using the Internet for what it’s good for, building strong communities of like minded passionate individuals who work together to be the best they can be. Our users love learning with us, trust , and have highly engaging learning experiences. Our well known tutors are being supported by AI to ensure we scale to millions.
