Subject Matter - Expert Knowledge Networks

A Private Expert Knowledge Network Platform for Higher Education, K12 and Training Organizations

A first of its kind platform - SubjectMatter connects individuals with the resources they need when they need them. Through on-demand, scheduled and real-time interactions using audio, video, private messaging and text. When ever they want, where ever they are, on the devices they use everyday. For Higher Education, SubjectMatter is a SaaS solution that is designed to increase student retention, graduation, and job placement rates by virtualizing the connections between the people within an academic institution and facilitating online face-to-face meetings. Higher education regulatory policies mandate that online students receive support and academic services equitable to those provided to students taking on campus courses. SubjectMatter's platform directly meets or exceeds this requirement by supporting student equity, access and inclusion allowing academic institutions to virtualize their institutionally based experts by 'replicating the in-office experience online'​, as well as supporting complex scheduling for on-ground individuals.​ The platform facilitates personal and meaningful interactions between students and the institutional expert resources they need in order to succeed (e.g., admissions, registration, advisors, tutors, professors, TA’s, mentors, career services, alumni ), when they need them, through on-demand and scheduled interactions, all inside of a private 'expert knowledge' network that is controlled by the academic institution. Education service organizations use SubjectMatter as a dynamic service platform to deliver various business models around expert people networks aligned to student needs, including virtual tutoring, coaching, mentoring, education literacy and other student services. SubjectMatter's strategy is aligned to the significant global growth of online learning services and the organizational need to continue to decrease costs while scaling access to critical human resources, in many ways creating a virtual academic environment whereby students get instant access to the resources they need when they need them. The company has built go to market partner relationships with several education enterprise companies, leveraging pre-existing relationships. SubjectMatter’s mission is provide institutions with the ability to meet online student equity, access and inclusion, regardless of location, through advanced ADA and FERPA compliant technology coupled with strategically thoughtful services. Connecting local student and academic support services, advising and counseling individuals, to on-line students, to facilitate private conversations for student success, meets a key accreditation requirement for many institutions.
