2. Our goal: building
learning environments
that help students
become professionals

3. The perils of online learning

Online learning resources have
become vast and overwhelming

High failure rate among online
learners

Students tend to under-estimate the
effort needed for online learning
44%44% 56%

4. A machine learning model
that helps you identify
students that need
assistance.
Powered by IBM DB2

5. Built on cutting-edge cloud technology
Leveraging high
quality data
Built using records from
over 30 000 students
Integrating the
stability of the IBM
DB2 database
Our model achieves
over 70% accuracy
The IBM DB2 database
allows us to easily build our
model in the cloud
We can easily iterate
and improve the
performance of our
model
