The Next Sharing Economy: Academic Sharing. Expand course offerings, increase enrollments. The College Consortium helps higher education to better meet student needs by sharing access to online courses. Our technology-driven Academic Sharing Platform (ASP) allows member institutions to seamlessly share courses, credits, and tuition. The system offers an intelligent course recommendation-engine which helps colleges access specific bridge, certification, or degree completion courses for their students. The College Consortium offers this cloud-based technology, along with an expert services team, to help institutions expand their degree programs and access new enrollments and revenue with no upfront investment.
