Asset Affinities

Imagine if there were a way to connect learners to people and resources in their learning environments and to help map a landscape of opportunity. The Asset Affinities app performs a learner talent audit by scanning a student’s portfolio and assessment history. Following the audit, its automated interview bot periodically prompts the student to describe highlights of their learning history, goals and aspirations. The Asset Affinity app synthesizes this information and matches the learner with opportunities and resources in their school or in the broader community.
