LearningMate, a leading education technology company, today announced that Broward College has selected LearningMate to assist in the design, development, and digital transformation of their courses and learning assets as they transition more programs to online learning. Located in South Florida, Broward College is an Aspen Institute top-ranked public college offering certificates, associate, and bachelor’s degrees in 74 areas of study. This ambitious project was made possible in part through funding the institution received through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act – a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 116th U.S. Congress and signed into law earlier this year.
