Incubator.org is an online community platform portal that offers a Safe Space where members can connect, collaborate, and share their experiences and knowledge.

THE APPROACH IS:

TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN ONLINE RESEARCH & INSIGHTS PROVIDED BY DATA

THE REASONS ARE:

• Rapid, dramatic change is the new norm.
• Internet usage on mobile devices now exceeds PC usage.
• Smartphone adoption is growing by leaps and bounds.
• New ways of consuming content are bringing dramatic change.
• The digital revolution is in full-swing.
• Now AI is about to change computing, culture and the course of history.
• These are changes in the way people access knowledge, relate to knowledge and think about themselves.

• Incubator.org is operated by CCLAC, Inc., a digital educational non-profit corporation based in Tucson, Arizona.
• We are a non-profit research organization with digital technology in our DNA and digital research as our specialization.
• CCLAC’s purpose has always been to research innovations in Education, Senior Care, Employment Possibilities and Sustainable Community Building.
• Our way of doing things must be as fast-moving, dynamic and ever-changing as is today’s consumer-centric tech-world.
• We believe that if you want to reach people and engage and communicate with them in new, more relevant ways leading to greater insights and understandings, it is good sense to take a look at what is working for them in their everyday lives and bring that into research applications.

• This platform includes a LMS (Learning Management System) which is used for production and delivering of training/education content, and automates the management, tracking, and reporting of training/education records for teachers and administrators.
• With the integration of Incubator.org’s DATA STUDIO solution, this functionality collectively comprises an Educational Data System (EDS). The EDS bridges data sources consisting of input from survey forms, polls, discussions, and other User Generated Content, which is stored in relational and non-relational database(s).
• The platform has built in tools that provide access to functional analytics; centralized analytics; consulting analytics; analytics center of excellence; federated analytics; and decentralized analytics;
• as well as administrative documentation and all necessary operational and educational information gathering and dissemination, into a methodology for ‘Data Warehousing’ with ‘Data Mining’ of data collected to extend BI (Business Intelligence) into BPA (Business Process Automation), with Electronic Documentation Management and BPM (Business Performance Management) capabilities accessed through an Internet delivery strategy.

Expected Results of System:

• In practice, the Innovations in Educational Technology utilized in the Incubator.org platform applies to the use of technology to improve or enhance teaching, training, and autodidactic learning.
• Areas of research include online courses, their uses and access, along with a continuing interest in the use of multimedia for the enhancement of instruction and the development of instruction focusing on the use of applying entertainment video to effectively teach subjects.
• Areas of interest also extend to using downloadable electronic forms of textbooks, the use of the Internet and World Wide Web for distance learning, and the application of technology to TESOL, and Assistive Technologies.
