American Society of Civil Engineers Selects Scitent to Grow International Online Course Business

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA--(Marketwired - May 16, 2017) - The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the nation's oldest national engineering society, has selected Scitent, Inc., a full-service eLearning company, to grow its eLearning business internationally. ASCE just launched a series of new, premium guided online courses (GOCs), which provide in-depth learning on leading-edge civil engineering topics led by subject matter experts.

Utilizing PROPEL, ASCE will be able to drive its premium courses into new markets, develop new distribution channels, and accelerate sales through organizational purchases, affiliates and resellers around the globe.

"Using our PROPEL technology, engineering firms, associations and other channel partners can more easily order and distribute ASCE premium courses to learners."

In addition to distribution technology, Scitent will provide its eLearning business support services, including sales and marketing, eLearning customer support, project management and financial services and reporting.
