    Woolf

    Online infrastructure for the future of higher education

    Summary

    Woolf is a technology company building infrastructure for the future of higher


    education. We provide our member colleges with 'university as a service',
    including accreditation, software systems, and other support benefits.

    Colleges join Woolf as independent members within a shared framework for


    quality assurance; they maintain the right to admit their own faculty and
    students, set prices over their courses, and create new programs.

    The accreditation problem

    Accreditation is hard and complicated but it is central to success in the $2tn


    higher education market. Most small colleges lack the time and staff to obtain
    accreditation, and they lack the resources to maintain their accreditation on an
    ongoing basis. At legacy universities, 50% of staff members are in
    administration and compliance, but the new generation of digitally native
    universities understand that there are better solutions. Woolf provides that
    solution.

    Woolf’s accreditation abilities

    (1) Woolf is designed to support the membership of new college. We have


    launched multiple colleges and their degree programs.

    (2) The Woolf software system can ingest, benchmark, and accredit
    educational content from diverse sources.

    (3) Unique degrees can be created by stacking courses from multiple


    organizations connected to Woolf because they all meet our software
    standards

    (3) The Woolf platform connects legacy education providers, including


    brick-and-mortar universities, to our cloud marketplace; this unlocks
    thousands of semi-digitized courses from their catalogue, and allows them to
    increase their revenues by accessing global demand.

    Benefits fo the Network

    Most colleges join because they seek to offer accredited courses, and they are
    happy to be given software tools.

    Colleges then discover that there are benefits exclusively for members of the
    collegiate network. These benefits include access to courses in subjects only
    taught by other colleges, making it possible to stack courses into unique
    outcomes; and access to Woolf's relationship with leading student recruitment
    and content creation firms.

    Colleges decide how much they want to participate in the wider collegiate
    community. All colleges select their course visibility:

    • Private: only visible internally to a college members

    • Protected: only visible to the public under the providers URL

    • Available: course can be added to another college’s degree pathway

    • Public: course listed in the central, public, Woolf marketplace

    Woolf’s current accreditation

    Students accumulating credit points when studying at a Woolf college have


    them converted to degrees through one of Woolf’s degree issuing subsidiaries.

    For example, Woolf University operates Woolf Education, a licensed Higher


    education Institution with the ability to provide degrees up to the PhD level
    (European Qualifications Framework 8).

    The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is the most widely-recognized


    and sophisticated accreditation system in the world. Every major university,
    including in the US, handles ECTS credits. ECTS are used natively across the
    European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and by transfer to other countries.

    Woolf’s future accreditation

    All courses run through the Woolf system are benchmarked by the exact same
    standards, regardless of the jurisdiction of degree issuance, or the educational
    provider on the platform.

    All accredited degrees should be issued by smallest number of legal entities


    that can provide global coverage.

    We intend to increase the number of owned or partner universities that can


    accredit content. This will reduce friction for our education providers and
    students, create resilience against regulatory changes, and foster a
    competitive process for accreditation speed and cost.
