PARAMUS, N.J., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Savvas Learning Company, a next-generation K-12 learning solutions leader, is excited to introduce Savvas PathMaker, a brand-new, all-in-one solution for college and career readiness that gives students a head start on post-high school success. Designed to offer flexibility for educators and choice for students, Savvas PathMaker delivers an exciting array of online dual-enrollment and career and technical education (CTE) courses that enable students to create their own personalized pathways and gain the skills and confidence to become college and career ready.

Savvas PathMaker provides educators the most complete package of college and career readiness solutions on the market.

Featuring the award-winning Outlier by Savvas dual-enrollment courses and the robust catalog of innovative Savvas CTE courses, including many that prepare students for industry-recognized certification exams, Savvas PathMaker gives students the opportunity to discover their passions, develop skills and knowledge, and prepare for the next stage of their life, whether that be college, career, or both.

Savvas PathMaker provides educators the flexibility to literally mix and match Savvas CTE and Outlier dual-enrollment courses, creating a customized high-quality, digital-forward solution that is accessible to all students. With Savvas CTE, students gain valuable job skills needed for today’s high-interest, high-paying jobs that many young people want to pursue, from drone piloting and cybersecurity to esports and aeronautics. And with Outlier, students can choose from popular dual-enrollment courses, such as Intro to Psychology and Computer Science, that are delivered online and asynchronously, allowing them to earn high school and college credit from the comfort of their own school building.

“We’re entering a new era of education where students need opportunities — while they are still in high school — that prepare them for the future of their choosing, not simply by dreaming about it but actively building it,” said Bethlam Forsa, CEO of Savvas Learning Company. “Savvas PathMaker uniquely enables educators to offer a diverse set of personalized opportunities for a wide variety of students’ college and career interests, preparing students for industry certification exams and equipping them with transferable job skills and college credits to chart their own path forward.”

Combining the latest technology with decades of educational research to adapt to every learner’s needs, the Savvas PathMaker portfolio of courses gives students the immersive learning experiences they want and the outcomes they deserve.

Outlier by Savvas provides online dual-enrollment courses that enable students to simultaneously earn high school as well as real, transferable college credits from the University of Pittsburgh, a top 50 global university. The courses feature cinematically produced lectures by top-rated instructors and professors from renowned institutions, such as NASA, MIT, Harvard, and Yale. Since Outlier courses are offered asynchronously, students — no matter where they live — can try on the rigor of college-level courses that easily fit their school schedule. With Outlier’s mastery-based learning, college credit is driven by the student’s overall course grade, not a high-stakes test like an AP exam.

Savvas CTE courses inspire middle and high school students to explore career paths, discover their passions, and develop the skills needed for success in today’s fast-growing, in-demand fields. The diverse catalog offers 55 courses aligned with nationally recognized career clusters, including STEM; health science; information technology (IT); and business and marketing, among others. Many of the course titles prepare students to take industry-recognized certification exams, helping them earn resume-boosting credentials and graduate as certified professionals. Providing engaging content and interactive learning features, Savvas CTE courses are designed to maximize student learning, motivation, and achievement.

With its unique offering of all-digital dual-enrollment and CTE courses, Savvas PathMaker opens a world of opportunities for students. Schools and districts can select courses in any combination or choose from a list of courses that are designed to focus instruction on a specific career and aligned to one or more industry certifications.

Here are some Savvas PathMaker examples that enable educators to mix and match CTE and dual-enrollment courses to create career pathways:

Small Business Management – Combine Savvas CTE courses Entrepreneurship and Small Business and QuickBooks, which prepare for the Entrepreneurship and Small Business certification and the Intuit QuickBooks Certified User exams, respectively, with Outlier’s Intro to Business to provide students with valuable skills to run their own business.

Tony Jaa Becomes GAC’s 30-Millionth Customer – GAC Wins Global Trust with “True Craftsmanship”

Published

July 25, 2026

By

GUANGZHOU, China, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 16, at the roll-off ceremony for GAC’s 30-millionth vehicle, Feng Xingya, Chairman of GAC Group, handed over the key to the right-hand-drive GAC M8 PHEV (named GN8 overseas) to Tony Jaa. The milestone vehicle is headed straight for overseas markets.

Thai action superstar Tony Jaa’s choice reflects the trust of 30 million customers worldwide. That trust is built not on showmanship, but on GAC’s solid manufacturing “true craftsmanship.”

From Guangzhou to the world, there are no shortcuts – quality speaks for itself. While the industry runs standard “three-high” tests, GAC pushes further with “five-high, one-mountain, one-dust” extreme vehicle trials. New models undergo at least “two winters and one summer” of validation – a minimum 18 months of real-world road testing, covering 12 major categories and over 1,500 sub-items across wind tunnel labs and proving grounds.

For each overseas market, GAC conducts additional adaptive testing for local climate and road conditions – from Middle Eastern desert heat to Southeast Asia’s humidity and heavy rains.

Quality consistency starts at the smart manufacturing front. GAC’s AION Intelligent Eco-Plant is the world’s first “Lighthouse Factory” for new energy vehicles, featuring full-process digital quality monitoring. Automated robots with AI vision systems deliver millisecond response and millimeter-level precision – ensuring uniform quality whether vehicles roll off lines in Guangzhou or overseas plants.

Safety comes first. GAC’s magazine battery has been deployed in 1.5 million vehicles, accumulating over 160 billion kilometers of safe driving. The Starlink Safety Protection System serves nearly 2 million users, preventing 6.28 million potential incidents.

With this commitment to quality and safety, GAC has established a presence in 110 countries and won the trust of 30 million users. Standing at this new milestone, GAC will continue to refine its craftsmanship and deliver worry-free, high-quality mobility experiences to every customer worldwide.

Alisira OÜ Publishes Findings on Why Most Marketing Dashboards Miss the Metrics That Matter

Published

July 25, 2026

By

Alisira OÜ has published a set of findings examining why so many marketing dashboards continue to fail to surface the numbers that actually shape decisions. The review looks at the gap between the volume of data modern platforms can collect and the amount that actually gets used when a marketing team sits down to figure out what is supposed to happen next.

TALLINN, Estonia, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A Widening Gap Between Data Collection and Decision-Making

What there is often a shortage of, according to Alisira, is a dashboard that actually connects the numbers it displays to a decision someone in the room is genuinely trying to make. That distinction is where most measurement setups tend to fall apart quietly. A dashboard can be full of activity metrics, things like impressions, click volume, and session counts, without ever getting around to answering the question a budget owner is really asking. That question is usually some version of whether a given effort is working and whether more resources should be put behind it. Engagement is easy to display. Revenue contribution by channel takes more work to calculate correctly, particularly once multiple touchpoints and delayed purchases are involved, so it is the piece that tends to be most often left out of the weekly report. However, it is also the piece that leadership actually cares about when the conversation turns serious.

Where Standard Dashboards Fall Short

Alisira’s review identifies several categories of metrics that tend to be underrepresented on standard marketing dashboards, even in cases where the underlying data would in principle be accessible:

Cross-channel attribution, as opposed to last-click or single-platform creditCustomer lifetime value by acquisition source, rather than only first-purchase conversion ratesTime-to-conversion, which is frequently collapsed into a single count with no indication of the lag that is actually involvedAssisted conversions, where a channel contributed to a sale without being the final touchpointCohort-based retention figures, in place of a single blended retention % that has a tendency to hide which groups are actually staying and which are quietly leaving

Part of the difficulty is traceable back to how fragmented most measurement setups tend to be in the first place. Only 32% of marketers globally measure their media spending across both digital and traditional channels, according to Nielsen, which leaves the majority of teams working from a partial view before the dashboard-design questions have even come into play. Alisira’s findings suggest this is less a tooling problem than it is a structural one. What most organizations lack, more often than not, is a single point in the workflow where channel-level data is reconciled before it reaches a decision-maker in a usable form.

Alisira OÜ frames these findings as part of a broader shift away from dashboards built to display everything a platform can track, toward dashboards built around a smaller, more deliberate set of numbers tied to what a team actually decides to do next. The company plans to continue publishing analysis on measurement practices and marketing reporting in the months ahead.
