A partnership designed to empower adult, military, and transfer students through a connected and engaging digital learning experience.

DENVER and ST. CHARLES, Mo., April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lindenwood University, a leader in higher education online learning innovation, is committed to becoming The Next Great Learner-Centric University. To support this mission, it is expanding its support for online learners through a partnership with InScribe, a trusted leader in building connected digital learning communities. This initiative directly supports Lindenwood’s mission of delivering “Real Experience. Real Success.” It reinforces the university’s commitment to improving online student retention and persistence, ensuring every student has the tools and connections necessary for academic and professional achievement.

As online enrollment at Lindenwood continues to outpace on-campus growth, the university remains focused on serving “The New Majority”—a diverse student body that includes adult learners, military personnel, first-generation students, and transfer students. Experts predict that online students will make up 25% of all college students within the next five years (National Center for Education Statistics, 2023). Additionally, nearly 75% of college students today are classified as nontraditional (National Center for Education Statistics, 2023). In response, Lindenwood is taking proactive steps to ensure these learners receive the same level of support and engagement as their on-campus peers. 

Understanding the unique challenges these students face, Lindenwood is incorporating InScribe’s platform within their Canvas LMS to create a more connected and engaging learning environment. This integration will strengthen peer and faculty interactions, foster collaboration, and provide critical support resources tailored to their diverse needs.

“As the digital education landscape continues to evolve, fostering meaningful connections is more top-of-mind than ever,” said Nathan Watson, Associate Vice President, Enrollment Management at Lindenwood University. “By partnering with InScribe, we are enhancing our ability to provide online students with a dynamic space to engage with peers, faculty, and support staff, giving them access to the support and connections necessary for success.”

InScribe’s AI-driven platform enables real-time collaboration, peer-to-peer interaction, and direct faculty engagement. It addresses one of the key challenges in online education—building relationships and providing personalized support. It reinforces the university’s commitment to improving online student retention and persistence by ensuring every student has the tools and connections necessary for academic and professional achievement.

Lindenwood’s strategic plan outlines a bold 40-40-20 academic model, in which 40% of its educational offerings will be online to meet the growing demand. With an average student age of 34 and a high proportion of military and transfer students, Lindenwood understands the importance of creating a flexible and supportive learning environment. The InScribe partnership is designed to help these students balance their academic goals with their personal and professional responsibilities by building a network of support tailored to their academic and professional goals.

Institutions that have implemented InScribe’s platform have seen measurable improvements in student success and engagement. For example:

Western Governors University established a support community where first-year math students who participated were twice as likely to stay enrolled.University of North Texas saw a 13% increase in student persistence with InScribe’s digital community platform.University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) experienced a 13-point increase in course success rates and persistence, 19 percentage points more likely to earn an A, and a significant boost in social cohesion.At Rio Salado College, InScribe users reported 40% higher levels of belonging and a 14% increase in peer connectedness within just six weeks.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Lindenwood University as they continue to redefine the online learning experience,” said Katy Kappler, Co-Founder and CEO of InScribe. “Backed by over 30 years of experience in online learning, our team at InScribe is dedicated to more than just providing a platform—we build thriving educational communities. Our approach will empower Lindenwood’s students with an inclusive and supportive digital environment, helping them navigate their academic journey with confidence and support.”

This partnership is part of Lindenwood’s broader commitment to innovation in higher education, as outlined in Lindenwood 2026: Adapt, Build, Engage. By leveraging technology to create a personalized, high-impact learning ecosystem, the university is reinforcing its position as a leader in online education and lifelong learning.

stc group unveils its vision for AI-native networks at Network X 2026

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — stc group, Saudi Arabia’s leading digital enabler, has released its AI Native Core Network White Paper during Network X 2026 outlining how it plans to evolve towards an AI-native telecom network by 2030. The paper explains how the group aims to embed AI directly into its network’s design and operations to support emerging digital services and improve reliability.

stc group continues to advance its network capabilities to support AI-driven applications and changing connectivity needs. The group is upgrading its core network, which manages user connections and delivers communications services. By integrating AI deeply into this infrastructure, stc group aims to help the network adapt to changing service requirements and resolve issues with less manual intervention.

The white paper highlights how advances in AI and 5G-Advanced, the next stage of 5G, are increasing network complexity. Services such as AI-enabled calling and immersive communications require faster, more responsive connectivity. AI agents, software systems that carry out tasks on users’ behalf, also need networks to coordinate communications and computing resources around each task.

To address these requirements, the paper sets out stc’s approach spanning AI-native infrastructure, network functions and autonomous operations. It details how the group plans to develop the infrastructure needed to run AI, embed intelligence within network functions and automate more operations. These capabilities would help the network allocate resources more efficiently and recover from faults faster, while allowing engineers to focus on service improvement and oversight.

The release of this whitepaper marks an important milestone in stc group’s network evolution, building a scalable foundation for future AI services, AI agents, intelligent interaction scenarios, and next-generation 5G-A and 6G applications. Building on its existing investments, the group aims to improve network reliability, support the next generation of digital services and accelerate the industry’s transition from Cloud Native to AI Native networks.

Shoplazza Collaborates with TikTok to Bring Product Discovery Closer to Purchase

The collaboration supports TikTok’s new agentic commerce experiences, with a focus on helping merchants turn customer interest into sales.

TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shoplazza, an AI-native commerce operating system, recently announced it is working with TikTok to support new agentic commerce shopping experiences. The collaboration reflects a shared focus on shortening the path from product discovery to purchase and helping merchants make more of the demand their content and advertising generate.

TikTok introduced Buy Direct and Shopping Assistant on October 5, naming Shoplazza among its commerce and payment partners. Buy Direct lets consumers buy directly from brands within TikTok, without being redirected to an external storefront. It uses Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) to connect with merchant systems, while brands remain the Merchant of Record.

Shopping Assistant answers product questions using merchant-supplied information on product pages within TikTok’s in-app browser. Shoppers can get the details they need before proceeding to checkout on the merchant’s website within the same browser.

For merchants, a shorter purchase journey can help protect the value of their customer acquisition spending. Redirects and repeated forms add friction just as a shopper is ready to buy. Losing that purchase means losing potential revenue after already paying to attract the customer.

“As platforms automate more decisions, performance increasingly depends on how well data, creative and checkout work together,” said Chao Xu, Director at Shoplazza. “TikTok’s new shopping experiences make it easier to buy while interest is fresh, helping merchants turn that interest into revenue and use each transaction to inform smarter marketing decisions.”

Shoplazza sees these developments as part of a broader convergence between advertising platforms and commerce infrastructure. From transaction data sharing and Instant Pages to Buy Direct, the opportunity is to help algorithms understand completed purchases more accurately while making it easier for shoppers to follow through.

The collaboration builds on an established relationship. Shoplazza’s merchant admin already supports catalog syncing, TikTok Pixel and Events API setup. In May, it was the sole winner of the TikTok Partner Innovation Award for Innovation in Marketing Technology – Commerce. In July, it joined the first group of TikTok for Business Agentic Hub partners, introducing AI Skills that connect store data and business insights with TikTok’s advertising intelligence.

About Shoplazza

Shoplazza is a global AI-native commerce operating system that enables brands to build, launch, and scale their online businesses. Built on an AI agent-native framework, Shoplazza integrates storefronts, marketing, payments, and operational workflows into a unified system designed to support scalable, long-term growth across global markets.

Lexsoft Systems Partners With Clio to Bring Clio’s Legal AI Platform to Law Firms and Legal Departments Across EMEA

Lexsoft will deliver Clio products, including Clio Work and Clio Manage, and integrate them into the systems its clients already use

LONDON and MADRID, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lexsoft Systems, a provider of IT and business process solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Clio, the global leader in legal AI. Through this EMEA-wide partnership, Lexsoft will deliver Clio’s platform to law firms and corporate legal departments, and integrate it with the other business-critical systems those clients run.

This agreement strengthens Lexsoft’s position as an independent legal solutions provider, and reinforces its growing presence in the UK and across Europe. It also supports the continued expansion of its carefully selected product portfolio of best-practice, global market-leading legal systems. 

Clio brings together the context of a firm’s work with trusted legal intelligence. Clio Work can draw on the matters, clients, documents, and other information already in Clio Manage, then ground that work in Clio’s global library of more than 1 billion legal documents to support research, analysis, and drafting. For Lexsoft’s global clients, that means AI designed for legal work that understands both the firm and the law.

“A practice management system is the originating point for most major legal processes — from document management and time recording through to security measures such as ethical walls,” says Carlos García-Egocheaga, CEO of Lexsoft Systems. “Until now, we’ve been reluctant to commit to a single partner, despite a wide choice of technologically robust and functionality-rich practice management systems on the market. But with the Clio platform, we’re offering customers more than practice management. Clio Manage takes practice management to a new level, from user experience to advanced functionality. Clio Work, Clio’s legal AI workspace, helps lawyers research, strategise and draft alongside Clio’s global library of legal documents. By integrating these capabilities into customers’ existing systems, we can deliver AI that works the way they do. We’re excited about the value this partnership enables us to deliver to our customers, large and small.”

The partnership lets Lexsoft build tailored environments around Clio, with deep integrations into the other systems its clients run. It helps firms across EMEA move beyond adoption of AI tools to deeper integration and a more fundamental transformation of how legal work gets done.

“Firms across Europe want AI in their daily work, and it only earns its place when it understands the context behind that work,” says Lisa Del Real, Vice President, Channel Partnerships at Clio. “Lexsoft has built its business on connecting the systems law firms and legal departments depend on. Through this partnership, Lexsoft’s clients can run Clio Manage and Clio Work on one shared foundation, so the context of each matter carries from the business of the firm into the legal work itself. They also get an implementation team that already knows how they work.”

Lexsoft is offering Clio’s products to law firms and corporate legal departments in EMEA immediately.
