The education software provider told e-Literate blogger and consultant Phil Hill that there was “insufficient market demand for full CBE programs.” The Brainstorm CBE solution offers full support for non seat-time courses, with certificates, credentials and degrees. According to Hill, the Brainstorm platform will no longer be available by the end of March.
