We specifically designed these courses for students who wish to have more flexibility in their academic schedule. Now, whether they’re working toward academic goals, career goals, or simply want to explore a new interest, our Flexible courses give them more choice when they embark on learning.

BOSTON (PRWEB)
May 09, 2022

Scheduling flexibility is frequently cited by students and teachers as a major benefit of working with VHS Learning’s asynchronous online courses. Starting in August, students will be able to take advantage of an even more flexibly paced course format.

The new Flexible course model will be available for 16 courses beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year:

• Algebra 1 Flexible
• AP® Calculus AB Flexible
• AP® Calculus BC Flexible
• AP® Computer Science Principles Flexible
• AP® Environmental Science Flexible
• AP® Macroeconomics Flexible
• AP® Microeconomics Flexible
• AP® Music Theory Flexible
• AP® Physics 1 Flexible
• AP® Spanish Language and Culture Flexible
• AP® Statistics Flexible
• AP® United States Government Flexible
• AP® United States History Flexible
• English 9 Flexible
• English 11 Flexible
• Spanish 1 Flexible

Each Flexible course is self-paced, and teacher led. Courses begin on the first of every month from August through February (August through December for AP® courses). The courses will end at the completion of the school year, so later enrollees will progress through course material at a faster pace.

“We specifically designed these courses for students who wish to have more flexibility in their academic schedule,” said Carol DeFuria, President & CEO of VHS Learning. “Some students would like to enroll in a course after the beginning of the traditional fall semester start. Now, whether they’re working toward academic goals, career goals, or they simply want to explore a new interest, our Flexible courses give them more choice regarding when they embark on learning.”

“As in all our courses, students taking Flexible courses will receive significant teacher support. VHS Learning teachers interact with students in asynchronous discussions, host weekly office hours, and invite students to monthly one-on-one progress meetings,” DeFuria continued. “This new course model is part of our mission to empower schools with the industry’s best teacher-led online learning programs and provide students with an expansive choice of courses that prepare them for college, careers, and beyond.”

VHS Learning has a 25-year reputation for educational quality, including rigorous professional development for the certified teachers who provide course instruction. All VHS Learning teachers complete graduate-level Online Teaching Methodologies (OTM) training to learn best practices for online teaching and learning, and 81% of VHS Learning teachers possess a master’s degree or higher. The nonprofit’s vision is to prepare students for college, careers, and life and well-trained teachers are an essential part of the equation.

67,789 online stores are powered by Magento

MIAMI (PRWEB)
May 06, 2022

Magento is one of the 10 most popular eCommerce platforms. It powers 67,789 online stores, according to Datanyze. The release of Magento 2 aims to improve the shopping experience by incorporating advanced features, including better security, faster loading times and enhanced usability.

DesignRush, a B2B marketplace connecting businesses with agencies, leveraged its 13,000-agencies-strong network for quick insights – or “QuickSights” – on the tips on how to migrate from Magento 1 to 2.

1) CREATE A MIGRATION PLAN

According to Vishal Lakhani, CEO at Rock Technolabs, the key to migrating from Magento 1 to 2 lies in creating a migration plan that incorporates all the key stages, from installing extensions to testing and launching the online store.

“Seamless migration from Magento 1 to 2 process includes creating a migration plan,” said Lakhani. “You should consider preparing the proper testing environment, migrating themes, installing extensions, customizing functionality, migrating data, testing & synchronizing the database and finally launching your Magento 2 store on a live server.”

2) THINK OF IT AS A WHOLE NEW PROJECT

Roger Rodrigo, head of engineering at Interactiv4, believes that to seamlessly migrate from Magento 1 to 2, developers should approach the process as if they are working on a totally new project.

”When you plan to upgrade Magento 1 to Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source, formerly known as Magento 2, you should think of it as a whole new project,” said Rodrigo. “It’s not just a version upgrade; it is a migration to a different platform with its own code architecture and advanced features. Use this as an excellent opportunity to rethink and improve your online store to get more out of it.”

EBANX headquarters in Curitiba, Brazil

“Payment solutions go way beyond the technology and the services we offer merchants – they represent a bridge between Latin Americans and global digital companies’ products and services,” said Paula Bellizia, president of Global Payments at EBANX.

CURITIBA, Brazil (PRWEB)
May 03, 2022

EBANX, the leading payments company in Latin America that connects global companies to Latin America’s consumers, has been named to Fast Company’s 2022 World Changing Ideas Awards, announced today, honoring products, concepts, companies, policies, and designs that are driving change and supporting the growth of positive social innovation, tackling social inequality, climate change, and public health crises.

The company is named in the global awards with an Honorable Mention in the Best Changing Idea LATAM category, for its payments platform that delivers end-to-end payment solutions for the entire digital commerce transaction flow for international and global merchants that need a “one-stop-shop” platform to expand their operations and customer base or combine operational models in Latin America. The platform lets e-merchants accept shoppers’ desired local payment methods from a selection of more than 100 different options across 15 Latin American countries, without having to open multiple local entities or connect to banks, local acquirers, and payout services.

The EBANX payments platform ultimately contributes to digital and financial inclusion in Latin America, where about half the population still doesn’t have a bank account. The digital commerce market in LatAm, one of the world’s fastest growing regions, is projected to grow 31 percent per year until 2025 – an acceleration comparable to only that of Asian markets. Local payment methods in the region play a critical role in boosting the economy by making digital goods and services available to more people.

Payment methods other than credit or debit cards, known as alternative payments, currently represent a 30 percent share of the total digital commerce volume in the region, according to data from Americas Market Intelligence (AMI) in EBANX’s annual Beyond Borders study. These options range from cash vouchers and local e-wallets to bank transfers and instant payments like Pix, the instant payments system created by the Central Bank of Brazil – introduced in November 2020 and already used by more than half of the Brazilian population. Besides the alternatives, there are the domestic-only debit and credit cards that are not enabled for international purchases.

“Payment solutions go way beyond the technology and the services we offer merchants – they represent a bridge between Latin Americans and global digital companies’ products and services. With EBANX, Latin American consumers gain access to a much broader array of products, streaming services, software and other purchase options, and online businesses around the world can unlock the huge potential of the LatAm market where more than 650 million people live today,” said Paula Bellizia, president of Global Payments at EBANX.

The World Changing Ideas Awards

Now in its sixth year, the judges of the World Changing Ideas Awards consider entries from across the globe. The 2022 awards showcase 39 winners, 350 finalists, and more than 600 honorable mentions—with climate, social justice, AI and data among the most popular categories. A panel of eminent Fast Company editors and reporters selected the winners and finalists from a pool of more than 2,997 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology, health, social justice, and more. In addition, several new categories have been added this year including climate, nature, water, and workplace. Fast Company’s Summer 2022 issue (on newsstands May 10, 2022) will showcase some of the world’s most inventive entrepreneurs and companies tackling global challenges.

“Fast Company’s awards are one of the most important outlets to showcase the most creative, impactful and promising companies and initiatives worldwide. Being featured in this year’s selection of innovators alongside so many outstanding brands makes us feel honored. It is a recognition that we are on the right track to promote broader access and financial inclusion for consumers and grow global merchants’ businesses through our solutions,” said João Del Valle, co-founder and CEO of EBANX.

“We are consistently inspired by the novelty and creativity that people are applying to solve some of our society’s most pressing problems, from shelter to the climate crisis. Fast Company relishes its role in amplifying important, innovative work to address big challenges,” said David Lidsky, interim editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Our journalists have identified some of the most ingenious initiatives to launch since the start of 2021, which we hope will both have a meaningful impact and lead others to join in being part of the solution.”

ABOUT EBANX

EBANX is the leading payments platform in Latin America, connecting more than 35,000 global and regional companies with customers from one of the fastest-growing digital markets in the world. The company was founded in 2012 with the mission of giving access for Latin Americans to purchase from international e-commerce merchants.

Snackclub Raises $9M

SNACKCLUB will elevate our commitment to the community by investing in the technology, platform, and publishing partners that will realize the potential of blockchain gaming. We have a long way to go, but these investments will change the how and why behind a gamer’s decision to play.

SAO PAULO (PRWEB)
April 29, 2022

SNACKCLUB, a new sister company to LOUD, gaming’s fastest-growing international brand with 300M combined followers, and the first gaming organization to reach a billion views on YouTube (link), has secured $9M in seed funding to launch a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) committed to reimagining ownership in gaming. Historically, gamers have had no possession over the currency, equipment, or assets their characters have procured through the hundreds, if not thousands, of hours invested in modern gaming titles. The proliferation of Web3, allows users to “mint” in-game items to an external blockchain wallet that immediately grants rare assets value and provides the liquidity necessary to unlock new, global economies. Reflecting on LOUD’s experience as Brazil’s largest esports and gaming-lifestyle group, blockchain gaming could be the future of work for young players in developing, low-earning countries.

“LOUD has always been a community-first organization,” said Jean Ortega, co-founder of LOUD and managing partner of SNACKCLUB. “SNACKCLUB will elevate that commitment by investing in the technology, platform, and publishing partners that will bring the potential of blockchain gaming to our community. We have a long way to go, but these investments will change the how and why behind a gamer’s decision to play.”

As a DAO, SNACKCLUB will soon operate under a community leadership structure that welcomes fans to equitably participate in the company’s operation by voting on major decisions. There is no fee to join and anyone over 18 years old with internet access is invited to participate. In fact, the majority of SNACKCLUB’s ownership and governance rights will be reserved for community onboarding after the company’s founders and investors have finalized a strategic vision later this year. Mechanism Capital led the $9M seed round with other participation from Animoca, Ascensive Assets, Formless Capital, Jump Crypto, OP Crypto, ROK Capital, and Shima Capital.

“As LOUD’s sister company, SNACKCLUB is launching with access to an immediate and passionate community who are anxious to explore the future of gaming”, said Marc Weinstein, a partner at Mechanism, the round’s leading investor. “We’re thrilled to support SNACKCLUB’s efforts to realize that future by providing an ecosystem that promotes ownership, fairness, and transparency, especially for a region where even a little income could go a long way. This is an exciting season for gaming, and we can’t wait to define its potential alongside our new partners.”

SNACKCLUB will source, educate, and build its community of active gamers by mobilizing LOUD’s current, exhaustive, and combined audience of 300M+ fans across popular social media platforms. The organization will focus on content and media reflective of LOUD’s gaming lifestyle brand while introducing new games, currencies, and developers to the community. Over time, users will inform strategic decisions including what game concepts to lift, and the mechanics behind each game’s economy. Once those titles launch, SNACKCLUB will mobilize an engaged audience that populates the game and begins mining for high-liquidity assets. As that title’s popularity and awareness propagate throughout SNACKCLUB’s Latin American footprint, the value of those assets may fluctuate. For now, however, SNACKCLUB’s immediate focus is to nurture its already 30-person team, establish its governance, cement its investment thesis, and conduct due diligence on priority investment prospects.

About SNACKCLUB

As a sister organization to LOUD, the world’s fastest-growing esports organization with an audience of 300M, SNACKCLUB is a Web3 startup and investor hub that will help players in developing regions realize a new era of gaming ownership. By tapping the blockchain to “mint” unique in-game items into an individual user’s out-of-game digital wallet, players will “own” those assets and can experiment with selling, trading, or spectating across a title’s most desirable digital goods. In developing, low-skill regions like Latin America and Southeast Asia where even a little extra income could go a long way, dedicated gamers can make a real impact on their livelihoods and community when playing to earn. The org will soon evolve into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) where members will guide the key decisions that bring blockchain experiences to market. Such community-first leadership will offer the voice, transparency, and equity that traditional gaming severely lacks. SNACKCLUB hosts a 30-person distributed team across South and North America and is currently focused on finalizing its governance, building its community, and accelerating investments in primary-product targets.
