Prollster's “social learning” platform enhances e-learning through enabling authentic and meaningful connections between peers. (A Proll is a "positive troll".) Our features include grouping, "empathetic gamification", and machine learning analytics used to incentivize, measure and accredit soft skills (e.g. teamwork, collaboration, empathy, communication). Our technology mobilizes research from learning analytics and cognitive science, which have demonstrated that students learn better and persist longer when learning is “ignited” through social connections—which we place at the core of the active student learning experience. Better engagement increases student retention and revenue for our customers, while creating improved learning outcomes and compliance for learners. Simply put: we enable online learning to monetize more effectively at scale.
