Learning Pool is delighted to have partnered with the University of San Diego’s School of Business to offer a blended learning solution for classroom-based learning using the award-winning Learning Pool Platform.

Founded in 1972, the University of San Diego School of Business is committed to developing socially responsible business leaders with a global mindset through academically rigorous, relevant and values-based education and research. 

Now, with more than 9,000 students from 85 countries and 50 US states, and offering 27 courses each year globally, the University of San Diego is the youngest independent institution on the U.S. News & World Report list of Top 100 Universities in the United States and ranked 50th on the 2018 Financial Times U.S. Top Global MBA list. 

As an original customer of HT2 Labs who was acquired by Learning Pool in 2019, the University of San Diego has been using the Learning Pool Platform to offer a range of postgraduate and undergraduate courses, particularly in Supply Chain Management, for over a decade. 

To help facilitate a more flexible and personalized learning experience for its students, the University has now decided to extend its use of the platform to offer a blended learning solution of digital learning combined with classroom-based learning for many of its courses. 

Commenting on the relationship between Learning Pool and the University of San Diego, Simon Croom, Professor Supply Chain Management at USD commented: 

We have been using the Platform for nearly a decade and our reasoning is simple – it is an exceptional way to provide rich learning content in an engaging and rewarding learning environment. Our supply chain students consistently rate the Platform as the ‘best part of the course delivery’ and they find the opportunities to follow their interests, engage with their fellow students and add their own resources key reasons they invest so much of their learning time.
