OES and Construct combine to serve customers in more than 190 countries. They work with education partners to develop online programs that provide a rich and immersive learning experience, a Construct press release said.
“The investment in Construct builds on our purpose to deliver quality online learning for partner universities and organizations, and their students, regardless of location,” said Denice Pitt, CEO of OES. “Our shared people-first focus and combined expertise in education mean that, together, we provide unrivaled service to universities and higher education providers looking to deliver high-quality online programs.”
