OLC's exclusive collaboration explores the support needs of online learners to improve outcomes

“The number of non-traditional learners at postsecondary institutions has escalated in recent years,” said Michael London, founder and CEO of Uwill. “Adult learners are not just dealing with the rigor of academic study, they are also faced with other life circumstances including employment, family, financial decision, and other challenges that can negatively affect their academic behaviors.”

Utilizing its proprietary technology and counselor team, Uwill pioneered a student and therapist matching platform. The solution offers an immediate appointment with a licensed counselor based on student preferences, all modalities of teletherapy, a direct crisis connection, wellness events, realtime data, and support.
