Elsevier, a global leader in information analytics specializing in science and health, and part of RELX, has acquired Authess, the Boston-based developer of an advanced performance-based competency assessment platform that evaluates how students solve complex, open-ended problems they would encounter on the job. “When we founded Authess, our goal was to help ensure that learners are job ready and not just test ready,” said Paul Crockett, CEO and Co-founder of Authess. “That’s why we developed an authentic assessment platform that leverages real-world scenarios, advanced technology and machine learning to measure competency. Now, with Elsevier, we are looking forward to a new and exciting future to help develop more competent, job-ready nurses.”
