ACE offers its students high-quality online instruction and engaging and relevant curriculum, while avoiding unnecessary expenses.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / Getting your degree online should be less expensive than pursuing it in person, but recent reports show traditional colleges charge as much or more for online courses than in-person programs. In May 2025, the Hechinger Report documented how the costs of online education are soaring because colleges have recognized online education as a money-making opportunity, even though technology allows it to easily scale while avoiding bricks-and-mortar overhead costs.

American College of Education (ACE) builds its programs online-first, optimized for a fully virtual experience and designed to be relevant to today’s economy. That relentless focus on high-quality online teaching and learning allows ACE to keep its expenses in check and pass savings on to its students. ACE has not raised tuition since 2016¹, making its tuition among the most affordable in the nation.

ACE, founded in 2005, is a national innovator providing quality, affordable and accredited online undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees. ACE is the third-highest conferrer of education master’s degrees in the United States². ACE’s low tuition enables nearly nine out of 10 students to graduate debt-free³.

“At ACE, students are learning through a truly online, career-focused program, not a traditional classroom program that is forced into an online format,” said ACE President and CEO Geordie Hyland. “That way, ACE provides education that delivers real returns for the student and does it more efficiently and affordably.”

While 80% of people believe online education should be less expensive than in-person programs, a 2024 survey of colleges’ online learning officers found that 83% of schools charge the same tuition or more. A 2024 report by the Education Data Initiative found that at public four-year colleges, the tuition rate for online instruction was $341 per credit, slightly higher than the $325 per credit cost for in-person instruction.

In contrast, ACE provides an education that nine out of 10 students and 96% of employers consistently recommend, and at far less than the average cost: $215 per credit hour for most bachelor’s-level courses, $235 per credit hour for master’s-level courses and $306 per credit hour for doctoral-level courses.

The key is ACE’s high-quality instruction and its curriculum development process. ACE’s faculty are pro-active, passionate practitioners who bring real-world and relevant experience into the online classroom.

ACE’s curriculum is purpose-built for effective online learning. “We build our courses the same way you build a house,” said Jill Delcambre, ACE’s vice president of learning innovation and design. “You don’t start with the materials – you start with a blueprint of where you want everything to go and how it all fits together.”

ACE’s curriculum development process begins with academic leadership conducting program planning through market research and stakeholder input to determine the concepts and skills each course should cover. From there, ACE develops learning outcomes and a “course map” for the faculty to create content.

Faculty members collaborate with ACE’s dedicated curriculum development team to create the course, which is usually a 12-week process. They plan and develop the course content, ensuring programs and courses have measurable outcomes and that materials are at the proper level and that student expectations are clear.

ACE’s learning design team creates visually engaging, accessible and easy-to-navigate courses in the online platform for a seamless learning experience. “Another thing that ACE does differently is that we produce all of our video in-house,” Delcambre explained. The e-learning content designers produce all course videos – whether filmed with faculty in the ACE studio or designer-created content – ensuring engaging, top-quality video and vocal presentation. “We’re not going to send students to YouTube to watch videos someone else has created or just put someone in front of a camera and have them start talking,” Delcambre said. “We ensure that the content in our videos is evidence-based, backed by research and pulls students in to create meaningful engagement and active learning.”

The content designers also leverage AI as a tool to help them create interactive elements for students. For example, an education course’s module on classroom management would include designer-created “branching scenarios,” built with AI assistance, on how teachers should handle specific situations.

ACE’s rigorous development process is designed to ensure that courses keep students engaged and learning, and in a manner that allows the content to remain relevant and updated. This commitment to quality through in-house development and production represents a significant institutional investment that ultimately benefits students through both quality control and affordability. “Our investment in our courses is significant, but it’s an institutional priority that we absorb rather than pass on to students,” Delcambre said. “We’re intentional about incorporating technology that enhances learning outcomes and serves a clear educational purpose.”

ACE can also keep tuition low because of its intentional decision to forego Title IV federal student loans, even though the college is qualified to accept them. By avoiding the administrative and overhead costs of the loan programs, ACE can reduce its operational expenses and the related costs to students.

With ACE’s degree programs built and priced as true online services, students are paying less than they would for online programs offered by colleges with a physical campus. For more information, please visit ace.edu.

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / Jet Food Stores is making a meaningful upgrade for its customers, particularly families with children, by expanding its partnership with Step ‘n Wash to five additional locations. The new installations will be completed by July 1, 2025, bringing the total number of Jet stores providing this accommodation to nine.

For families and road-trippers, the decision to visit a store often hinges on whether it offers clean and easy-to-use restrooms. By installing Step ‘n Wash, a built-in retractable step stool that allows children to reach the sink safely and independently, the regional convenience store chain is continuing to make its restrooms more family-friendly.

Jet Food Stores, which operates a total of 56 locations throughout central and southern Georgia, first introduced Step ‘n Wash in 2021, and the response from customers was immediate and overwhelmingly positive.

“Anticipating the needs of the entire family was a big part of our decision to include Step ‘n Wash in more of our stores,” says Matthew Turner, Director of Food Service at Jet Food Stores. “Making the strategic decision to implement Step ‘n Wash in stores that experience heavy family traffic affords us a great opportunity to provide our customers with the utmost in convenience. We look forward to implementing Step ‘n Wash in additional stores in the near future.”

“Our customers love Step ‘n Wash – it has been a seamless addition to our restrooms,” says Robin Long, Jet Food Store Manager. “In fact, one mom told me that she goes out of her way to specifically stop at my store when she has her kids with her.”

“Jet Food Stores is an amazing convenience store partner; they don’t just talk about customer care, they show it through action,” said Jacob Fedosky, President of Step ‘n Wash. “As convenience stores compete for the family dollar, a small addition like Step ‘n Wash can have a big impact on the customer experience and ongoing brand loyalty.”

Planned merger will integrate Sonical™ clean-tech hardware with autonomous robotics and Agentic AI software to deliver next-generation infrastructure solutions.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / Go Green Global Technologies Corp. (OTCQB:GOGR) (“Go Green” or the “Company”), a clean-tech company focused on sustainable water and fuel technologies, today announced the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Four DRobotics® Corp. (“FDR”), a Canadian-based automation and robotics firm specializing in edge-controlled systems for mission-critical infrastructure.

The LOI sets forth the intent to merge the two companies into a single entity, creating a vertically integrated platform that combines Go Green’s patented Sonical™ pulsed-power hardware with FDR’s autonomous robotics and edge-intelligent control software. The merged entity will focus on delivering innovative, AI-enabled solutions for industrial efficiency and climate infrastructure.

FDR develops autonomous robotic systems built on its proprietary edge software platform, serving mission-critical sectors such as mining, utilities, defense, and other high-reliability infrastructure domains. Its solutions are engineered for environments that demand decentralized control, real-time decision-making, and exceptional operational resilience.

As part of the transaction, the companies plan to launch a joint R&D division to explore deep integration between FDR’s Agentic-AI control software and the Sonical™ pulsed-power water and fuel treatment hardware. The first pilot under this initiative will be an autonomous AI HVAC optimization system that fuses intelligent automation with Sonical™ flow-conditioning. The goal is to deliver measurable improvements in energy usage, predictive maintenance, and emissions reduction for commercial and industrial facilities.

“This is an exciting next chapter for both companies,” said Corrine Couch, Chief Operating Officer of Go Green Global Technologies. “We’re at a pivotal moment in the evolution of agentic AI, and this merger allows us to pioneer intelligent systems that combine software autonomy with high-impact hardware. By aligning with Four DRobotics, we can accelerate our mission to deliver sustainability solutions that not only protect the planet but also drive real savings for our customers.”

“Our mission at FDR has always been to bring autonomous intelligence to the edge through integration of Agentic AI and real-time control,” said Jeremy James, President of Four DRobotics. “Specifically, integration of Go Green’s Sonical™ platform with our Agentic AI solution creates a unified cyber-physical system capable of self-optimizing performance across energy, water, and industrial applications. This collaboration pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in intelligent automation for mission-critical systems.”

In addition to the potential for new product synergies, the merger presents significant cross-sector commercialization opportunities. FDR’s footprint in infrastructure markets such as mining, utilities, and perimeter security provides a natural channel for the broader deployment of Go Green’s Sonical™ platform, particularly for water treatment, biofouling control, and fuel optimization.

The LOI includes a 60-day due diligence period, during which the companies intend to negotiate definitive merger agreements. Completion of the merger remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory review, board approvals, and execution of final transaction documents.

About Go Green Global Technologies Corp.

Go Green Global Technologies Corp. (OTC: GOGR) is a clean technology company committed to delivering sustainable solutions across the water, fuel, and energy sectors.

The agentic platform unifies fragmented product workflows, turning business intent into coordinated execution at enterprise scale

PALO ALTO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / ProductNow, the first AI-native operating system for product teams, today announced a $6 million seed round led by Sierra Ventures, with participation from Parameter Ventures and senior operators from leading cloud, consumer, and AI companies.

Tript Singh Lamba is the Founder & CEO of ProductNow, an AI-native platform redefining how product teams work. Over two decades, he built flagship platforms at Microsoft, Google, and Expedia-helping launch Bing, the early core of Microsoft Messenger and Azure, and co-founding Google’s Ads AI personalization team. He also led YouTube Ads through hypergrowth and drove an AI-first transformation of Expedia’s consumer product. ProductNow is the culmination of these experiences, a category-defining system for the autonomous product teams of the future.

Modern product orgs don’t struggle to ship code, they struggle to turn business strategy into coordinated execution. While AI has transformed engineering, product workflows remain stuck in docs, decks, and meetings. More than 3 million product, program, and strategy leaders influence over $1 trillion in software spend-yet they’re still waiting for their Copilot moment.

It’s the highest-leverage, least-augmented function in tech: one of the most powerful, yet underserved, layers in the enterprise. ProductNow unifies this chaos into a single AI-native system that helps teams move from idea to impact quickly, aligned, and at scale.

“With AI accelerating engineering, the real bottleneck is no longer code…it’s turning strategy into execution and results,” said Tript Singh Lamba, Founder & CEO of ProductNow. “We’re building a system of leverage that augments teams across product, program, and beyond–amplifying judgment, reducing overhead, and bringing the kind of AI advantage developers have to the rest of the org.”

AI-accelerated code. ProductNow accelerates everything around it.

ProductNow is an agentic platform that seamlessly integrates with the tools teams already use. Its AI copilots augment and amplify leaders across the organization, starting with product, program, and strategy. Welcome to the Neural Command Era, where human judgment is the command, and AI is the engine of execution that turns intent into coordinated action, freeing teams from the friction of docs, decks, and meetings.

“This isn’t an incremental upgrade, it rewires the core of how products get built,” said Tim Guleri, Managing Partner at Sierra Ventures. “ProductNow gives teams a real-time system of execution…something every product leader has wanted, but no one has delivered. It’s a rare kind of platform shift, and Tript has the depth and precision to see it through.”

About ProductNow
ProductNow is building the first AI-native system for product creation in the enterprise. Designed around collaborative agents, the platform replaces fragmented tools and manual workflows with intelligent, end-to-end coordination from strategy to execution. Founded by Tript Singh Lamba, former product executive at Expedia, Google, and Microsoft, the company is backed by Sierra Ventures, Parameter Ventures, and top MAANG operators.

“AI is completely transforming how business development teams win business, and QorusDocs is at the forefront,” said Ray Meiring, CEO of QorusDocs. “The majority of our customers now rely on AI to manage proposals. We’re at a pivotal moment, and with the acquisition of Shark Finesse, we’re poised to deliver on companies’ full revenue enablement journey, from proving value to winning the deal.”

QorusDocs Acquires Shark Finesse

With Shark Finesse joining QorusDocs, the company’s vision is to enable business development and proposal teams to prove value early in the revenue cycle, with intelligent business cases to close deals faster. Shark Finesse offers pre-built ROI models and customizable frameworks that help sales teams build value and close deals by removing the guesswork from financial justification.

“QorusDocs has used Shark Finesse to create business cases for years, so this acquisition is a natural fit and value-add,” said Meiring. “Uniting our teams is the first step in our vision to connect business value with winning documents, which will be a game-changing combination for revenue teams.”

“We’ve known the QorusDocs team a long time, and we’re extremely bullish on the future of our combined products,” said Jonathan Keighley, CEO at Shark Finesse. “Business development is one of the most consequential use cases of AI, and together we’re going to help more companies win more pitches.”

Following the acquisition, both companies will continue to operate independently while working toward a unified product vision, anticipated to be available in 2026.
