January was another milestone for the HM team — we built and launched an online university.

We were thrilled to ship the Art of Education University — an accredited institution awarding master’s degrees online. The Art of Education (AOE) originally partnered with HM in 2016 to create a site for their existing graduate-level courses, lesson plans and other resources for art teachers. They came back to us with an ambitious plan to combine their existing courses and content into a full-fledged university. And if there’s something we love here at HM, it’s ambitious ideas.

“For the past few years, the Happy Medium dev team has built an incredible relationship with AOE. Starting with online professional development content and the Art Ed PRO subscription, together we’ve had an opportunity to build some amazing user-focused products from scratch. AOEU put things on a whole new scale, allowing us to flex our minds and development muscles at an even higher level. The result is a fully-functioning online university that provides a digital experience from course management to transcript requests. All while maintaining the highest in security and UX standards.”
