The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
The Project Management Institute, commonly known as PMI, has consistently been at the forefront, pioneering standards and practices that have become quintessential for project management professionals worldwide. Their materials, curated with meticulous attention to detail, are informational and designed to prepare aspiring project managers for their certification exams. These materials cover a vast spectrum of information, from foundational principles and methodologies to advanced techniques and emerging trends. PMI ensures project managers are well-equipped to handle the multifaceted nature of projects in various industries. PMI has a very rigorous test that takes 3 hours to complete. The practice test also resembles the real thing, meaning it will take students the same time to understand their shortcomings for the test.
PMI wanted a way to cut this time down dramatically so they could help students save time taking tests and spend more time working on their weaknesses.PMI recognized the potential of machine learning to offer personalized, adaptive learning experiences, allowing for real-time feedback and dynamic adjustments based on individual student progress. They approached NineTwoThree Studio to understand how to implement this solution. Our team carries a depth of experience in machine learning, project management, and finding clever solutions with technology. After speaking with PMI, NineTwoThree explained the complexities of machine learning, and that we need to implement a successful project.
For any machine learning model to be effective, it relies heavily on vast data for training. This data serves as the foundation, guiding the algorithms to recognize patterns, make predictions, and adapt based on new information.
PMI faced a significant hurdle in this aspect: while they had a wealth of educational content, they lacked the granular, structured, and extensive data required to train and fine-tune a reliable model. Without such a data set, the model would risk being imprecise and would not achieve the desired outcomes.
In addition to the lack of data, developing a machine-learning tool isn't just about the algorithms. It demands a holistic approach, including data collection, preprocessing, model training, testing, deployment, and continuous optimization. Each phase carries its own costs, from manpower to computational resources.
PMI soon realized that while the vision of a machine learning-based assessment tool was compelling, the financial implications of achieving this vision were substantial. Implementing such a system would not only require a significant initial investment but could also lead to escalating costs in the long run due to maintenance, updates, and potential scalability issues.
Confronted with these challenges, PMI had to reconsider its approach. While the allure of a high-tech, machine-learning-driven solution was undeniable, the practicalities of data and budget made it evident that they needed an alternative that was both effective and pragmatic. The quest was to find a balance between leveraging technology and ensuring feasibility, setting the stage for a fresh perspective on solving the assessment conundrum.
Given the expertise and reputation of both entities in the project management landscape, a collaboration was in order. PMI's academic and structured approach to project management, combined with NineTwoThree Studio's hands-on and adaptive strategies, promised a fusion that could potentially revolutionize the way professionals approach their certification preparations.
NineTwoThree realized that PMI’s problem could be solved with math instead of a machine learning solution. NineTwoThree proposed the concept of gamification to gauge a learner's progress.
To facilitate this plan, NineTwoThree utilized a spreadsheet from PMI, which housed all the necessary structured data.
The gamification system was set up to start with a mix of questions from all domains and difficulty levels. Based on the learners' performance, the system would then dynamically adjust, presenting questions of increasing difficulty.
The aim was that within a span of 25-30 questions, or roughly 40 minutes to an hour, the system could confidently deduce a learner's proficiency level. This approach slashed the assessment time by two-thirds compared to PMI's original 3-hour practice test.
Moreover, to further enhance the learning experience, each question came with an accompanying explanation, offering students insights into their errors. This feature drew inspiration from Udemy, a platform the NineTwoThree tech team had utilized while preparing for AWS certifications.
With NineTwoThree’s help, PMI was able to cut down the time it takes a practice test and assess a student’s grasp of the material by 80%, and do it at a fraction of the cost of a machine learning project.

NineTwoThree's gamification strategy offered PMI a streamlined, cost-effective, and user-friendly solution. By embracing a simpler approach, we managed to significantly reduce assessment time and provide immediate feedback to learners, thereby enhancing the overall learning experience.
"I appreciate their ability to brainstorm with our key contacts to get the product we are interested in creating." - Product Manager, Project Management Certification Body
By transforming the traditionally daunting assessment process into an engaging and interactive experience, gamification brought a fresh vibrancy to the learning journey. It wasn't just about answering questions anymore; it was about progressing, earning rewards, and engaging in a dynamic feedback loop that both educated and entertained.
