Knewton

edit

Knewton is a technology company based in NYC. Their Adaptive Learning Platform customizes standardized educational content to meet the unique needs of each student. Knewton analyzes learning materials based on thousands of data points, concepts, structure, difficulty level, media format and uses sophisticated algorithms to piece together the perfect bundle of content for each student.

The more students who use the platform, the more accurate it becomes. It’s similar to Pandora’s music recommendations or Google’s search results. Last year Knewton was named a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, following in the footsteps of companies like Twitter, Firefox, and Paypal.

Today, students in 190 countries are learning using The Adaptive Learning Platform. Colleges and universities are solving long-standing remediation problems with Math Readiness for College and students across the globe are using the GMAT, LSAT, and SAT prep courses.
