Knewton is a «smart» educational platform. Knewton is a New York-based company that specializes in individual learning. Since 2008, it has been invested US$157 million from 22 investors. It creates digital courses adapting to the individual knowledge and characteristics of the student. The company was one of the first to actively apply data analysis technologies in education sphere. As a result, an adaptive education platform that can be connected to any modern learning management system (LMS) was successfully created. The company’s products are used by 13 million students worldwide. The company employs more than 200 people. Knewton calls itself «an additional level of educational application where data are analysed», therefore any educational institution or project can work with Knewton. The data used by the adaptive platform are collected by the educational application itself and transmitted to the Knewton server via the API. To start collecting certain data, for example, when a student starts watching a video or sees the result of his answer, all is takes is to add one line of the code that will transfer this data to Knewton. The platform analyzes the collected data and returns them to the application as a sort of recommendations for the tutor or as an instruction which block of content should be demonstrated to the student next time. We at AZN Research already use Big Data Analytics in Advanced Analytics Suite 3.0. Have a look and decide whether it suits your business!
