Adaptive Learning

Your learning plan is personalized at an atomic level and constantly re-calibrated based on your every action. Knewton dynamically assembles your unique study plan daily: You get the perfect amount of content sorted by atomic concept, difficulty level, and media type. Then we make you see the material again right before you're about to forget it.

Knewton starts by assigning tags to each piece of content—more than 100,000 tags in total! Every concept is categorized down to the level from which it can no longer be divided. Then we track, at this same atomic level, how you interact with each concept. If we notice that you learn certain concepts better by watching video, then for related concepts in the future, you get more video. If we notice that on certain concepts you learn better if you work through a specific number (or difficulty level) of practice questions, then for related concepts in the future, that's what you'll get.

Concept Queue

You'll see adaptive learning everyday via your queue, which lists only the atomic concepts you need to learn. When you master concepts, items come off the top. As you're exposed to new concepts, items are added to the bottom of the queue.

Calendar

The two week calendar lists all the Knewton events you have coming up. You can personalize your calendar by telling us how many hours you are planning to study, and/or what times you have available. For instance, if you tell us you're going to do homework every Tuesday and Thursday from 2-4, the calendar automatically ports in the appropriate concepts from the queue.

The calendar's schedule is as disciplined or flexible as you want it to be. If you need a disciplined schedule, that's what it'll provide. But if you miss a class or homework, it will automatically re-calibrate and optimize in real-time.
