Knewton Alta

I've posted about the groundbreaking innovation and societal impact of the work by Julia Winter and the team at Alchemie in developing #KASI many times, but today is an especially appropriate time for another shout out. This project was first funded by #EDIESSBIR in 2020 as a novel concept and has since won follow on awards from #SBIRgov #AmericasSeedFund National Science Foundation (NSF), NIDDLRR, and NIH. Back in 2019 Julia and I discussed the challenge for securing funding (private or philanthropy) for a #accessibility project that would serve a lower incidence population - students who are blind or visually impaired. Our SBIR program answered this call, awarding the high-risk high-reward project because of its social significance and the urgency to invest in innovation to ensure that ALL students can access tools to practice #STEM. 5 years later this project has a licensing agreement with Wiley to distribute at scale, and Julia is presenting results from research at key industry events. I will forever be proud to have had the opportunity to lead a program that invested in this R&D and do work that contributed to this story. https://lnkd.in/eViUESMP Institute of Education Sciences U.S. Department of Education Erin Higgins David Miller Lindsay Portnoy, PhD Ben Schrag Rajesh Mehta Tony Beck Brian Bard Sarah Brasiel Tara Courchaine Fox Anita Vermeer Tina Diamond Regina "Gina" Kline Erin Mote Erin Stark Christopher Patnoe Kevin Custer Mark Barlet #AssistiveTechnology #Accessibility #EdTech

OpenStax Technology Partner webinar:Transforming OER into an adaptive learning experience with Knewton Alta February 27 | 3:00pm - 3:45pm, EST Join us to see how the OpenStax, Rice University Contemporary Math digital textbook has been translated into dynamic, personalized courseware with the help of Knewton Alta! Attendees will learn how the OpenStax content was leveraged to create integrated instruction, adaptive homework assignments, and thorough assessments — all online. We will be joined by Professor Matthew Cathey, Wofford College, and Professor Quin Hearn, Broward College, who worked on both the text and Knewton Alta course.

Teaching Organic Chemistry? Join us for an inspiring session with Dr. Laurie Starkey as she explores a key challenge in today’s chemistry classroom - what if students don’t choose to be engaged? Drawing from her 29 years of experience in the classroom and her contributions as co-author on the 5th Edition of Organic Chemistry with David Klein, Dr. Starkey will discuss key factors that can dramatically impact student motivation, described as a “GPS” of guiding principles: encouraging a Growth mindset, developing a sense of Purpose and relevance, and fostering a Sense of belonging.
