Knewton Alta economics
Knewton Alta is accessible, affordable, and adaptive courseware that provides students with the support they need at the moment they need it. The Alta learning experience goes beyond homework—it pairs practice with personalized learning that offers detailed answer explanations, integrated just-in-time instruction, and remediation of pre-requisite skill gaps, all based on student performance.
All students start on the topic assigned by the instructor, and rather than relying on periodic diagnostics, the platform continuously monitors students’ performance and adapts in real-time to maximize their learning outcomes.
The data science behind the Alta technology is designed to ensure students can retain, recall, and apply knowledge in the future, and the gradebook gives instructors actionable data and insights into student performance and preparedness.
The end result? Learning that lasts.
