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.
Knewton Alta provides an environment for your students that builds prerequisite skills and experience, making it easier to learn (and teach!). You control what your students see within each learning objective so that it's tailored to your syllabus.
Students complete integrated assessments and instruction at their own pace until they reach mastery on each objective, gradually strengthening their conceptual understanding. Hands-on exploratory learning is critical in mathematics. With Desmos graphing assessment questions embedded in the instruction, students can visualize and manipulate interactive elements for challenging topics to develop better conceptual understanding.
Adaptive technology is at the heart of a personalized learning experience for each student.
Knewton Alta provides immediate and detailed feedback tailored to each specific question, regardless of answer correctness, to reinforce key concepts and fill knowledge gaps.
All of Knewton Alta's content — including instructional text and video, examples and assessment — is organized by learning objective, integrated within the adaptive experience, and served up at the precise moment a student needs it.
Knewton Alta adapts to students’ proficiency levels with each interaction. If a student struggles on an assignment, Knewton Alta recognizes their knowledge gap immediately and provides just-in-time remediation — even when it requires reaching back to prerequisite concepts.
Now more than ever, students need access to high-quality, affordable course materials to ensure they have the best shot at success—particularly in the developmental and gateway math and statistics courses. That’s why we’re offering our Knewton Alta Foundations of Math at NO COST to learners everywhere.
