Personalized Learning Platform (Available December 2025)
Platform Features
Personalized Learning Dashboard
Track your progress across every concept in your course with a clean, intuitive dashboard. Our adaptive system maps your strengths and weaknesses in real time, so you always know exactly what to study next.
Adaptive Knowledge Map
Behind the scenes, our Bayesian Knowledge Tracing engine continuously updates your mastery level for every concept. The interactive knowledge map gives both students and instructors a transparent view of learning progression, not just right or wrong answers.
Guided Problem-Solving Tutor
Our state-aware AI tutor goes beyond answer-giving. It guides you through step-by-step reasoning, asks targeted questions, and uses verified explanations to help you build understanding—not shortcuts.
