Quizlet, which allows learners to create, share and consume high-quality user-generated content, caters to a diverse userbase across geographies and stages of education. Quizlet continues to scale, with more than 50 million active users a month and over a billion questions answered on the platform each week, and with two-thirds of high school students and half of all college-aged students in the United States on the platform. Students and teachers can access over 400 million user-generated study sets, or create their own, to study across activities ranging from flashcards and practice questions to interactive diagrams and games.
Quizlet’s AI-powered platform is able to personalize and adapt study sessions for each user, helping students focus on what they need to learn. Of note:
- Quizlet’s most popular study activity, Quizlet Learn, leverages AI to create an adaptive study plan that adjusts to the users’ learning needs and can be scheduled to help them reach mastery by a specific date, such as a test or final.
- Quizlet’s Smarter Grading & Feedback system can understand a student’s answer beyond a word-for-word match, determine what is correct and what needs further understanding, and then guide the student’s studying.
“Imagine if every person had access to an AI-powered tutor to help them confidently study anything they wanted to learn. The team at Quizlet wakes up every day excited to make students’ lives better by creating innovative tools that move our users towards mastery more quickly and more effectively,” said Matthew Glotzbach, CEO of Quizlet. “General Atlantic recognizes the value of technology’s impact on learning, and we welcome them as a long-term partner and strategic advisor as we pursue our next phase of growth.”
