Key features of the Learning Assistant include:
Study paths: Studying is more effective when it’s designed for students’ individual goals. Based on the results of a short diagnostic, the Learning Assistant provides a personalized study path. These paths adapt to the challenge level of each individual and predict the most efficient starting place for each study session.
Smart grading: Learning science shows that writing-in answers help students retain information better. The Learning Assistant leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) to interpret written answers and evaluates those answers based on their meaning instead of exact verbiage. This enhancement allows students to study concepts, not just vocabulary. Students have the ability to opt-in or out for this feature, depending on their preference for mastery and the content they are learning.
Progress: When students know how well they are performing, they can use their time more wisely. The Progress dashboard gives students a comprehensive view of study activity and provides insights on areas to improve. Through more granular understanding of content that’s unknown, mastered, or somewhere in between, students can break down their study sessions and use their time more effectively.
Quizlet was recently certified by Digital Promise as a “Research-Based Design Product” in thanks to the study platform’s research-backed learning-science strategies. This comes on the heels of Quizlet’s Series C funding and 1 billion dollar valuation in May 2020, and the appointments of Shannon Brayton to its Board of Directors and Brad Ramsey as Chief Marketing Officer.
