BTW, with deeper integrations... you open up some unique opportunities to solve big problems for districts:
Done right, deep integrations mean you, in-effect, have a way to get to all data within a district (data warehouses go for six to eight figures and districts eat it up, as you know). The power of being able to get to data district-wide... You have that obvious route for analytics and reporting now, but what if you were to take the next step... ML/NLP/AI... you can do truly interesting work now. Measure teacher effectiveness, dropout prediction well before it occurs, academic achievement prediction to catch kids before teachers can (because you see the whole picture), recommending interventions that have worked for students in similar scenarios, etc. Now that's cool.
- robbiemitchell 12y ago"Recommending interventions" is a piece of what Knewton does. But we don't need PII or demographic data to do it. We are integrated with the digital course materials (Pearson, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Cengage, etc.) and work inside those products to provide real-time student recommendations, predictive analytics for teachers (intervene ahead of time), and content insights for publishers to change content or create more where it's needed most.
