Learning should be active, engaging, and personalized to every learner. But too often, it's centered around passive consumption of content with little incorporation of the pedagogical practices that make learning stick. Classwise is on a mission to change that. We are building a next-generation learning platform that puts the world's best AI tools in the hands of every educator and learner. Our goal is to make learning more active, engaging and personalized, regardless of whether it's in-person, online or hybrid.

Origins of Classwise
