Mission Statement
Our mission is to reignite the spark* in students' relationship with learning through free access to great education. *Or set it ablaze, if it's already burning.
About This Cause
We provide a personalized learning platform, called GoodProblems, that teaches students evidence-based, transferable skills and strategies for effective learning; it is designed to address the urgent need for well-designed online resources in the public education system. GoodProblems makes the most of recent developments in information technology to create a unique tool that enhances classroom learning, rather than trying to replicate it online. GoodProblems consists of two parts: 1. a unique learning platform that provides personalized, comprehensive courses where students can learn new subjects; 2. a practice platform designed to help students master what they’ve learned via a unique concept-based spaced-repetition algorithm. By combining these two parts we have managed to make learning feel intuitive by facilitating and integrating effective practice every step of the way, allowing students to make the deep connections that lead to genuine learning. The content in both sides of the app is built on powerful programming languages and cutting-edge programmatic libraries that make it possible for a single instructor to generate thousands of genuinely distinct variations of activities. This effectively creates an infinite bank of diverse practice problems, so that students focus on the underlying concepts, instead of memorizing solutions to specific problems. Moreover, these advanced tools make it possible to augment *every* problem in ways not previously imaginable, such as: just-in-time assets for supporting students in new, challenging topics; interactive components for actively exploring new concepts and detailed analysis that can adapt to each student’s level, providing them with invaluable feedback on their progress and empowering them with full control over their learning.
