STM publisher Elsevier has announced a collaboration with Knewton, an adaptive learning company. Starting with courses for nursing and health professions students, Elsevier will use Knewton's infrastructure to power personalised digital solutions that continuously adjust to each individual's unique learning needs.
Elsevier is a global leader in educational learning solutions, with a strong focus on research, science, and healthcare, and a mission to develop solutions that deliver improved outcomes for global health. Elsevier publishes about 25 percent of the world's clinical content, and nearly every nursing student in North America uses an Elsevier resource in training or in practice. Knewton technology will analyse what every student knows and how he or she learns best, and then provide personalised recommendations to help more students master the Elsevier material.
Elsevier's decision to work with Knewton reflects an increasing global demand for personalized learning materials and Knewton's leadership position in data analytics and adaptive learning.
To learn more about the Elsevier-Knewton collaboration and other Elsevier initiatives, interested parties may visit Elsevier's "Stay on Target" booth (#361) at the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU) Annual Conference and Expo in Las Vegas, June 16-18, 2014.
