Imagine Learning Launches AI-Enhanced Tutoring to Meet Demand for Personalized Support

Scottsdale, Arizona – April 08, 2024 – Imagine Learning, the largest national provider of digital curriculum solutions, serving over 15 million students and one million educators, today announced the release of its AI-enabled tutoring platform. This latest development marks a significant step toward Imagine Learning’s goal of incorporating AI throughout its product portfolio and underscores its dedication to leveraging AI to enhance opportunity and access for every learner.

“At Imagine Learning, we firmly believe that embracing AI doesn’t replace human intelligence, it enhances it,” said Jonathan Grayer, CEO of Imagine Learning. “Rooted in this conviction, we’re confident that integrating AI will fuel purpose-driven learning and empower each student to unlock their full potential. Our new AI-enabled tutoring platform will deliver measurable impact to our students and allow us to meet the educational challenges we face today.”

A report published by Georgetown University in January 2024, titled “Learning Curve: Lessons from the Tutoring Revolution in Public Education,” highlights the positive impact of personalized tutoring within K–12 education and the critical need to deploy it at scale to meet the significant portion of students lacking sufficient academic support. Imagine Learning’s platform bridges this gap through key features like:

• AI-enhanced tutoring with human guidance: Imagine Learning’s AI-driven communication system enables real-time, on-demand tutoring support accessible anytime, anywhere — adjusting to each student’s learning level, interests, and preferred language — to promote an interactive educational space. Alongside our AI capabilities, human tutors play a crucial role in guiding and enhancing the learning experience. They review AI recommendations and feedback, ensuring accuracy and relevance. This blend of AI efficiency with educator expertise highlights our commitment to a balanced, human-in-the-loop approach to personalized learning.
• Interactive learning through AI-powered teaching: this feature allows students to play the role of teacher and explain concepts. This engaging interaction boosts learner knowledge and hones communication skills. By asking targeted questions and seeking clarifications, the AI-powered companion adjusts to the student’s explanations to foster a nurturing space for learning through teaching.

“The tutoring solution has the ability to transform learning for our students,” said Kinsey Rawe, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Courseware & School Services. “With personalized support and an engaging experience, we’ve seen remarkable improvements in performance and motivation.”

The AI-enabled tutoring platform is set to enhance a range of Imagine Learning’s offerings, including Imagine Edgenuity^®, Imagine EdgeEX, Imagine MyPath^®, and Imagine Math^®, and is currently being piloted within Imagine Learning Illustrative Mathematics. This integration marks another significant milestone in Imagine Learning’s journey toward leading educational innovation, utilizing technology to support a future-ready generation.

Imagine Learning is committed to leveraging generative AI to support educators and enhance the educational experience of students. These advances are made with a deep commitment to ethical standards, focusing on protecting privacy, ensuring fairness, and creating an unbiased learning environment.
