G.Venkat, Founder and CEO of bitWise Academy, believes that all students want to be active learners rather than passive recipients of information. As parents and educators, we should respect each student’s unique learning style. This personalized focus is difficult in large class sizes that follow a traditional curriculum. That is where online education fits in. With so many e-learning platforms available today, many online EdTech sites feature a “one-size-fits-all” learning model that delivers content in a similar way to most classroom settings. The true essence of e-learning platforms should consider factors such as age, ability, and varied learning patterns of students; however, without a dynamic learning environment, most online learners tend to become distracted, disinterested, or simply unmotivated to continue. bitWise developed a solution to solve this problem. Venkat suggests that, “in order to face these online learning challenges, we need to effectively harness the capability of artificial intelligence (AI) to prevent students from becoming lost in the material and losing sight of the fun of learning.” Venkat believes that, “Adapting and personalizing educational content to each studentis key –and this is the heart of bitWise’s mission.” It is bitWise’s vision to bring interdisciplinary computer science and STEM education to every child, teenager, and young adult to prepare them for future careers in a highly-technical future job market.

There are three main components that comprise the bitWise solution. First, at the core of the offering is the cutting-edge adaptive learning management platform that delivers an interactive and immersive environment for the delivery of emerging technologies and STEM courses while tracking the individual progress of each student to customize the learning experience. Second, this data is analyzed via bitWise’s unique byteSMART^TM AI engine that interprets and reports on each learner’s individualized performance level.
