What Knewton Alta is

Knewton Alta is web-based adaptive courseware that personalizes learning from student performance. It continuously monitors mastery and changes the learning experience as students interact with course material. Instructional text, videos, examples, and assessments are organized by learning objective, with immediate detailed explanations after answers whether they are correct or incorrect. When students struggle, Alta can revisit prerequisite concepts through just-in-time remediation. Instructors select course objectives and customize the content students see. Dashboards show progress, learning patterns, at-risk students, and test readiness. Course areas include biology, chemistry, economics, mathematics, physics, psychology, and statistics. Wiley describes LMS integration, including Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle among its learning platform integrations, and says the technology, content, and experience strive toward WCAG 2.2 A/AA support. Listed options include $10.95 per month, $44.95 per single term, and $89.95 for two years in one discipline.
