Don’t Teach and Test...
Online education has systemized the least effective practices of classroom instruction, broadcasting information then testing for comprehension. We challenged this passive paradigm in a 2017 study that taught Probability and Statistics to learners via three different platforms: Quantic (the same platform that powers Valar), edX, and Khan Academy.
Time spent on our platform was one third of what other participants spent learning the same curriculum and our learners reported higher levels of engagement. When tested on the subject matter, Quantic learners had higher mean exam scores, while learners in rival programs were 5x more likely to score below 50%.
