Mastery-Based Progression
Gone are the passive approaches of video-based talking heads and long-winded prose. Instead, Quantic lessons constantly challenge learners, requiring frequent interactions to advance in the lesson. As every 5-10 minute lesson builds on prior lessons, students test their understanding while confronting new course material in a mastery-based progression of learning that ensures student advancement.
Don’t Teach and Test...
Online education has systemized the least effective practices of classroom instruction, broadcasting information then testing for student comprehension. We challenged this passive paradigm in a 2017 study that taught Probability and Statistics to learners via three different platforms: Quantic, edX, and Khan Academy. Time spent on our platform was one third of what other participants spent learning the same curriculum and Quantic learners reported higher levels of engagement compared to incumbents. 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%.

...Test to Teach!
With Active Learning, our courseware immediately challenges the student to think as the protagonist. We’re not a lecturer, but rather a mentor and tutor, providing activities where students engage, making decisions with immediate feedback. We test not to confirm comprehension but rather as an opportunity to teach.
