Vallejo, CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2014
Today educational technology startup Lrnr Adaptive Learning Solutions (Pochys Ventures, Inc.) announced a partnership with OpenStax College to distribute OpenStax College textbooks on the Lrnr Adaptive Learning Platform where the content is personalized for each student.
Lrnr enables content publishers like OpenStax College to provide learning content that automatically adapts to all types of students, enabling them to learn more and achieve better outcomes. The Lrnr platform also provides actionable analytics that help instructors provide exactly the type of remediation each student needs.
Lrnr is a content agnostic, cloud-based educational content delivery, personalization and analytics platform that integrates textbooks with intuitive personal learning tools, adaptive assessments, individualized learning paths and precise analytics to deliver personalized learning experiences that make studying and learning more efficient, effective and engaging.

Closing the book on one-size-fits-all education
Lrnr’s Founder and CEO Aravind Pochiraju said, “OpenStax College textbooks have been adopted for use at nearly 1,000 colleges, and universities and high schools around the world, so our partnership opens up a large market for Lrnr’s adaptive learning platform.”
Mr. Pochiraju added that “The current one-size-fits-all approach to education doesn't work well. Everybody is unique, so we aim to provide personalized learning for everyone. We’re focused on providing robust, practical, cost-effective solutions for adaptive learning that deliver measurably superior results. But what really excites us is the amazingly positive outcomes that personalized learning experiences make possible. Lrnr enables students to learn more, faster and easier, at their own pace and in their own individual way.”
David Harris, Editorial Director at OpenStax College said, “Our partnership with Lrnr is further evidence of a rapidly expanding ecosystem of partners around open content that is providing a greater choice of learning resources for faculty and students than ever before.”
