As K-12 educators apply lessons learned from the pandemic, stakeholders rely more on remote learning and look to innovations brought by FocalPoint Education and ClassLink.
ATLANTA, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today FocalPoint Education, (focalpoint.education) a successful edtech innovation firm announced their new strategic partnership with ClassLink, (classlink.com) a leader in single sign-on, class rostering, learning resource analytics, and account provisioning solutions. The new partnership provides greater access to FocalPoint's LearningTree AI-empowered adaptive learning LMS through ClassLink's App Library, extending FocalPoint's wide SSO (single sign-on) capabilities to an even larger spectrum of solutions. ClassLink's customers will see FocalPoint's SSO tile to click for easier access, the same as FocalPoint's existing clients do today.
"This is exciting stuff," says Kiran Athota, CEO of FocalPoint Education. "LearningTree uses xAPI data and AI to create true adaptive learning pathways based on each students' proficiencies. Our ClassLink partnership furthers our strategy to provide education and strategic content partners the full spectrum of FocalPoint's solutions seamlessly."
The LearningTree solution is used extensively by both education agencies and strategic partners. It represents a complete re-thinking of the underlying technology used in most e-learning LMS and assessment platforms. The LearningTree technology represents an extraordinary advance in learning experiences, replacing a traditional architecture that originated in the 1990s when the LMS was invented to manage the distribution of curriculum. "Newer LMS solutions show significant evolution and improvement, yet they are built on an old foundation," says Randall Dennis, FocalPoint's Chief Strategy Officer. "The old foundations are 'long in the tooth' and struggle to sustain the needs of education in a post pandemic reality. Kiran Athota and LearningTree helps partners build a fresher, stronger foundation."
