Personal Learning Steward

What if each learner had a companion that grew along with them and became their trusted learning confidant? The AI-powered personal learning steward develops with a learner, accumulating knowledge, competencies and experiences and acting as a personal learning advocate, tutor and partner. Each personal learning steward leverages machine learning and algorithms to curate learning resources, experiences, supports and assessments based on a young person’s learning goals and developmental needs.
