Kognity

Interactive digital textbooks with real-time analytics

Overview

Kognity is an educational technology company that offers interactive digital textbooks for high school students, especially covering IB and IGCSE curricula. Its subscription-based platform gives schools access to digital resources that include quizzes, videos, and real-time analytics to help teachers monitor student progress and adapt instruction.
