We are striving to be best at combining technology and pedagogy and our vision is to radically improve learning for all students around the globe. Today, over 1000 schools use Kognity in over 100 countries. 

The price of Kognity varies depending on the number of students you have and the subscription type that you choose. A Kognity subscription is charged per student, per year. Teachers are always free.

Kognity currently offers 25 IB Diploma Programme subjects, 15 Cambridge IGCSE™ subjects and all 3 NGSS subjects.

There are multiple embedded formative assessment opportunities within Kognity. Students can complete strength questions (fill in the blank & multiple choice questions) in the practice center and embedded throughout the modules (called 'Knowledge checks'). These automarked questions support knowledge and comprehension. There are also Activity suggestions and Investigations (2 per module), which are intended to provide opportunities for the student to demonstrate skills and higher order thinking. The Investigations act as an extension or transfer task (recommended to be taken at the end of a module – after 'Evaluate'). Additionally, each module ends with a space called 'Your reflections': students can record their thoughts on what they understand, or what they want to know, and then submit these to the teacher. The teacher can then evaluate the depth and potential of their thinking.

Kognity has an immersive reader feature which allows students to listen to text out loud, translate text into 150 different languages, and change font size, color and background color, along with similar supporting tools.rnrnEmbedded interactive language scaffolds, along with multiple disciplinary tools, support those students that may struggle with language. Multiple entry points provide additional support for different learning styles.
