MindEdge was founded in 1998 by Harvard & MIT educators with the premise that learning should be engaging, interactive, and adaptive for learners, significantly more affordable than current course content (whether online or in the classroom), and completely customizable for the faculty and the curricula that they want to follow. Our goal is to allow faculty to do what they do best: to teach, while at the same time providing them the tools to monitor students' level of engagement and understanding in real time. The results for our partners and their learners have been phenomenal.
