Knowness translates established principles from cognitive and learning neuroscience into the way students learn, practice, and revisit every course.

Explore the learning science
  • Flashcards prompt students to actively recall key facts, concepts, and ideas as they progress through a course.
  • Exercises require students to apply what they have learned, strengthening understanding through problem-solving and active use of knowledge.
  • Every concept and idea in a course is supported by corresponding Flashcards and Exercises, ensuring students repeatedly retrieve and apply material without leaving gaps in their knowledge.
  • All Flashcards and Exercises are automatically marked using human-written answers and feedback alongside AI.
  • Knowness’ Spaced Practice Algorithm tracks how well each student knows every Flashcard and Exercise, and automatically schedules when each should be revisited.
  • Material the student finds difficult is reviewed sooner, while material they know well is reviewed at increasingly longer intervals.
  • Completed Flashcards and Exercises appear in the course’s Revision Tab, where students can see their course proficiency and what is due for review.
  • Knowness’ Spaced Practice Algorithm varies the order of Flashcards and Exercises and can combine material from different lessons and courses.
  • Flashcards and Exercises are mixed, requiring students to switch between tasks such as recalling facts, solving problems, and writing explanations.
  • The Deck Manager allows students to create custom revision decks containing Flashcards and Exercises from any combination of lessons or courses.
  • Knowness courses make extensive use of professionally made plots, figures, diagrams, and other visual representations to support explanations and reinforce key concepts.
  • The Notes and Whiteboard features allow students to create, draw, and save their own diagrams, annotations, and visual notes as they work through a course.
  • Knowness courses explain concepts alongside specific examples, worked examples, and real-world applications, helping make abstract ideas easier to understand.
  • Optional Examples and Case Studies show the same concepts applied in different contexts, helping students deepen their understanding and recognise how ideas transfer to new situations.
  • Analogies connect unfamiliar concepts to more familiar ones and help students make new connections between ideas.
  • The automated feedback provided when Flashcards and Exercises are answered is designed to help identify gaps in students’ reasoning and improve their answers.
  • Knowness’ Spaced Practice Algorithm regularly brings previously learned material back into revision, helping students connect new ideas with knowledge they have already encountered.

FOR STUDENTS

Know what to learn, practice, and revisit next.

Students move through one connected course experience that turns effective study habits into a clear and manageable routine.

Structured course learning

Move through clear explanations supported by professional visuals, examples, case studies and analogies.

Active practice and feedback

Use Flashcards and Exercises throughout each course to actively retrieve, apply, and improve knowledge.

Personalised revision

The Spaced Practice Algorithm will monitor your proficiency in each Flashcard and Exercise, and we will prompt you to redo them when it is best for your learning.

Track your progress

Keep track and gamify your progress and proficiency per Flashcard or Exercise through intuitive graphs and metrics.

FOR TEACHERS

Turn student activity into clear next steps.

Knowness brings class activity, individual progress and assignments so teachers can see where support will have the greatest effect.

Class analytics

See engagement, learning time, completion, and proficiency distribution across a class at a glance.

Individual student progress

Open a student’s course progress to review lesson completion, proficiency, activity, and streak data.

Assignments

Assign course lessons for students to complete as assignments and follow their progress.
