Knowness helps students learn, practise, revise, and track their progress in one place. Backed by the University of Birmingham, Knowness combines structured learning with proven learning science to help students build knowledge that lasts.
Students work through structured courses containing lessons, diagrams, summaries, flashcards, and exercises. As they learn, Knowness encourages active recall and automatically brings material back for revision over time.
The platform is built on over 50 years of established learning science principles, including retrieval practice, spaced practice, interleaving, dual coding, concrete examples and elaboration.
Students can:
- Learn: Work through structured courses aligned to their subjects, using flashcards and exercises to actively recall and apply knowledge.
- Revise: Review material at the right time using personalised spaced practice.
- Track progress: Monitor course completion, proficiency, learning time, and other progress indicators.
- Use study tools: Access tools such as Notebook, Calendar, Timer, Calculator, Code, Whiteboard, and Tutor.
Teachers can also use Knowness to manage classes, assign work, monitor engagement, and track student progress.
Knowness connects learning, practice, revision, and progress so students can focus on studying without having to organise the entire process themselves.
