Company – Change education, the way people learn, and even change the world. Without being too pretentious about it, that’s our mission. So we’ve built what we believe is an amazing learning device – the textbook of the future – to accomplish that. But we didn’t drop everything. The textbook of the future embodies a lot of what we know and have always loved about the textbook of the past.
Manifesto
Kno is a digital textbook - and we use the term loosely - that is about to change the way knowledge is transmitted and the way students learn. We started Kno from a tabula rasa - a blank slate - to create a new slate.
First we did our homework about the way students do their homework. We studied the way they study. And we probed them about the best way to re-imagine the analog studying and reading experience in the digital world. More»
