Dive Brief:

• Knewton this week announced a deal with Santillana, Latin America's most prominent K-12 publisher, that will create adaptive learning tools in Spanish and Portuguese.
• The new tools will feature personalized learning materials for K-12 students and predictive analytics for educators.
• The duo's first collaboration will be curriculum materials for high school math classes, available in Spring 2015.

Dive Insight:

Knewton is once again spreading the reach of its adaptive learning tools. To recap this year's deals in particular: January saw Cengage Learning incorporate Knewton's API into its higher education Management and Sociology products on the MindTap platform, while March saw it join forces with Turkish publisher Sebit. In April, Sanoma Learning partnered with Knewton to spread its adaptive learning solutions to Europe, and in June, an Elsevier partnership promised personalized learning solutions for nursing, health professions, and medical students. 

It's clear adaptive learning is not only a hot tool in education circles these days, and Knewton has clearly cemented its status as a knowledgeable partner for companies trying to update and expand their personalized learning toolboxes.  

“The expertise and knowledge of Knewton will provide us a long-term strategy to develop cutting-edge adaptive learning products across our portfolio, for every country we serve,” Santillana CDO Miguel Barrero said in a press release. “With Knewton, we can offer highly individualized and continuously updated recommendations for what students should study, while providing educators with powerful data and actionable analytics to better support each student.”
