Personalized Retentive Learning Model
We recognize that each learner is different and has unique needs. To meet learners where they are and keep them at their learning frontiers, Pictoword School uses adaptive, personalized technology. Our algorithm uses gameplay data of more than 80,000 users to predict a student's engagement level. When our algorithm detects that a student is disengaged, we serve puzzles that re-engages them in the program while also reinforcing their areas of growth.
