Higher Education’s First Active Learning Platform. Civitas Learning. Autism Expressed - Digital Skills for Adolescents with Autism. Kno Expands Beyond College, Partners With Houghton Mifflin To Bring Digital Textbooks To K-12. Founded in 2009, Kno began its career with ambitious plans to disrupt education with a little mobile hardware — by developing a tablet that was tailor-made for students.
Unfortunately, thanks to the meteoric rise of the iPad and, later, Apple’s big re-entry into the textbook arena with iBooks 2, Kno’s hardware efforts didn’t pan out. Beginning early last year, the startup pivoted towards a more agnostic solution, creating an educational software platform and app to bring interactive textbooks to the college crowd. Of course, with nearly $80 million raised from investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Mike Maples and Ron Conway, there’s more pressure on Kno to generate growth (and revenue) than there is on your average edtech startup.

Looking to rethink the resume, a startup called Seelio is opening its doors today to anyone with a .edu email address.
The company, which spun out of an existing service called TruApp, wants to offer college students a better way to showcase their work via online portfolios which employers and recruiters alike can browse through and search by keyword. Upon finding a potential candidate, employers can then use Seelio to communicate directly with the student in question. Where Learning Happens. Ask. Answer. Explore. Whenever.

Sorry, teachers, it’s not for you. Yet. A number of startups have emerged in the last year looking to dethrone the old guards of higher education technology, like Blackboard. Yet, while many educational platforms are limited in what they offer students, focusing instead on building tools for educators and teachers, one startup is taking an alternative (or, in its own words, “populist”) approach. The startup believes that it can do just as much to benefit the learning process and boost student retention and performance by focusing its efforts on providing them with an educational platform that offers live, interactive studying and sharing. So, the team set out to build a social platform that gives students the ability to take notes in class, submit homework assignments and collaborate on projects in real time through live audio and video chat.

Accel Partners is leading a $1.8 million investment in Collegefeed, a service that combines crowdsourcing with social networking to connect students with each other and potential employers.
Collegefeed uses data as the foundation of its service. It offers a Facebook-like news feed where students can access tuition help, job opportunities, interview-preparation help and access to alumni and mentors. And last month, the company launched a recommendation tool. With algorithms and crowdsourced data from CrunchBase, AngelList and other sources, the service makes recommendations about what employers and students should be interested in. Over time, it will recommend particular jobs and similar people based on their own profiles and other data. As the network grows, it will connect students in a variety of ways, including how they compare competitively to their colleagues across shared interests. It also offers unique packages such as its award service that it plans to launch in September. Collegefeed connect. Find Your Teacher For Music Lessons, Academic Tutoring & More.

Clever Gets $10 Million From Sequoia To Provide A Standardized API For School Data. Clever launched about a year and a half ago to provide a standardized API for K-12 schools that allows them to unlock and share data with outside developers.
It’s managed to get 10,000 schools signed up to use its tools since then. Now, according to our sources, the company has raised $10 million in funding led by Sequoia Capital. The funding comes as Clever is finding ways to make schools more connected and accessible for developers. Most schools today use a variety of legacy Student Information Systems (SIS) as a way to store student data. But many of those systems tend to be outdated or custom-built, meaning that the information held within — which includes class lists, attendance, and grades — can’t be shared or accessed by outside developers.
