Shift iQ, developed by InSite Information Systems, is an adaptive learning technology solution that identifies an individual’s existing skills, often referred to as competencies, and delivers personalized learning pathways to expedite the journey from learning acquisition to mastery.

Shift iQ integrates skills frameworks throughout its functional Toolkits, enabling simple management of skills linked to assessments and learning activities. Shift iQ supports both traditional and innovative education methods, allowing users to place assessments at the start of the learning process. This leads to adaptive learning through individualized plans based on a learner’s engagement with the initial assessment.

Administrators, including instructors, subject matter experts, and instructional designers can use the Courses Toolkit to create engaging adaptive course content. Learning assets (lessons, embedded documents, SCORM packages, integrated H5P content, videos, surveys, etc.) can be linked to skills frameworks, and highly configurable prerequisites can be configured to release content based on a learner’s engagement with assessments. This means two individuals engaging in the same course may have significantly different learning paths, but the result is the same – learning mastery.

Designed for all learners, especially those seeking to expedite their learning journey and gain verifiable credentials, Shift iQ is a transformative adaptive learning technology with the potential to reshape education. It enables learners to leverage their existing skills to gain credentials faster and enter the workforce with highly relevant and verifiable skills. For these reasons and more, Shift iQ by InSite Information Systems earned Cool Tool Awards (Finalists) for “Best Adaptive Technology Solution,” “Best Professional Development Learning Solution,” “Best Professional Skills (Workforce, Upskilling) Solution,” and “Best Testing & Assessment Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2024 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.

Here’s an adaptive, interactive video streaming program for middle school and high school students. Never passive and highly interactive, every MATHstream lesson is taught by a dynamic “math influencer” who breaks down concepts in an encouraging, game-based environment. Lessons adapt to students in real time, motivating them to test new skills and outperform themselves, while teachers can easily track student progress. It’s a flexible solution that works with any math classroom; students take a deeper dive into math concepts anytime, anywhere. MATHstream uses adaptive learning paths to help students improve where they need it most and accelerate when they’re ready. Students don’t just watch—they participate in embedded exercises and game-based activities that are fun, encouraging, and proven effective. 

MATHstream is engaging for students, effortless for teachers, and standards-aligned to improve classroom and school-wide performance. Game-based lessons keep students engaged and motivated, and help them develop a love of math; students build their skills and make progress in a reaffirming and low-risk environment that relieves math anxiety; it’s also very personalized: adaptive learning paths ensure students get extra instruction and practice where they need it most. 

For teachers, there are plenty of on-demand videos available anytime, anywhere and help in instances of student or teacher absences; it saves them time: teachers can focus more on collaborative exercises and classroom activities while MATHstream supports personalized learning; the platform also provides more insights: formative skills assessments track student progress and performance.

This solution works as a supplemental solution in any math classroom, it can be used for schools and districts with teacher shortages, and offers on-demand instruction to extend the reach of existing teachers and support students when certified teachers are not available. A mix of conceptual and skills-based lessons are aligned to math standards and help with remediation, acceleration, and advancing students on or above grade level. For these reasons and more, MATHstream from Carnegie Learning is a Cool Tool Award Winner for “Best Video-Based Learning Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2024 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
