Wednesday, October 21st we will meet in the LearnCentral public Elluminate room at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern time: []

Alasdair will be talking about Guaranteach, an educational startup which he co-founded last year with George Tattersfield. Guaranteach is an online tutor that uses a huge library of teacher-created videos and some adaptive algorithms to try and replicate a human tutor.

Guaranteach seeks to understand each student's learning preferences, so that it can determine the best way to teach each student. For every one of the 3,000 topics that cover K-12 math, Guaranteach has between 8-10 different lessons to teach the topic - so whether you're a visual learner, an abstract student, or you like to be taught by funny, female teachers between the age of 24-29, Guaranteach has a lesson for you.

While the service is currently being used (in a fully commercial capacity) in a variety of schools, Guaranteach is beginning a 6-month project to pilot the service in a number of schools across the country with the explicit goal of measuring the educational benefits of offering individualized (differentiated) instruction to students which can be used both in the classroom and at-home.
