Hypothesis:

Engineering study groups, 3 times over the course of the semester, will improve:
+ student performance
+ teacher engagement
+ student’s preference toward smarter study groups going forward

Testing

Group involvement, now easier than ever.

The UMN classes were re-engineered, as shown in the video. Note that NO other interventions were taken in order to prove the impact of just tweaking study groups.

To do this yourself, here are our current Quick Connectors. Leveraging research, machine learning and social graphs, we are continually building new connectors to address intelligent team creation needs.

Education and networks will forever be linked
