Smart Sparrow Launches Learning Design Studio

Adaptive learning company Smart Sparrow has launched the Learning Design Studio, a team of learning designers, engineers and user experience and graphic designers who will work with faculty to turn traditional courses into dynamic learning experiences.

"The Smart Sparrow Learning Design Studio partners with higher education institutions and corporations to deliver visually engaging, interactive courses," according to a news release. "The Studio supports innovative educators directly, partnering with in-house instructional design teams, or managing the entire creation process for institutions. Rooted in exceptional learning science, the courses designed in partnership with the Studio provide educators with data, analysis and actionable insights that can better inform instruction."

"Educators already know what kinds of activities and experiences inspire and engage students. Our goal is help them leverage technology to get there," said Dror Ben-Naim, founder and CEO of Smart Sparrow, in a prepared statement. "Our studio was established to help educators design the courses they want for the digital era. In the past, technology has demanded that academics adhere to its limitations. Now, we're reversing the trend by putting academics in control."
