"This represents a huge leap forward for education content," says Caleb Schutz, President and CEO of Avoca Learning. "There is an explosion of digital content for education, both in the amount that's available, and in the demand for quality content. The sheer volume of information makes it hard to find what you're searching for, but it also makes it difficult to organize that content for personalized learning experiences. Avoca Learning helps to solve that problem by finding and indexing the best digital content, allowing users to organize and save that content, and then making it easy to share that curated content with other users."  

At launch, the Avoca Learning Platform has over 20,000 resources in Math and Science from 35 leading education sites. Over the next few months, Avoca will provide thousands more resources in additional subject areas including Language Arts/Reading, and History/Social Studies. Users will be able to search by subject, grade, Common Core standard and more.
