"Learning by rote is a critical part of many academic fields," said Blaine Vess, Co-Founder and CEO of StudyMode. "There's just no way around it; kids have to memorize their multiplication tables, history students have to memorize dates and language scholars have to memorize verb conjugations. But it doesn't have to be tedious. At StudyMode, we develop ed-tech solutions to help students succeed. Jewels of Wisdom takes the process of rote learning and makes it interactive, engaging and entertaining."
