Learnvia makes
great teaching easier
Our free, research-based courseware and support helps faculty engage students and improve learning outcomes.
A nonprofit collaborative created with Carnegie Mellon University, Learnvia brings educators and researchers together to turn the science of learning into classroom practice.
Learnvia’s innovative new courseware is an all-in-one solution for gateway math courses, combining interactive lessons, homework, quizzes, discussion forums, and a built-in AI tutor in one digital environment. Designed to complement in-class teaching, it saves faculty time while supporting students in building both conceptual understanding and procedural fluency.
Learnvia’s new, purpose-built math courseware helps faculty integrate proven, research-based teaching and learning practices that deliver improved student success—whether used before class for preparation, during class for active learning, or after class for practice and reinforcement.
Before Class
Students complete short lessons that balance big ideas with calculation practice, either before class or after class.
In-Class
Learnvia supports active learning with interactive, animated figures and embedded visual elements that transform lectures into engaging, participatory experiences.
Post-Class
Learnvia’s homeworks capability reinforces in-class learning through scaffolded, feedback-rich practice that promotes mastery and persistence.
How Learnvia Supports Great Teaching
Maximize Instructional Time
A consistent weekly routine of lessons, homework, and quizzes promotes steady practice, deepens comprehension, builds fluency, and helps ensure students arrive prepared for higher-level problem solving in class.
Streamline Assessment
Auto-graded assignments and activities provide targeted feedback to students and save faculty time on routine, repetitive assessment tasks.
Gain Clearer Insights
Dashboards and performance data reveal where students struggle, enabling timely and focused interventions.
Support Active Learning
Integrated tools for in-class activities work effectively in both small and large class settings.
Preserve Instructional Control
Faculty set the content, pacing, and course structure to match their teaching approach.
Responsive, Reliable Support
Technical issues are handled by Learnvia, with fast turnaround on fixes guided by faculty feedback.
Authored and Engineered by Faculty, for Faculty
Instructional Tools Informed by Classroom Practice
Developed by faculty for faculty, Learnvia integrates the latest learning science with real classroom practice. Every element—chunked lessons, scaffolded assignments, interactive practice, and aligned assessments—is custom-built to be research-focused, community-driven, and supported by a dedicated in-house team, all with a faculty-to-faculty design ethos.
Students learn through short, scaffolded activities that build incrementally and are reinforced by auto-graded practice, solutions, and unlimited retries. A content-aware AI tutor and connected discussion forum provide timely help, while the courseware balances conceptual understanding with procedural fluency.
For faculty, flexible course configurations and ready-to-use templates make it simple to align Learnvia with a syllabus, ensuring students are supported from the first lesson through the final exam.

A New Standard for Courseware
Redefining Courseware Publishing
Learnvia represents a new model for courseware publishing—one focused on solving real classroom challenges. As a nonprofit, Learnvia develops both its technology and its content in-house so pedagogy and platform evolve together. Every decision is shaped by evidence and faculty input, resulting in courseware that responds directly to instructors’ needs and helps more students succeed.
Student Experience
Short, scaffolded modules break concepts into focused 10-minute activities. Each activity is interactive and provides immediate feedback. A content-aware AI tutor offers help at the moment of confusion, while auto-graded homework and practice quizzes promote mastery through unlimited retries and solution paths.
Faculty Experience
By automating routine grading and feedback processes, Learnvia reduces faculty workload associated with repetitive tasks. Faculty instead receive timely indicators of student performance, allowing them to use class time for targeted support and more active, in-class mathematics instruction.
Student Outcomes
Gateway math courses carry some of the highest enrollment and failure rates, too often serving as roadblocks rather than runways for students pursuing their degrees. Learnvia shifts that pattern by keeping more students engaged, helping them complete assignments, build mastery, and earn credit—leading to fewer false starts and greater confidence in their ability to succeed in later courses.
Faculty & Institutional Outcomes
Teaching outcomes improve when grading, reporting, and course setup no longer consume disproportionate time. With those tasks streamlined, faculty can direct instruction where it’s most needed, supported by real-time insight into student challenges. At the institutional level, this efficiency results in fewer course repeats, stronger progression through gateway math, and better student outcomes.
