ACT English Test Prep ~ Punctuation, Grammar, and Usage (by Grockit)
Pinterest meets education...sort of
A few months back I wrote about Pinterest and its influence on e-commerce. Now it seems it is influencing some of the educational startups.
Now, Learnist is a Pinterest-style site which enables users to collate online resources by theme. The brainchild of social learning company Grockit, Learnist allows its users to create Learnboards, to which they can add images, videos and links to web content that fits their subject. (via Springwise)
[Invest] Grockit lève 7M$ pour rendre l'apprentissage plus addictif
Essayer de reprendre les mécanismes "d'addiction" de Farmville et Facebook pour favoriser l'apprentissage ? Tel est le pari de Grockit, une entreprise californienne qui vient de lever 7 millions de Dollars. Pour se faire on a droit à une connexion à son profil Facebook, des sessions de travail avec chat, et même des gains d'XP.
L'investissement a été menée par Atlas Venture (déjà investisseur) et notamment suivi par NewSchools Venture Fund ainsi que Michael Moe de GSV Capital.
L'avis Startup Explorer : Grockit semble sur la bonne voie, avec un grand nombre d'utilisateurs et une base de connaissance très importante. En revanche le "modèle Farmville" est encore très loin d'être aussi bien abouti que dans les innombrables jeux sociaux qui envahissent notre vie.

The Verdict:
Grockit provides a decent service at a reasonable price for the math and writing sections of the SAT, but it falls short on the reading comprehension questions. Since the infrastructure is quite good, a little quality control on content would go a long way towards improving the product in all three subjects. Grockit is not a suitable substitute for assiduous Blue Book work, but if you're looking for a low-cost, fun way to get some extra math and writing practice, you could do worse. Stay away from Grockit's reading comprehension practice.
