Lauralearners

An adaptive learning platform designed for K-12 education that dynamically tailors instructional content, pacing, and assessment to individual student needs.

Why This Project Exists

In most K–12 classrooms, one teacher is responsible for 25 to 35 students who arrive with very different levels of preparation. A single lesson moves too fast for some students and too slowly for others. Adaptive learning can help address that gap, but many high-quality adaptive tools are proprietary, expensive, and out of reach for under-resourced schools.

Laura Learning is built to change that. It is free and open source, so schools, districts, teachers, researchers, and developers can use, study, adapt, and improve it without licensing costs.

What It Does

• Adaptive content: Selects lessons, examples, and practice problems based on each student's current mastery.

• Personalized pacing: Lets students move ahead when they are ready and provides additional support when needed.

• Responsive assessment: Adjusts question difficulty based on student performance to better measure what a student understands.

• Teacher insight: Gives teachers a clear view of individual student and class progress to support targeted instruction.

  Our Open-Source Mission

Equity of Access

The core platform is and will remain free under the Apache 2.0 license, so cost is not a barrier for public schools, Title I schools, under-resourced schools, or schools in developing regions.

Transparency

Educators and families should be able to understand how the platform makes decisions about a student's learning path.

Community-Driven Improvement

Teachers, researchers, instructional designers, and developers can contribute content, models, research, documentation, and features that benefit the broader educational community.

Classroom-Grounded Design

The platform is shaped by authentic K–12 classroom needs and teaching experience.

Roadmap

Phase 1: Core Platform

• Student mastery model and adaptive practice engine
• Initial content library, starting with secondary mathematics
• Basic teacher dashboard

Phase 2: Classroom Pilots

• Pilot use with partner teachers and schools
• Measure learning outcomes and refine the adaptive model
• Accessibility improvements
• Multilingual support

Phase 3: Scale and Sustainability

• Expand to additional subjects and grade levels
• Develop tools for districts to deploy and manage the platform
• Develop optional hosted and support services for schools that want them
• Maintain the core platform as free and open source

Getting Started

Setup instructions will be added as the first release becomes available.
