Transforming Education Through
Research-Driven Innovation
Gooru's approach to personalized learning is built on 14 years of research with $35M in funding across 110 projects serving 5.3M users globally. Our research initiatives continuously inform and enhance our AI-powered personalization technology, creating a virtuous cycle of innovation and impact.
MyGooru's breakthrough N=1 personalization technology evolved through rigorous research across diverse learning environments. By treating learners as complex systems rather than collections of fixed attributes, we've developed mathematical models that capture the true nature of human learning and development.
Unlike traditional educational research that can take years to impact practice, our integrated approach enables continuous refinement of personalization algorithms based on real-world implementation. This research foundation has led to remarkable outcomes, including 2.8x improvement in learning compared to national norms and significant gains in engagement and retention across diverse contexts.
Three Key Research Initiatives
Research-Practice Exchange
The Research-Practice Exchange (RPE) creates a dynamic bridge between research and practice in university settings. This innovative framework transforms how universities develop, validate, and implement learning innovations by providing both personalized experiences for participants and automation of core processes.
Universities can establish an RPE to connect researchers with authentic learning environments, gather rich implementation data, and scale validated discoveries to broad populations. This approach accelerates the traditional research-to-practice cycle while providing unprecedented insights into complex learning dynamics.
Navigated Learning Collaborative
The Navigated Learning Collaborative (NLC) taps into the collective intelligence of the global learning ecosystem to enhance personalized education. This community brings together schools, researchers, content providers, and tool developers to continuously refine and validate the MyGooru platform through systematic collaboration.
The collaborative is guided by core principles that enable each participant to pursue individual goals while contributing to the broader mission of personalized learning for all. Through structured processes for innovation, validation, and implementation, the NLC creates a sustainable ecosystem for continuous improvement.
MyGooru for Nonprofits
MyGooru for Nonprofits brings research-validated personalized learning to underserved communities worldwide. Through philanthropic partnerships, we implement MyGooru across diverse contexts—from rural schools to workforce development initiatives—ensuring that quality personalized education reaches all learners regardless of resource constraints.
Our nonprofit implementations have demonstrated how personalized learning can address critical educational challenges in resource-constrained environments while producing measurable improvements in learning outcomes, engagement, and efficiency.
