Knewton is an adaptive learning technology company founded in 2008 in New York City and acquired by John Wiley & Sons in 2019, where it now ships as the Knewton alta courseware line. Its developer-facing product is the Knewton Enterprise Platform API, documented at dev.knewton.com, which lets partner learning applications send learner interaction and performance data to Knewton and receive continuously personalized content recommendations and predictive analytics in return. The platform maps the pedagogical relationships between concepts in a partner catalog into a knowledge graph, then uses it to recommend modules, track goal status and progress, and generate predicted scores. The REST API is versioned at v0, uses OAuth 2.0 client-credentials tokens, and exposes accounts, learning instances, registrations, scoped goals, graded and ungraded student events, recommendations, status-and-progress metrics, and predicted score.
