1. Technology overview
Learnosity is an assessment technology company founded in 2007 by Gavin Cooney and Mark Lynch, with its first office in Sydney, Australia, and current headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, alongside an engineering team in Sydney and a US office in New York. The company was built to give other software providers a ready-made assessment engine, so they would not need to build item authoring, delivery and scoring infrastructure from scratch.
Its core product, Learnosity Build, is a set of assessment APIs supporting more than 50 question types that customers embed into their own learning platforms, complemented by Feedback Aide for AI-assisted essay scoring, Learnosity Math for equation-based questions, and an Item Bank Health Check tool for reviewing question quality. Clients embedding Learnosity include education publishers and edtech platforms such as Pearson, HMH and College Board across more than 40 countries.
