Great News! Interact Honored by Wharton, QS as Top Innovative E-Learning Platform
Check out our free Interact™ demo here.
We started our week in Philadelphia. No, we weren’t eating cheesesteaks or trying to steal the Declaration of Independence—we were at the Reimagine Education Conference & Awards 2016!
Our on-demand, innovative e-learning platform for the GMAT and LSAT, Interact™, was shortlisted for the Digital Content Award, which recognizes innovative digital learning solutions. We put a lot of thought and hard work into figuring out what students needed in a self-study platform, and we’re thrilled that our efforts were recognized.
The Reimagine Education Conference & Awards are organized by career and education network QS in collaboration with the esteemed Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania’s SEI Center for Advanced Studies in Management. Created to reimagine traditional, expensive, sometimes inaccessible education, the Awards honor “innovative education pedagogies enhancing learning and employability.” Their panel of 40 elite judges and group of distinguished speakers include innovators from organizations such as Google, Microsoft, and Harvard.
Out of 527 submissions, Interact was one of 120 shortlisted projects.
Noah Teitelbaum, our VP of Instruction & Customer Experience, traveled to Philadelphia to give a talk on Interact to the Awards judges and global audience. He certainly impressed them with his passion for great teaching. ?

Interact was created to immerse students in an engaging, self-paced learning experience. We eschew the stale, linear model of traditional video lessons; instead, we sought to create an intuitive platform that would allow students to authentically connect with teachers during entertaining lessons (there are even a couple of sock puppets involved).
How? Well, we used real teachers behind and in front of the camera—our awesome instructors, in fact, who have all gotten 99th percentile scores on the tests they teach. They guide you through multifaceted lessons that engage your whole brain, giving you the skills you’ll need before, during, and after the test.
Interact tailors itself to you, making it truly interactive.
If you get something right, you may be led to a tougher problem. If you get something wrong, we might guide you through a detailed lesson. This allows you to experience the expertise, empathy, and guidance you’d receive from a seasoned teacher during an in-person class.
It’s kinda like the choose-your-own-adventure of test prep.
Interact covers every topic on the exam. For the GMAT, you can purchase Verbal Only or Quant Only if you need help only on a particular section. For the LSAT, you can purchase Logic Games Only, Logical Reasoning Only, or Reading Comprehension Only.
We’re proud of Interact—it’s come a long way, just like us. We’re grateful that Reimagine Education sees potential in the platform, and we look forward to stretching the boundaries of edtech for years to come. ?
