# [http://betterlesson.org BetterLesson]：Launched at the end of 2011, this startup was founded by a group of  teachers and schools who wanted to create a place where educators could  connect, build and share lessons, and organize educational materials.  The site focuses on quality over quantity, and hopes to use the $1.6  million in seed money it garnered to build a site that helps teachers  improve lessons and, in turn, helps students to learn more. With more  than 250 teachers signing up every day, it’s heading into 2013 strong.

# [http://classroomwindow.com/ ClassroomWindow]：Launched just this year, ClassroomWindow offers teachers a chance to  review the products and services they use in the classroom. It’s a bit  like Yelp for teaching, and the founders hope it will not only empower  teachers but also force educational publishers and developers to step up  their game. With just $1 million in funding, the company is working  with a smallish budget, but as it moves out of beta the site may just  become a major player in the $25 billion K-12 education supply  marketplace.

# [http://coursera.org Coursera]: Founded by Stanford computer science professors, Coursera provides  access to courses from top-tier universities for free. There are now 34  different universities contributing course material to the site, and  with over $22 million in funding  this year to work with, the site is  doing pretty well for itself, especially considering it just launched in  April. Currently, it boasts about 1.75 million users, and while it’s  not charging for courses at present, the company is working on ways to  monetize its incredibly valuable and popular programs.

# [http://edx.org EdX]:  One of the most talked-about educational startups of 2012 has to be  MIT and Harvard’s joint venture EdX. EdX plans to offer online courses  free of charge, with materials and curricula drawn from existing  programs at both schools. It’s not all about just teaching students,  however. Administrators also plan to use the platform to research how  technology can transform learning. EdX, which just launched this fall,  isn’t quite the traditional startup, as it’s not-for-profit, but if it  proves successful it could create some major competition for others  looking to get into the online learning market.

# [http://fideliseducation.com Fidelis]: Transitioning from life in the military to life as a civilian can be  hard, especially when it comes to finding education, training, and a job  that uses the skills veterans already have. Fidelis focuses on helping  former servicemen and women find online courses that will best serve  their needs, with coaching and advisory support along the way. With $2.5  million in recent funding, the startup is revamping its website and the  services it offers and will hopefully re-launch sometime early in 2013.

# [http://goalbookapp.com GoalBook]:  Tracking special-needs students with ILPs and IEPs can be a lot of  work for teachers. GoalBook aims to make that a little easier, helping  to streamline communication, engage parents, and ensure that students  and all who work with them are aware of the educational goals being set.  GoalBook is one of the newest startups on this list, emerging from  Imagine K12′s incubator less than a year ago. It’s since scored almost a  million dollars in seed funding and hopes to soon become the first  social and mobile platform for special education teachers.

# [http://lore.com Lore]: Formerly known as Coursekit, this company got its start in late 2011.  Since then, it has raised over $24 million to fund its goal: to become a  real competitor to education management platform Blackboard, partly by  incorporating a wealth of social features into the site. Earlier this  year, Lore reported working with more than 600 colleges and universities  as well as a large number of study groups, student organizations, and  other classes.

# [http://minervaproject.com Minerva Project]:  Think you can’t get a Harvard-quality education online? Well, right  now you might be right, but when this project launches you might have to  revise that opinion. It’s an ambitious goal, but it could be possible  with former Harvard president Larry Summers sitting on the advisory  board, and some serious funding from investors: $25 million in 2012  alone. Courses are still in the works for this startup with plans to launch in 2014, but due to its potential to change online education we thought it was worth including here.

# [http://noodle.org Noodle Education]: Created by the founder of the Princeton Review and 2U and developed by veterans from big names in education like Kumon and Kaplan, Noodle  has a striking educational pedigree. So what does it do? Noodle is  designed to help learners get personalized recommendations about formal and informal educational opportunities, ranging from calculus courses to  fitness classes. To date, about 170,000 learning institutions are featured on Noodle, but since the site just launched its alpha release in May of 2012, that number will likely grow quickly over the next year.

# [http://skillshare.com Skillshare]:  Since getting off the ground in mid-2011 with the help of almost $4  million in funding, this community marketplace for learning, where  visitors can learn (or teach) just about anything for a nominal fee, has  gotten a pretty solid start in the online learning market. It was named  a startup to watch in 2012 by Mashable, and has expanded its courses  from New York to cities all over the U.S.

# [http://teamtreehouse.com Treehouse]: Startup Treehouse, new to the market in 2011, uses short videos,  quizzes, and badges to help users learn about web design and iOS  development. Courses are relatively cheap, costing just $29 to $49 per  month, earning the company $3 million in revenue over the past year.  With an additional $4.75 million in funding from venture capitalists in  April of this year, as well as partnerships with Estee Lauder, Disney,  and Zappos, the company is poised to have a very successful 2013.

# [http://udacity.com Udacity]: Former Stanford professor and Google VP and researcher Sebastian  Thrun launched this online education venture earlier this year. Udacity  hopes to bring high-quality university classes to as many students as  possible, free of charge. How does it make money? If students want  certifications for the skills they’ve learned, they can pay to take a  test at one of the company’s testing centers. Not only has Udacity been a major newsmaker lately, it’s also gotten a fair amount of startup cash:  close to $20 million this year.

# [http://unow.com UniversityNow]:  UniversityNow specializes in providing affordable college degrees  online, offering access to Patten University and New Charter University  courses through a web-based portal.

Founder Gene Wade  has said he thinks they’ll continue to grow, stating, "I think we’re at  a tipping point where online education is accepted. There’s an enormous demand for education around the world."

# [http://desire2learn.com Desire2Learn]:  Desire2Learn offers learning management systems to K-12, higher ed,  corporate, and government organizations that are similar to those of  edtech giant Blackboard. While founded in 1999, the company has made big  waves over the past year, scoring $80 million  in venture funding this September, the largest ever in a Canadian  software startup. The company plans to invest in more staff and  marketing, to expand its base and better serve its more than 700 current  customers.
+
-
# [http://echo360.com Echo360]:  This Australian startup grew out of a partnership with the University  of Western Australia, and helps higher education institutions put  lectures and other learning materials online so that students can learn anytime, anywhere. The company believes that students in the digital age  need this kind of flexibility, and many colleges seem to agree: the  company has more than 500 subscribing institutions. Earlier in 2012,  Echo360 received $31 million in funding to expand their services to 50%  of all U.S. college students over the next five years, so it could soon be a pretty huge player in the edtech market.
+
-
# [http://mentorbob.com MentorMob]:  Founded in 2009, though not publicly launched until 2011, this  startup’s site helps users to organize and share crowdsourced content.  Its playlists of educational material have garnered it comparisons to  other sites like Pinterest and Pandora, though there really isn’t  another site quite like it. In fact, MentorMob won the ITA CityLIGHTS  Best New Concept Award in 2011. With new funding and a website redesign  this year, the MentorMob is poised to go into 2013 looking better than  ever.

# [http://root-1.com Root-1]: Gamification is a huge buzzword in edtech right now, and Root-1 is working to capitalize on that. The company develops educational apps,  most related to vocabulary and writing, that can be played online or on a  smartphone. So far, the company has launched four different games, a  number of which have been top-ranked and recommended by educators. In  2012, Fast Company honored Root-1 as one of its Top 10 Innovative Education Companies.

# [http://showme.com ShowMe]: ShowMe is a learning community, allowing users to teach or learn  anything. Since the company was founded in 2009, over 1.5 million  lessons have been created using the site’s built-in tools, including a  whiteboard iPad app. Having started out with just $840,000 in funding,  the company has since added a number of investors, including veteran  startup investor Nihal Mehta in September of this year.

# [http://tophatmonocle.com Top Hat Monocle]:  In July of 2012, Top Hat Monocle landed a major investment deal, providing the company with $8 million  to work with. Since 2010, when the company got its start, it’s evolved  from a simple polling system to something much more comprehensive.

# [http://tutorspree.com TutorSpree]:  Through TutorSpree, the old-fashioned method of finding a tutor gets a  modern makeover. All tutors on the site have to be pre-approved and  qualified and students can easily search for an find reviews of tutors  listed on the site. Eventually, the site hopes to launch features that  will allow students to work with tutors directly online, and with a $1  million investment in hand at the end of 2011, it’s better placed to  work towards that goal.
 
-
# [http://voxy.com Voxy]:  There are a lot of companies out there vying for supremacy in the  online language-learning market, but we think Voxy is worth noting. The  company uses mobile technology, gaming, and everyday activities as part  of the learning experience. While initially focused on teaching English  to Spanish and Portuguese speakers, the startup is working hard to  expand into other languages. That may become a reality, with $4 million  in venture funding secured by the company in March of this year.
 
-
# [http://2u.com 2U]: Formerly known as [[2tor]], this education-focused startup has pulled in  an insane amount of funding over the past few years: almost $100 million  since 2008. 2U operates by partnering with universities to build,  administer, and market their online degree programs. It’s been pretty  successful so far, working with big names in education like Georgetown  University, the University of North Carolina, USC, and Washington  University in St. Louis. Expect to see it expand even further over the  next few years, as more universities look for ways to expand into the  online education market.

# [http://www.crunchbase.com/company/khan-academy Khan Academy]: Even those who know next to nothing about education startups have  heard of this incredibly popular company. Founded in 2006, it has become  an education phenomenon over the past few years, more than tripling its  number of users to 3.5 million between 2006 and 2011. What makes it so popular? The site offers thousands of lectures and games, largely at the K-12 level, that help students learn things like chemistry, math,  finance, and history for free. Like EdX, however, Khan Academy is non-profit, and operates only through fundraising, with major donors including Google and Bill Gates.

# [http://knewton.com Knewton]:  Based in NYC, this startup offers an adaptive learning platform to  schools to help them to customize their educational content to the  unique needs of students. The more students use the platform, the better  it becomes at predicting the students’ needs and interests. Knewton was  named a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum and is being  used in 190 countries around the world to help with everything from  basic education to SAT prep. Between 2008 and 2012, Knewton has captured more than $54 million in funding, giving it a lot of spending power to expand and develop new services and features.

Founded in 2006, it has become  an education phenomenon over the past few years, more than tripling its  number of users to 3.5 million between 2006 and 2011. What makes it so  popular? The site offers thousands of lectures and games, largely at the  K-12 level, that help students learn things like chemistry, math,  finance, and history for free. Like EdX, however, Khan Academy is  non-profit, and operates only through fundraising, with major donors  including Google and Bill Gates.

Knewton was  named a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum and is being  used in 190 countries around the world to help with everything from  basic education to SAT prep. Between 2008 and 2012, Knewton has captured  more than $54 million in funding, giving it a lot of spending power to  expand and develop new services and features.

  1. Take the World's Best Courses, Online, For Free.
  2. Founded by Stanford computer science professors, Coursera provides access to courses from top-tier universities for free. There are now 34 different universities contributing course material to the site, and with over $22 million in funding this year to work with, the site is doing pretty well for itself, especially considering it just launched in April. Currently, it boasts about 1.75 million users, and while it’s not charging for courses at present, the company is working on ways to monetize its incredibly valuable and popular programs.


  1. The Future of Online Education For anyone, anywhere, anytime.
  2. One of the most talked-about educational startups of 2012 has to be MIT and Harvard’s joint venture EdX. EdX plans to offer online courses free of charge, with materials and curricula drawn from existing programs at both schools. It’s not all about just teaching students, however. Administrators also plan to use the platform to research how technology can transform learning. EdX, which just launched this fall, isn’t quite the traditional startup, as it’s not-for-profit, but if it proves successful it could create some major competition for others looking to get into the online learning market.


  1. You learn by solving challenging problems and pursuing dacious projects with world-renowned university instructors (not by watching long, boring lectures)；
  2. Former Stanford professor and Google VP and researcher Sebastian Thrun launched this online education venture earlier this year. Udacity hopes to bring high-quality university classes to as many students as possible, free of charge. How does it make money? If students want certifications for the skills they’ve learned, they can pay to take a test at one of the company’s testing centers. Not only has Udacity been a major newsmaker lately, it’s also gotten a fair amount of startup cash: close to $20 million this year.
