Saylor said her goal is to help users navigate and prioritize learning while improving their learning environment.

“There is so much going on in our education world today and it’s all very complicated,” Saylor said.
“We are trying to make it easier to manage your learning.
This is about providing the best learning experience possible.”
Saylor is hoping to expand her offerings in the coming months, which will include video lectures, lesson plans and lesson reminders, and video lessons from other companies.

The group plans to hire at least 1,000 people by the end of the year.
Sayers’ company has been building a network of educators, teachers and administrators who share data and expertise to make learning easier and more effective.
It was founded in 2012 by the same men who built the online college curriculum company Khan Academy, and it has since grown to more than 20 employees.
Digital Edgagroup has more than 1.3 million students across 20 countries.
It is now offering education management and learning management software to more 2.2 million students.
