Assessments that can't be faked, judged against your own rubric. Fount points you to the key moments and the evidence; the grade is always yours.

From faculty and students

Fount helped my Learning Frameworks students grasp meaning to concepts and helped them to build lifelong study habits. The virtual tutor was a great addition to the course and helped to personalize learning for each student.

The shift

Packaged Courseware is over.

For a century, one author's textbook, frozen at publication, was taught by thousands of professors who would each have done it differently. AI ended that trade: a publishing cycle's work now happens under one professor's direction, in days, in her own voice.

Faculty-Authored Courseware is what comes next.


Chapter 4 · Equilibrium

A reaction at equilibrium has not stopped. The forward and reverse rates have simply become equal, so the concentrations no longer change. Disturb one of them and the system answers.

The Conversational Tutor
Tutor

A Conversational Tutor, grounded in your course.

Your students, in real dialogue – spoken and written. Grounded in your materials and your objectives, the Tutor questions, gives feedback, and checks comprehension, without ever handing over the answer. The Oxford tutorial, at gateway-course scale.

Assess

Integrity, without surveillance.

Students talk through their work out loud, on your rubric: while they are building an essay, or defending a finished one. The tutor shows you the learning behind the product, the feedback they took up in their writing and the way their arguments met your rubric.

Built on forty years of learning science
