Student
Students are learning in class, whether in-person, hybrid, or online.
Our platform adapts the learning experience to students individualized learning preferences. SimpliTaught is the first-to-market in this space to provide this level of support and resources to students.
Educator
SimpliTaught is an all-in-one platform for creating, uploading, storing and improving online learning tools such as videos, lecture slides, syllabi, and course notes. We provide access to students around the world and collaboration tools for working with other educators.
Our feedback process allows educators to see what works and what doesn’t by providing real data on what learning tools students are utilizing, allowing continuous improvement to their teaching models over time.
Our History & Leadership
We started on a mission in 2019 when one of our founders, Ali, noticed the lack of attention his daughter was receiving in the classroom and her subsequent lack of course comprehension. Through further research, he learned that in many classroom scenarios, educators are only getting through to 20% of the students with the material they are teaching.
To this massive gap in the educational system, Ali decided to pioneer a solution.
Utilizing nearly 25 years of tech industry experience, including launching several start-ups and serving in executive leadership roles for Fortune 500 tech companies Ali founded SimpliTaught.
During initial research stages, the founding team noticed most reading material provided in schools do not have any accompanying digital resources. For those 80% of students who do not understand the provided content, there were no alternative resources. And with college and trade school students working an average of 4.7 hours per day in the US and studying 2.3 hours per day outside of their classes, there aren't enough hours in the day for students to spend time searching for alternative useful course resources.
The solution was to create the SimpliTaught Education AI & Machine Learning Technology to enhance courses and reinforce key concepts that students are finding difficult.
Formally established in 2021, SimpliTaught is an emerging organization with an executive leadership team based in the United States and development & content management teams out of their office in Pakistan.
Our mission is to actualize and personalize a global community of learning, representing all stakeholders in the academic ecosystem, interconnected by SimpliTaught technologies.

SimpliTaught Was Made for Students
SimpliTaught is the first to market in this space to provide support for students. Our main focus is helping students succeed, and our second focus is making educators’ lives a little bit easier. We are different from a learning management system (LMS) because SimpliTaught is social in nature and is meant to evolve learning paths rather than just assess them.
