Carnegie Learning, Inc. is an American publisher of math curricula for middle school, high school, and post-secondary students. The company uses a blended approach, with a textbook and software (called Cognitive Tutor) for each subject. The company also produces products for the homeschool and tutoring markets. Based in Pittsburgh, PA, Carnegie Learning was founded by cognitive science researchers from Carnegie Mellon University in conjunction with veteran mathematics teachers.

[edit]Cognitive Tutor
All of the Cognitive Tutor curricula are based on extensive scientific research from Carnegie Mellon University, along with field tests in schools throughout the United States. The Cognitive Tutors are based on the ACT-R theory of learning, memory and performance, which has been validated by hundreds of lab and field studies. The Tutors themselves were developed using a rigorous empirical testing process resulting in over 50 publications validating the effectiveness of cognitive modeling.[1]
A review by the United States Department of Education concluded that Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutor had “no discernible effects” on the standardized test scores of high school students.[2]
[edit]Awards
On May 6, 2009, Carnegie Learning was announced as the winner of the The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) CODiE for Best Mathematics Instructional Solution. This was the third win for Carnegie Learning, having also won the CODiE in 2005 and 2007.[3][4]
