Axio's platform allowed me to engage with my students more intimately, where students arrived in class better understanding the material, and we got to spend our time on higher-order learning and meaningful mentorship rather than basic content delivery.

For the first time, I didn't have to anchor our software students to any one tool. I could teach them the theory of software development knowing that Axio was tailoring the content to match the tools and technologies aligned with each student's unique career pursuits.

Transform Courses, Not Just Delivery

Objective: Make course design modular, adaptive, and measurable — while freeing up faculty time.

AXIO AI automatically ingests existing syllabi and course content

Converts materials into interactive, Socratic learning experiences

Outcomes aligned to modular, adaptive learning units

Built-in assessments track progress and understanding

Axio's ability to ingest our existing materials and convert them into adaptive, measurable learning experiences has reduced course development time by 10x while dramatically improving learning outcomes. What used to take months to build now takes days, freeing our faculty to focus on mentorship and innovation.

— Dr. Linda Sommerville, VP of Jessup Global
