Case Study: PREP Education boosts student retention and global course localization with Akool

PREP Education boosts student retention 45% with Akool

PREP Education, a visionary EdTech company, faced a significant challenge in scaling its online learning platform globally. Students were tuning out of prerecorded lectures, leading to falling retention rates and a loss of engagement. PREP needed a way to bring humanity back into online education without the impractical costs and time associated with hiring multilingual instructors and reshooting content. To solve this, they turned to the AI avatar technology from vendor AKOOL.

With AKOOL, PREP created lifelike digital teachers capable of speaking multiple languages with natural expressions. This solution allowed them to update and roll out lessons in hours instead of weeks, dramatically cutting production costs. The results were a 45% increase in student retention and the ability to expand into new international markets at record speed. AKOOL's technology enabled PREP to build a global classroom, making high-quality, engaging education affordable and scalable.
