Case Study: St Gilgen International School boosts IB Biology learning with Kognity

How Kognity is backed up by proven learning theory

St Gilgen International School, an international school in Austria, sought to overcome challenges in engaging students and implementing excellent pedagogy for its IB Diploma Programme. Their Biology teacher and IB DP Coordinator, John Patton, was looking for a solution to get students excited about the subject, put them in control of their learning, and find materials for more effective lessons and feedback.

The school implemented Kognity, an online educational platform. This solution allowed teachers to flip the classroom, efficiently differentiate instruction, and provide students with instant, high-quality feedback on their work. As a result, teachers could spend more time inspiring a passion for the subject, while students became more independent and in control of their learning. Kognity provided a structured framework for study and gave teachers valuable data to inform their instruction and communicate progress to parents.
