Another Big Move Hits Higher-Ed Publishing, as Wiley Buys Knewton - Goldie Blumenstyk, Chronicle of Higher Ed

Another big publisher in higher ed is making a strategic move. John Wiley & Sons announced on Monday that it was buying the assets of Knewton, an 11-year-old company that has at times been held up as the poster child for ed-tech overhype. Knewton was initially known for its adaptive-learning tools designed to work with content from commercial publishers, but more recently it has shifted focus toward its platform that incorporates open educational resources, or OER. https://www.chronicle.com/article/Another-Big-Move-Hits/246249
