Description

Grockit is a live online multiplayer game providing test prep.[5] It offers interactive play with other people studying for the same test.[6] It works to integrate elements of artificial intelligence with its services to adapt to students' unique needs.[7] Grockit believes that people learn better through peer-to-peer situations instead of teacher-to-student.[8]

Grockit is a play on the word Grok which means to understand something intuitively or by empathy.
