Company History
Online learning was invented in 1960 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations) was an answer to a pressing need for greater access to high-quality education. Initially funded by a number of grants that supported science and engineering education, including a National Science Foundation grant, PLATO became the first computer-assisted learning system. Early on, learners accessed PLATO through stand-alone computer systems. Today, Plato Courseware’s high-quality, rigorous courses can be accessed anytime and from anywhere.
Founded in innovation, we are committed to being educators' most trusted partner in creating successful student outcomes everywhere learning occurs.
We like to think that who we are is a lot like who you are—educators committed to the success of every student. It was that commitment that inspired us when we pioneered online education over 50 years ago, and it’s what continues to inspire us to innovate today.
We want to be your most trusted partner by providing you with tools and support to make it easier to individualize learning for every student. But we know that trust is earned over time, not overnight. That’s why we’re committed to building meaningful, effective, and long term partnerships.
We share your passion and your goals. Together, let’s empower futures, one student at a time.
