Fishtree is an adaptive learning platform growing fast in popularity across the US K-12 sector and moving into higher education. It specializes in scaling one-to-one instruction but combines the elements of a typical LMS and SIS to offer a really innovative learning environment that incorporates personalization, collaboration and analytics. It can even sit within other infrastructures making it really easy to integrate. https://vimeo.com/77442837
