About Galvanize Learn

Delivering technology education effectively at scale is a major growth area for Galvanize.  As our reach grows, we have an incredible opportunity to deliver our programs consistently and measure the outcomes for all students.  Galvanize Learn is a software-based Learning Platform that combines functions from e-learning, classroom tools, and assessment.  It enables active student learning, both in-classroom and remote, and measures student progress to support data-driven instruction. It is a major part of our effort to deliver a consistent student experience to our growing user base.
