Learning Commons

Learning Commons is an open AI infrastructure platform for education, designed to bring learning science into AI systems. Its core offering includes Evaluators, which assess AI-generated content for educational quality and learning science alignment using trusted educational rubrics and research-backed criteria. The platform also provides Knowledge Graph datasets and a browseable dataset catalog, as well as Agent Skills—open, ready-to-use skills that help AI assistants produce high-quality, standards-aligned K-12 teaching materials. The platform targets academic researchers, content providers, edtech developers, and educators. It supports Curriculum Integration to align products with real-world instructional materials used in classrooms, and Curriculum Sync to load and customize curriculum into learning management systems. Developers can distribute research, datasets, and frameworks via open infrastructure. Learning Commons is open-source, offers a public API, and supports self-hosting. It operates on a free model with a medium learning curve. The platform partners with Anthropic to bring expert pedagogy into AI systems, enabling teachers to have direct control over validating AI outputs—moving from 'generate and hope' to 'generate, evaluate, and refine'.
