Kelowna-based Mobile Learning Platform Gains Funding

August 24, 2016

KELOWNA – Mathtoons Media Inc. (Mathtoons) is pleased to announce funding from Kelowna based community funding company Community Futures for the “continued growth and expansion” of Mathtoons Rapid Mobile Micro-Learning software platform called Practi.

Practi provides a 360-degree, competency based rapid mobile micro-learning solution that can be accessed from any mobile device anywhere, including within a non wi-fi/ flight-mode environment, converting existing traditional training material into rapid learning format with full analytics of ‘expert’ learning.

Community Futures Development Corporation is pleased to support Mathtoons with the expansion of Practi. In its early stages, Practi has already generated significant interest globally, including from large Canadian and US companies in areas such as airlines, utilities, health care organisations, Fortune100 companies, municipalities, and entertainment and media organisations seeking to transition to mobile learning for their rapidly changing workforces.

Kristin Garn, CEO, founded Mathtoons Media in 2011, designing and building software which enabled the rapid learning and retention of math knowledge for higher education. In 2015, Kristin identified a niche market within the ever expanding Mobile Micro-Learning corporate sector (currently a $10 Billion industry, with a forecast of a 36.3% growth per year up to 2020) and has built a team of highly motivated and specialised professionals based in Kelowna and across Canada.

Kristin Garn is known as a true entrepreneur and has been recognised by the Canadian Trade Commission as a top female tech CEO and a member of the Crowe MacKay’s Women to Watch program.
