Mission: "1Cademy is designed to simplify learning complex scientific information by dividing it into microcontent. The collective intelligence of students and instructors dynamically improves each microcontent piece and designs prerequisite relations between them to provide students with learning pathways. This approach aligns with recent trends in students’ preferences for short-form content over long-form.

​

1Cademy has fostered the development of communities of enthusiasts for various scientific subjects, comprising individuals from diverse educational institutions and research organizations. These enthusiasts share their discoveries and insights on 1Cademy and come together on a weekly basis to delve deeper into their areas of interest. Through these interactions, we gain insight into the cutting-edge research and learning taking place at our collaborators' institutions and are able to draw connections that inspire new research ideas."
