At PLATO^® Learning, our tradition of innovative leadership dates back to 1960—when the University of Illinois developed technology and content for a computer-assisted instructional system, made possible through a grant from the National Science Foundation. The system they created would later become what today is known as PLATO, the leading provider of online education solutions.

In the decades since its creation, PLATO has continued to grow and develop through a variety of transitions, acquisitions, mergers and innovations. Today, our award-winning curriculum and online assessments are tied directly to standards and integrated learning environments. Additionally, professional development, customized to meet your needs, effectively supports you in achieving your program goals. Most important, PLATO makes a difference in the lives of learners—as they upgrade their skills, increase their self-esteem, discover successful employment, and become better, more self-sufficient students and employees.
