This is a chatty magazine-style article about Squirrel.AI, a Chinese learning technology initiatiave. "Squirrel focuses on helping students score better on annual standardized tests," writes the author. "It also designed its system to capture ever more data from the beginning, which has made possible all kinds of personalization and prediction experiments." The article doesn't really get into a lot of depth, being focused more on market positioning, comparisons with ALEKS (a similar US-based system we are supposed to believe inspired Squirrel), and how students feel when using it.
