Jim Goodell founded INFERable in 2023 with a mission to make a material positive impact on systems of education, training, and human development. His professional and volunteer work in education data and learning technology standards and his leadership in the learning engineering community uncovered an inconvenient truth, that discoveries in learning sciences and learning analytics were going to waste. INFERable solves that problem with modularized AI services that plug into any platform to predict and guide optimization of learning and performance.
