About Us
What is Learnability?
Learnability is a knowledge base for educators and learners of all ages. We gather free, high-quality educational resources from around the internet and make them easily accessible for the everyday educator. Think of us as a curated search engine for all your educational needs.
Teachers have enough work on their plates without spending hours sifting through questionable, spammy, and low-quality search results. By doing the work of gathering and organizing free resources, our Learnability HQ team aims to build a more open-access world where knowledge is shared, not sold.
Our Story
We are simply a team of two educational teachers, learners, and researchers who were frustrated by the lack of effort by academics to make their findings, resources, and expertise accessible and practical for everyday educators.
We were tired of equity and access being used as buzzwords while also seeing knowledge being siloed away from the folks who need it most. So we did something about it.
In the Summer of 2020, we first conceptualized what would eventually become LearnabilityHQ.com. What started as a mini quarantine passion project turned into 3 full years of ideation, development, design, resource aggregation, and research.
As of August 18th 2023, LearnabilityHQ.com officially launched. But the road doesn't stop here! As the internet, the education industry, and the academy produce seemingly infinite amounts of knowledge and resources, we will continue to humbly attempt to catch up.

that engage learners emotionally and socially, while also encouraging them to develop a deep understanding of difficult ideas. She also studies how learners can use their bodies and movement to connect physically with the ideas they explore in class and to generate joy and excitement during learning.
Megan is passionate in her belief that the knowledge generated in the academy and beyond should be fully accessible to everyone, and especially to the educators and learners who can benefit from it most.
