Program Description
Coursemojo is an innovative AI-powered teaching and learning platform designed specifically for English Language Arts instruction. The platform serves as an intelligent assistant (named Mojo) that works alongside classroom teachers to provide individualized support to every student while maintaining the collaborative, social nature of classroom learning. Rather than replacing traditional instruction, Coursemojo is designed to “supercharge the work that is already happening in classrooms” through seamless integration with existing curricula and teaching practices.
Program Outcomes
A quasi-experimental study evaluated Coursemojo in a large Tennessee district during the 2024–25 school year. The study included 2,045 sixth-grade students across twelve schools. The Coursemojo sample was diverse: 19% Black, 18% Hispanic/Latino, 5% English learners, 19% special education, and 40% economically disadvantaged.
Students using Coursemojo demonstrated significantly stronger ELA performance. On the state standardized TCAP exam, Coursemojo students scored 8 points higher than peers (effect size = +0.12), and they outperformed comparison students on spring Aimsweb assessments (effect size = +0.10) and scored higher on TN Ready benchmarks (effect size = +0.04). Importantly, students with disabilities narrowed the achievement gap with general education peers by two-thirds (from 16 to 5 points), and economically disadvantaged students cut their gap by more than half. Dosage analyses showed that consistent use (2.5+ days per week) drove the strongest gains. The significant literacy gains earn Coursemojo a Moderate rating.
