I like the fact that Kognity keeps getting updated. The articles, videos, examples and case studies are all recent. With the printed textbook, it was just whatever was available on the date it was printed.

Stephen Lo Bianco

Economics teacher IB DP at the American School of Doha, Qatar

I have used Kognity for 3 years teaching HL Economics. It is an invaluable tool that facilitates both teaching and learning. For EAL students, it is easier to understand than traditional Economics texts that can be dry and convoluted.

Gabriele Trobbiani

Kognity does much more than a textbook. It’s a hugely powerful resource.
