"I have been teaching for 40 years and find Kognity the most useful tool I have ever used. Easy to use, extremely well organized with superb illustrations, videos etc. The assignment system is also excellent. Wish it had been around in 1979!"

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

James Taylor

History Teacher/IB Coordinator, Gunma Kokusai Academy, Japan

A lot of different publishers have put their book online, and really it's just a PDF. Nothing has matched Kognity. I had a 96% pass rate and I attribute a lot of that to Kognity.
