Quizlet’s mission is to help students (and their teachers) practice and master whatever they are learning. Every month more than 50 million active learners from 130 countries practice and master more than 300 million study sets on every conceivable topic and subject. We are developing new learning experiences by modeling how students learn and drawing upon knowledge acquisition, retention, and pedagogy in cognitive science. We are always seeking to help students master any subject by optimizing study efficiency and engagement.

Team Discover is one of the Quizlet Product Engineering growth teams focused on user engagement. Our mission is to empower learners to master any topic, anytime, anywhere with Quizlet. We’re researching better ways to study and master the content in Quizlet, and looking for ways to improve our study modes like Flashcards and Quizlet Live.
