TikTok learning is superficial - Hanna Celina (Kinnu)

EdTech Founders

In this episode: We interview ⁠Hanna Celina, who is the co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Kinnu. The startup is developing an app for curious people to learn effectively with the goal of changing the way billions of people learn. She holds a PhD in Computer Science specialized in Human-Computer interaction design, has a background from Futurelearn & Google and is based in London, UK.

We talk about: How user research and feedback helps prioritize, how to scale content production, the methodology used to measure learning, how octopuses inspired Kinnu and lots more.

Outtakes:

• We want to do to the world, what Duolingo has done to language learning. And we're trying to become the Duolingo for literally any other topic.
• One of the challenges and success metrics that we're going after is just the stickiness. Do people come back? How many people come back? How often do they come back? And with what amounts of passion?
• How effective is really Duolingo for learning, we don't know, because we can't measure it.
