The premier international awards program recognized Kaltura’s AI learning agent “Class Genie” from among thousands of innovative educational technologies for its ability to create hyper-personalized learning experiences and promote content discoverability

New York, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Kaltura (Nasdaq: KLTR), the AI Video Experience Cloud, today announced that the Kaltura Class Genie has been selected as the winner of the “e-Learning Innovation of the Year” award in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards. The EdTech Breakthrough Awards honor startups, established companies, and innovators who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and a commitment to progress in educational technology.

The Kaltura Class Genie is an AI learning agent that creates hyper-personalized learning experiences for students, leading to better educational outcomes. Launched in 2024, the Class Genie represents a revolutionary leap in e-learning, marking a shift from traditional, one-size-fits-all education to dynamic, AI-driven collaboration between students and teachers that is tailored to every learner’s unique needs.

Class Genie has already reversed a long-standing challenge: students being unable to take advantage of materials they were unaware of. Based on Kaltura’s Class Genie testing, an astounding 92% of the content accessed through the Genie was from sources that students had never seen before, representing a dramatic increase in engagement and discovery, especially of long-tail content that holds educational value but would otherwise remain buried in institutional archives.

Class Genie creates individualized immersive learning resources tailored to personal needs based on each student’s preferences, engagement patterns, and past interactions, drawing exclusively from their institution’s trusted knowledge base. It integrates seamlessly with institutional content repositories - from course libraries to campus-wide archives - enabling students to ask questions through a chat interface and receive instant, context-aware support in the form of direct answers, interactive flashcards, key video clips from relevant lecture moments, and clearly cited source materials.

“We built Class Genie to help students where they are in their education journeys. By offering personalized, timely support and keeping students engaged while empowering educators with more effective and impactful teaching tools, we are creating the future for schooling,” said Eynav (Navi) Azaria, Chief Product and Engineering Officer at Kaltura. “Being recognized with this award is a strong validation of our vision and momentum in creating truly individualized learning experiences.”
