We power assessment excellence
Change happens quickly in the digital age. Behaviors change and expectations change—but for many, assessment has stood still.
As learning moves online, there is an ever-widening assessment excellence gap between forward-looking innovators who believe it is essential for modern learning and the rest.
The Learnosity Assessment Engine instantly plugs the assessment excellence gap for learning platforms by enabling faster product launches, breakthrough capabilities, on-demand scaling, and continuous innovation to keep pace with a rapidly evolving market.
Our story

Gavin Cooney
CEO & Co-Founder
As CEO and co-founder of Learnosity, Gav still talks about the company he helped build over a decade ago with an infectious zeal. It’s easy to see why: what began as a project in a garden shed (a cliché maybe, but 100% true!) has matured into an internationally renowned tech company with a 200-strong crew of problem-solvers. Since Gav believes that all social ills can be remedied through education, his modus operandi is pretty simple: give education the standard of technology it deserves.
In a nutshell
Big-hearted adventurer and big-picture thinker. Chatterbox. Perennial optimist.
Things he likes
Karaoke, drone piloting, live gigs ... and karaoke.
Mark Lynch
CSO & Co-Founder
It’s no coincidence that Learnosity started life shortly after the birth of Mark’s first child. Life-changing events like that tend to stir up some big questions. For Mark it was “Why isn’t technology living up to its promise in education?” So he decided to do something about it, marrying his love of well-designed software to his commitment to solving real problems for real people. As CSO and co-founder of Learnosity, he says that the most gratifying thing about our technology is it’s flexibility to let others do things even we haven’t thought of.
In a nutshell
Dad of two. Tech-geek. Thinker and tinkerer. Problem-solver. Pragmatist.
Things he likes
Mountain biking, making robots, teaching robotics, and LEGO.
