Top digital learning companies including Babbel, Chineasy and Kenhub
Individual experts including professor Rob Swatski's "A-Plus Anatomy" study guides and Spanish teacher Miriam Gutierrez's language sets

"Quizlet has a rapidly growing user base of more than 50 million people a month, and those people are coming to our platform looking for a centralized experience for all their study needs," said Matthew Glotzbach, Quizlet's CEO.

"Pearson is excited to participate in the launch of the Quizlet Marketplace," stated Pedro Rodrigues De Vasconcellos, VP - Product Marketing English & Schools, Pearson.

"Babbel's mission is to enable language-learning for everyone," said Julie Hansen, CEO US of Babbel. "Millions of subscribers worldwide already use Babbel to learn a new language, but high school students have not comprised a large part of them to date. This partnership brings Babbel to a new, younger audience with a combination of Quizlet's popular platform and our language learning expertise. Our goal with the partnership is to help students ace their AP language exams and encourage them to continue their language journey."

"As a professor, author, and illustrator based in York, Pennsylvania, offering my study materials on Quizlet allows me to reach biology students around the world," said Rob Swatski, professor and developer of the A-Plus Anatomy series. "I've recommended Quizlet to my classes for years, and it's fantastic to now have a direct way for my students to study my own diagrams and images with built-in capabilities like flashcards and quizzes."

Quizlet partners with creators who have exceptional reputations in academia and with learners. Quizlet verifies the creator and helps guide them on the type of content that would be most useful to Quizlet's user base.
