An Innovate New Albany startup, Capture Education, recently released ScheduleSmart APT, a tool that reduces the data entry task of scheduling and replaces it with real time, data driven decision-making tools to produce course requests and placements that match students’ needs, learning styles, interests and goals.

Users can select data elements that include grades, attendance, learning style, interest and ACT/SAT score and the APT technology produces a full set of requests ensuring that students are placed where they are most likely to be successful.
