Jan. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Onvard (onvard.com), a website that curates educational content for beginning learners, has recently announced that on January 15th, 2013, it will be stepping out of beta and launching new features that will personalize users’ online education experiences.

The revamped website provides beginning learners with the best resources to learn any subject at the recommendation of actual experts. Onvard takes out all the guesswork of learning a new skill by providing a step-by-step guide that outlines the best industry-recommended resources.

do I begin? Which resources are the best to use?”

On January 15th, Onvard will become personalized and social. Onvard will start recommending content based on a user’s interests, skill level, and preferred way of learning: visual, auditory, or tactile. “The new features gets us closer to our ultimate goal of becoming the central hub of online education,” says co-founder Keith Ryu. “Just as Facebook is your social identity, we want
Onvard to become your educational identity and help you meet your learning goals.”

New features and functionalities include:
