Previously doing business as eduCanon Inc, in 2016 the firm was renamed PlayPosit, Inc - an entity structured to make video work for learning by empowering teachers to add interactivity into video. The firm operates in an online learning environment to create and share interactive video lessons - providing a platform that enables teachers to begin with any online video -- screencasts, Khan Academy, TED, etc.-- then to transform what is traditionally passive content into an active experience for students, with time-embedded activities. Designed to push students to their potential, the systems allow video content to be customized with embedded, time-stamped questions and activities, personalized to students' learning styles and background interests. This approach also offers video solutions that become usable by corporates to train employees, partners, and customers. In August 2022, PLayposit was acquired by TSCP-backed WeVideo
