Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg continued his trend of investing in education technology companies, with MasteryConnect the latest to join the list.

MasteryConnect announced that Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, invested $5 million in the company, extending its $15.2 million series-B funding round and bringing its private funding total to $29 million.

Facebook announced earlier this month that “a small team” of engineers from the social network has been assisting Summit Public Schools in California with its personalized learning initiative.

Zuckerberg and Chan committed $120 million to schools in the San Francisco Bay area last year and contributed to a recent funding round by AltSchool.
