About EdTechLab
EdTechLab brings education, research, product design and software engineering into one team. We build bespoke platforms for institutions and we run our own, and the same people do both. That is why our client work arrives with production discipline, and our platforms are shaped by real institutional problems.
How EdTechLab works
Each side makes the other better. Running our own platforms at scale forces the engineering discipline institutional projects need. Institutional problems show us what our platforms should do next.
When a university team, researcher or education organisation needs something that does not exist off the shelf, we design, build, host and support it, and the institution keeps ownership where that is what it needs.
intle, EngagedLab and interacty help educators create interactive learning and deliver it through the LMS they already use. intle and EngagedLab have more than 100,000 users.
How we work
Anyone can list values. These are the ones you can check.
We lead with real screens, live systems and sourced evidence, not concepts.
Evidence: case studies built from production screenshots, and four live platforms anyone can visit.
Education technology has to keep working through term dates, cohorts and policy changes.
Evidence: more than 12,000 automated tests across the platforms we run.
We design around an institution's LMS, data-protection role and constraints, not the other way round.
Evidence: data processor for UWE Bristol; SCORM 1.2 and 2004 packaging; UK and EU hosting.
AI earns its place when it helps, and people stay in control of what learners see.
Evidence: human plan review in intle; a Socratic tutor in EngagedLab that withholds answers.
Analytics are designed before data is collected, and small cohorts are protected.
Evidence: write-once attempt records in WorkReady Finance; cohort figures hidden below five learners in EngagedLab.
We host, support and improve what we build, and keep releasing once people are using it.
Evidence: new WorkReady Finance experiences shipped through the pilot, weeks after launch.

Leadership
Clients work directly with the people who design and build their platform. There is no hand-off to a separate delivery team, and no gap between who scopes the work and who supports it in production.
Founder and Director, EdTechLab
Sara leads EdTechLab, with a focus on education technology that is usable, evidence-aware and ready for real institutional contexts.
