Services

From an educational idea to a platform people rely on.

We design, engineer, deploy and support education technology for universities, researchers and education organisations. One team carries the work from the first conversation to a platform in production, and stays to run it.

Where teams start

  • An educational idea

    We turn it into a working platform.

  • Funded research

    We build the intervention and its evidence infrastructure.

  • Existing content

    We turn it into active learning.

  • A system that is not working

    We redesign the workflow, interface, analytics or architecture.

  • Something that does not exist yet

    Our product R&D model takes it from discovery to deployment.

What we build

Six kinds of work, with the deliverables to match.

Every engagement ends with something running, documented and owned, not a slide deck.

Learning platforms

Complete learning environments for a curriculum, programme or audience, with learner, author, facilitator and admin experiences.

You receive

  • A production platform on UK or EU hosting
  • Authoring tools your subject experts can use
  • Guides for authors, facilitators and developers

Example: WorkReady Finance

Research and pilot platforms

Digital interventions for funded projects, pilots and evaluations, built so the evidence is clean from the first participant.

You receive

  • Consent, cohort and participant management
  • Pre and post measures and write-once attempt data
  • Exports your analysis can trust

See: For research leads

Interactive learning

Simulations, decision games, case files and investigations built from your teaching, delivered in your LMS or on their own.

You receive

  • Interactive experiences designed with your academics
  • SCORM 1.2 or 2004 packages, or hosted delivery
  • Accessible alternatives for rich interactions

Built on: our platforms

Learning analytics and evidence

Event models, dashboards and reports that show engagement, difficulty and mastery without compromising learner privacy.

You receive

  • An event model agreed before any data is collected
  • Dashboards for the people who act on them
  • Privacy thresholds and pseudonymisation by design

Responsible AI

AI features that genuinely help learners or staff, designed with review, grounding and guardrails from the start.

You receive

  • Human review steps where they matter
  • Defences against prompt injection and answer leaks
  • A clear record of models and data flows

Institutional integration and support

Technology that fits your LMS, data-protection role and hosting requirements, and a team that runs it after launch.

You receive

  • A data-processing role set out in writing
  • Hosting, monitoring and releases
  • Support from the people who built it

How we deliver

From first conversation to a platform people rely on.

WorkReady Finance went from first commit on 11 March 2026 to production on 1 June 2026, then kept shipping new learning experiences through the pilot.

  1. 01 Understand Learning goals, users, evidence needs and institutional constraints, before any build decision hardens.
  2. 02 Design Learning experience, workflows, data model, interface and architecture, designed together.
  3. 03 Build Production-quality software, interactions, integrations and infrastructure, with automated tests from the start.
  4. 04 Validate Previews and pilots with educators, researchers, learners and institutional stakeholders.
  5. 05 Deploy Into real educational settings: hosted, supported and documented for the people who run it.
  6. 06 Learn and evolve Analytics, feedback and research evidence shape what we improve next.

Ways to work with us

Start small, or start with the whole platform.

DISCOVERY

Shape the problem

Users, learning goals, evidence needs and constraints turned into a clear scope, architecture and plan.

PROTOTYPE OR PILOT

Test it with real people

A working version in the hands of learners, educators or participants, instrumented to learn from.

BUILD AND LAUNCH

Take it to production

The full platform, tested, accessible and deployed, with documentation for everyone who uses it.

RUN AND EVOLVE

Keep it working and improving

Hosting, support and new releases shaped by analytics and feedback from the people using it.

Why EdTechLab

Education and engineering, accountable in one team.

Plenty of agencies can build software. Plenty of consultants understand pedagogy. Plenty of AI companies can call a model. Institutions need all of it at once, and someone who owns the result after launch.
