Our Scope & Projects
We optimize educational operations.
Our integrated design groups evaluate and refine educational operations to remove barriers in students' journeys to graduation. We create interventions that maximize student success for existing curriculums and programs. Specifically, our efforts iterate pedagogy, develop new processes, test new technology, redesign learning spaces, and unearth insights using data analysis and visualization.
