There's a lot of exciting stuff going on in digital education, but until now, assessment has been the Cinderella. We want to change that. We will make smart diagnostic and formative (assessment for learning) freely available online. We've already embarked on this journey with a prototype for Maths in schools in England, and platform design is now underway. In early 2014, Obrussa won substantial project funding through InnovateUK. In this project, the University of Essex will help us develop smart algorithms to drive our assessment engine.
This is an opportunity to get in at the very start of an intellectually challenging and exciting project that could change the world of learning for the better.
