The course is designed for EdTech company leadership teams who want to learn the latest research on how to build the most effective, trustworthy and impactful educational products. Participants will develop the mindsets, capacities, processes, assets and strategies needed for their enterprise to build trustworthy and effective products.
Goldstar Education’s founder, Dr Anissa Moeini, completed her doctorate in 2020 at the UCL Department of Culture, Communication and Media. Anissa’s doctoral research set out to build a bridge between academia and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the EdTech sector. Her goal is to combine the rigour of academic research methods with the dynamism and creativity of EdTech SMEs so that these businesses can successfully design and develop impactful educational products that are built upon robust evidence.
To continue realising this goal, she founded her company Goldstar Education in 2021, supported by UCL Innovation and Enterprise and UCL’s Hatchery incubator programme.
Anissa's doctoral research was the first study to consider the needs and approaches of the professionals behind EdTech products, which the short course directly supports. The three-day short course introduces the capacities that leadership teams and their staff need to build high-quality products.
The ‘Leading an impactful EdTech enterprise’ course is co-led by Professor Alison Clark-Wilson, who has supported hundreds of EdTech companies around the world through her practical approach to evaluating impact.
This face-to-face course adopts a highly practical approach in which leadership teams develop sound impact strategies that can be immediately implemented within their company. The course is followed by two mentoring sessions which are designed to support professionals as they apply their learning within their business practices.
The next course takes place between 18 to 20 June 2025, and interested participants can register an expression of interest now.
