What makes us different? A unique combination of technology, science and education:

Our talented programmers, graphic designers and web developers have many years experience developing interactive, visually exciting learning-based websites and resources. We also develop technologies that allow teachers to monitor and track the progress of their students.

The team includes highly qualified PhD scientists who can communicate effectively with subject experts. This means that our resources are accurate and up-to-date with the latest scientific advances.

Without an understanding of teaching and learning at the earliest stages of a project, the finished resource would be worthless. Our extensive in-house educational expertise is enhanced by a network of contacts throughout schools, universities and industry.

Our achievements include:

  • Developing the Bristol ChemLabS Dynamic Lab Manual - winner of the Times Higher Education Award for Outstanding ICT Initiative of the Year, 2010.
  • The successful commercialisation of LabSkills, championed by the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Training and Development Agency, and now available in every secondary school in the UK.

If you have a project you'd like to discuss, give Learning Science a call on +44 (0)117 9304505.

Working with Learning Science means we can draw on their unique blend of scientific literacy, their ability to recognise the needs of students and their technical skills to combine all of this into working solutions that add real value to the learning experience.
