Increase learning efficiency with iO as your technology partner.

Education is under pressure. The total number of students is levelling off, the workload for teachers is increasing, there is a structural staff shortage and the quality of education is under severe strain. At the same time, pupils, parents and students expect flexible, personalised and future-oriented education.

We believe that digital solutions play a key role in this. We help educational institutions to better connect supply and demand, simplify communication, and make data and content truly valuable for teachers, pupils, and students. In this way, we create an optimal student journey — from introduction to lifelong learning.

  • 15+ years of experience in education 

  • In-depth experience and expertise with (complex) marketing, communication and technological issues in education 

  • ISO27001 certification 

  • Blended partner: our teams facilitate student journeys from every aspect of the digital domain 

For companies and trade unions, these trends offer many opportunities. Traditional studies and training are more of a starting point than an end in themselves, their strength lies in general education and the teaching of skills that prepare students for lifelong learning. Organisations should take the initiative to develop online education, with automatic certification, to take pressure off teaching staff and HR services to make more time for individual guidance or reflection. It’s no coincidence that internal online training courses are increasingly offered externally. Companies who regard 'online learning' and 'blended learning' not as a cost but as an investment, strengthen their reputations and take an easier lead within their sector.

Artificial intelligence makes everyone smarter

New technologies help students to expand their skills. Machine learning and big data make it possible to adjust the content and difficulty step by step for students, tailored to their progress and abilities, so you can motivate them better and work through difficult moments. There are no "good" or "bad" students with this approach. You take learning efficiency and satisfaction to a higher level for everyone.

Here's how to get students and teachers on your side:

Think about your target group
Where other companies develop products for defined target groups, educational publishers and developers must consider various 'stakeholders'. For (high) schools, the teacher is usually the 'customer' who will introduce a tool to students and has to be able to see the added value.

Go all out for activation
School-age people expect a seamless and vibrant experience from digital teaching materials. Studying should not be limited to reproducing knowledge but should activate. Those who are stimulated during the learning process also progress faster and have higher levels of satisfaction. Digital tools offer many more possibilities here than the classical methods. Interactive tests, images and illustrations, videos, 3D applications, virtual reality and augmented reality, apps, ... ensure that the material is not only remembered but also better understood.

Work tailored to the needs of teacher and/or student
The classic linear way of studying has given way to more flexible forms of learning. Learning at your own pace, according to your own possibilities and objectives – with digital tools that are easily integrated into the learning process. A Learning Management System (LMS) is essential. It helps you to offer centralised study materials and to set up interactive exercises. It also gives you more insight into the individual learning trajectories of all students and the way they learn so that you can organise their learning trajectories in the way that suits them best.

Students want to...

Be part of a more dynamic and flexible society that has different requirements, they don’t just want to pass, they want to succeed at every stage of their lives.

Few sectors are as diverse as education. Educational institutions, trade unions and companies work with a broad base of methodologies and practical experience.
