Edinburgh venture secures £2 million funding to grow digital learning hub in Scotland
An Edinburgh-based e-learning specialist has secured £2 million of funding as it looks to grow a digital learning hub aimed at ten to 16-year-olds and boost its own headcount.
ITZA will use part of the research and development (R&D) grant and equity funding from Scottish Enterprise, Alba Equity and private investors to embark on a pilot programme at schools in West Lothian, Dundee and Aberdeenshire this summer. The firm’s web platform empowers young people to learn independently using curated content and personalised analytics. A team of filmmakers, cognitive scientists, educators and game designers collaborate with “world-class brands and organisations” to produce film, games and other interactive content to complement and extend the regular curriculum.
