What would you like to know?
Genesis is a digital platform that makes it easy for your students, faculty and allumni to connect, collaborate and share knowledge.
Three ways that Genesis will impact your institution
Student Engagement & Career Resilience Genesis facilitates a new ‘ learn by doing’ ethos where students are given the platform to collaborate on real world projects. Course modules and assignments are complimented with bitesized resources and access to a network of faculty, allumni, business experts and fellow students. Genesis makes it possible for students to shape their own experience, and by doing so they will build the essential digital and people skills necessary to thrive in the new economy.
Pedagogical Insights & Real Time Support Genenis allows provides all members with profiles where they can tag their learning styles, interests, passions & personality types. As members use the platform we will be able to report on trends and insights about when and how your students learn best. You will also be able to reward the faculty who provide the most engaging content and the most effective support. The power of genesis lies in the real-time peer-to-peer feedback loops that it can facilite between students and faculty.
Allumni Participation & New Revenue Opportunities Genesis goes far beyond a conventional virtual learning environment. We see genesis as a lifelong learning platform. When students graduate we can simply upgrade their account to allumni, so that they can continue to enjoy the benefits of their education throughout their careers.This also presents potential revenue opportunities as alumni could be charged annual membership fees. It is also possible to publish targetted featured posts via the platform. For example, employers may wish to promote jobs and events to the community.
Genesis empowers your institution to operate like a startup, using real-time data to deliver more value and relevant support to your students and faculty.
Here’s How We Work Understand Consulting & Stakeholder Engagement

We provide a ‘Platform as a Service’ solution. Which means we are with you every step of the way, from design to development to launch and beyond.
Why Genesis Matters The cost of higher education is increasing faster than inflation The value of a degree is falling as content is becoming openly accessible The global economy is changing and graduates are struggling to get the best jobs
We forsee a paradigm shift in higher education. A shift that moves away from just delivering courses and towards nurturing lifelong learning communities.
