Align with Institutional Strategic Objectives

Our flexible, modular problem-solving framework
-
Empathy & Define
Students choose from lecturer-identified focus areas, capture research findings on our interactive Insights Whiteboard, and frame a narrowly defined problem using our point of view statement template.
-
Ideate & Validate
Students brainstorm solutions on our roughwork canvas and engage with Inspiro, our integrated persona-driven AI Idea Assistant, to validate their ideas. They also hone their prompt engineering & critical thinking skills.
-
Peer & Industry Feedback
Students give & receive feedback on ideas with classmates and can also capture insights on their ideas from faculty members and/or our panel of industry subject matter experts.
-
Prototype
Our built-in AI image generator brings student ideas to life quickly and effortlessly, while lecturers can also opt for students to design and upload more granular prototypes.
-
Discuss
Students engage with each other’s ideas through a social media-inspired feed, where they can react, comment, and spark meaningful conversations, enabling them to understand their idea from diverse perspectives.
-
Premium Extras
Lecturers can add additional business model canvases (classic, social, sustainability or lean). They can also introduce disruptive scenarios to encourage students to consider unexpected events. Our portfolio tool helps students visually organise their work, while allowing lecturers to add learning questions or reflective activities.
-
Digital Badges
Students who complete each stage are rewarded with a digital badge, which they can add to LinkedIn to showcase their in-demand skills to future employers.

UCD Innovation Academy

Dr. Thomas Macango, Education Innovation Lead & Module Coordinator for the UCD Innovation Academy Innovation for Sustainability module, wanted a way to keep his students engaged, but reduce the admin burden associated with setting up the challenge, communicating it and maintaining oversight on where students are along the way.

We collaboratively designed a customised challenge with Tom where students developed sustainable innovations for key sectors of the Irish economy. The platform seamlessly guided them through five structured stages, allowing Tom to focus on teaching whilst the platform engaged students in their challenge.

- 20% increase in students’ confidence to solve problems.
- Over 80% of students rated the platform as “Very useful” or “Extremely useful” in keeping them engaged throughout.
- Approx. 50 hours saved by the educator.
- On average, students rated the overall experience as 8.5/10

“Once we decided on the challenge topic and content, the Anytime
Creativity platform and team handled everything seamlessly, freeing me to focus on teaching while maintaining oversight on student work throughout the process. It’s a great tool for busy educators.”
Dr. Thomas Macango,
Innovation Education Lead &
Innovation for Sustainability Module Coordinator,
UCD Innovation Academy
“The platform made our sustainability challenge feel exciting and easy to dive into. The breakdown into stages and dynamic tools along the way made it a smooth experience. The engaging, interactive interface
and the creative stage launches added a fun, dynamic element to the
experience too. It almost felt like we were being taken on a magical
mystery tour!”

Dr. Jean Fletcher, Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Teaching & Learning, wanted to engage her class of immunotherapeutics
students in a deeper learning experience, where they could foster
their creative problem-solving skills and challenge themselves beyond
traditional means – something that seemed quite daunting, given her
lack of the technical nature of the module and her lack of CBL
facilitation experience.

We worked closely with Jean to design a challenge that allowed
students to develop new ideas for the immunotherapeutics community. By using the platform, students were able to engage in collective
critical thinking and creative problem-solving, while staying within the scientific boundaries necessary for the subject.

- 95% of students found the platform ‘Very Useful’ or ‘Extremely Useful’ at deepening their subject matter knowledge
- 100% of students found the platform ‘Very Useful’ or ‘Extremely
Useful’ at supporting effective collaboration - On average, students rated the overall experience as 8.5/10
- 15% increase in students’ confidence to generate creative ideas

“We used Anytime Creativity within our immunotherapeutics class to
challenge students in a way that went beyond traditional methods,
fostering a deeper, more engaged learning experience. The platform
allowed me to seamlessly integrate challenge-based learning into the
module, encouraging collaboration, creative thinking and critical
analysis.”
Dr. Jean Fletcher
Associate Professor of Immunotherapeutics and Director of Undergraduate Teaching & Learning
Trinity School of Biochemistry & Immunology
“It was a fun challenge to do that got us thinking about drug
development in a different way.”
