Trusted by leading educators

“For my regulatory affairs and toxicology module, we created a customised, non-assessed Innovation Challenge for 165 Masters students based on new EMA directives & guidelines. The participation rates were very high and the quality of ideas were superb. Students were buzzing. It was a fabulous Challenge, low hassle for me and high impact for students. Highly recommended.”

Craig Slattery, Assistant Professor of Regulatory Affairs & Toxicology, UCD School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science

“Running a challenge in our Management & Strategy class allowed me to stay closely involved in students’ progress while the platform handled the details. It was great to see students learning by doing & developing key problem-solving skills, both collaboratively and through the individual components. Students loved the AI component, understanding how it can be used properly and effectively.”

Christina Ryan, Lecturer of Strategy & Management, TU Dublin Faculty of Business

“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.”

Jean Fletcher, Director of Undergraduate Teaching and Learning, Trinity School of Biochemistry and Immunology

“In my sustainability module, 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 to keep oversight on progress and nudge students to action.”

Thomas Macango, Education Innovation Lead (Sustainability), UCD Innovation Academy

Benefitting students, educators & institutions

Accelerate student success

Our platform breaks assignments and projects into clear, manageable stages with known milestones and frequent opportunities for success. This structure keeps students focused, encourages consistent effort, and creates a sense of achievement that sustains motivation and engagement throughout the learning journey.

Our platform helps students build problem-solving skills by guiding them through research, ideation, iteration, and validation. With expert and AI feedback, collaborative tools, and structured real-world challenges, learners develop critical thinking, adaptability, and creative confidence while tackling real-world problems.

Our platform is designed to develop critical competencies identified in the World Economic Forum’s “Jobs of the Future” report, including critical and analytical thinking, creative thinking, adaptability, agility, collaboration, empathy, and digital fluency. By embedding these soft or “power skills” into the learning process, we prepare students for the evolving demands of the workforce.

Anytime Creativity ensures equal opportunities for all learners, enabling neurodiverse, deaf or hard-of-hearing, blind or partially sighted and culturally diverse students to collaborate on a level playing field, share perspectives, and co-create impactful solutions.

FAQs

By combining dynamic, hands-on, real-world challenges alongside teamwork, feedback loops and guided reflection, students become active participants in their learning. Educators consistently see higher motivation, engagement, participation and interaction as they collaborate, apply creative ideas to practical situations, and take genuine ownership of their progress.

There is extensive academic research to support how active learning impacts engagement & learning outcomes: Kolb (1984), Hake (1998), Freeman et al. (2014), Picard & Guerin (2015), Hørsted & Nygaard (2017) and Elbarrad & Saccucci (2018).

This totally varies depending on the emphasis that you, the educator, wants to place on the challenge as part of your module.

Typically we see challenges run over 3-4 weeks within a module – approximately a week for each of the key stages. This allows time for effective collaborative problem-solving and individual contributions.

The platform also serves as an excellent tool for improving the effectiveness, output and learning experience of learning sprints or hackathons. Here we easily strip back some of the stages so that learners can complete in 2-4 hours.

Ultimately, it is totally the educator/facilitator’s decision on how long a challenge lasts and the weight (if any) that it carries as part of the module assessment.

The simple answer is that you will assess in the same way as you currently assess, taking the same amount of time. Your students will receive an ‘Impact Portfolio’ of all their work on completion of their assignment. They upload this PDF to the VLE and you assess accordingly.

Also, our team of educators are experienced at designing active learning assessment rubrics, and are on-hand to help you.

The Anytime Creativity platform is designed to give all students equal access to our active learning tools. We provide a VPAT version 2.5 report showing our compliance with accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.2.

Our structured problem-solving process guides students through deadline-driven stages, supportive progress checkpoints, and motivational nudges, with opportunities for rapid reflection. This approach ensures that students from all backgrounds can engage at their own pace, collaborate effectively across cultures, and benefit from clear guidance and built-in support throughout the learning journey.

Yes! The platform is secure, FERPA-compliant, and SOC 2 Type II ready. We are currently undergoing a SOC 2 Type II audit with the support of Vanta, ensuring our systems meet the highest standards for security, availability, and data protection. Audit documentation is available, along with HECVAT Full and Lite forms to verify compliance and security readiness.

Not at all — the platform is intuitive, browser-based, and comes with templates and guidance, so you can get started in minutes without any coding knowledge. We handle all of the heavy lifting from a technology standpoint and integrate your preferred structure and wording.

No — this is first and foremost an active learning platform.

While it includes optional AI tools to help students get quick, informative feedback on their ideas, these are carefully guard-railed to support learning, not replace it. The AI never provides answers — it simply prompts students to think deeper and research further. We call it “AI for Good”. But remember, these AI tools are entirely optional.

Educators using Anytime Creativity have shared measurable improvements in student motivation, engagement, learning, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. For more on this click on Case-Studies, which also have educator testimonials). We can also introduce you to these educators if you like.

During the active learning experience itself, an intuitive dashboard will enable you to easily track student progress in real-time.
