AddressEdalex powers organisations’ single source of truth for skills, credentials and learning data. Founded in 2016, we develop education technology solutions that connect disparate systems and make educational data accessible and more meaningful.
We live and breathe our values:
- All hands on deck: Teamwork is at our core and is a key ingredient to our ongoing success as a growing company – internally and externally. We engage closely with our partners long-term to collaborate and co-create.
- Two steps ahead: Anticipating opportunities and risks enable us to exceed expectations and develop innovative, dynamic and scalable EdTech platforms that are truly differentiated.
- Build trust: Trust and respect go hand-in-hand, and it’s built over time through our actions. We strive to establish the most effective partnerships in education and deliver multi-layered win-win solutions.
- Get up and dance!: Life’s too short to not have some fun along the way! You don’t have to be a good dancer (we’re not!) to be up for a fun adventure.
Edalex brings together the team behind the CODiE award-winning openEQUELLA open source platform that centrally houses teaching and learning, research, media and library content. In 2019, Edalex launched Credentialate - a Credential Evidence Platform that increases the power and meaning of digital credentials and discovers and shares evidence of skills from learning. openRSD was released by Edalex in 2022 to help create, store and share rich skill descriptors (RSDs) and RSD collections - it’s now the world’s largest open library of RSDs. We received seven awards from around the world in 2023, and 4 so far in 2024!
