The varying business models of online and offline edtech start ups Online and real-life learning platforms as an opportunity to enhance student progression within the work place How do online and real-life learning platforms sit alongside University degrees? Advice to edtech start ups from Howdo and Crehana Quotations: From Howdo: ‘We believe that it’s really important still for educational learning - especially of adults - to not just take place online’ ‘We are starting in London and that’s because there is such a rich variety of classes and courses already here.’ ‘Real-life learning is about workshops, classes and in-person courses to have a learning experience.’ ‘We are focusing solely on offline currently.’ ‘Maybe they are a closet artist and take a life-drawing course for the first time’ ‘Soundcloud was an amazing experience and a fantastic start-up learning experience.’ From Crehana: ‘There is no type of online training solutions for them in their own local language. There is a high concentration of online education companies in English, but when we look at emerging markets such as Latam or Eastern Europe there is actually no type of supply.’ ‘We launched Crehana a year ago and we now have more than 115, 000 users from 15 countries in Latam and Spain. We are solving a huge pain which is access to high quality education.’ ‘we target all of the creative professionals - aspiring creatives and independent freelancers.’ ‘Right now we are focusing on doubling down in Spain and Latam, but we think we will enter Brazil by the end of 2016.’ ‘We want to solve access to high quality education in emerging markets.’ Reading and resources: Emerge Education Edspace Crehana Howdo Soundcloud FutureLearn Khan Academy
