Taking Edtech to the Next Level With a Virtual Learning Platform

Learned.Live is an innovative Edtech platform designed by teaching professionals to connect passionate teachers and adult learners through live, interactive online courses. Launched in July 2020, it aims to be the world’s favorite live online learning platform, offering over 275 courses across 14 categories. Emphasizing community, real-time learning, and instant feedback, it provides diverse learning opportunities beyond traditional academics, integrating Zoom, PayPal, and Stripe for a secure, personalized user experience.

With the surge in online education during the coronavirus pandemic, Learned.Live needed to swiftly develop a GDPR-compliant Edtech platform to lead the UK market. The platform required complex features like course showcasing, personalized student experiences, and robust data security. Initially built by a UK-based boutique agency, the project’s complexity soon necessitated a partner with extensive expertise, a larger team, and the ability to deliver within a strict budget and timeline.

Dotsquares enhanced Learned.Live’s PHP and CodeIgniter-based platform, delivering critical upgrades, fixes, and automation for a more stable and robust system. Our contributions included group booking enhancements, corporate hub sign-up and landing pages, gift voucher and referral code functionality, updated admin areas, social media logins, improved course booking and applications, and SEO implementation. A part-time project manager facilitated seamless coordination, addressing cultural and language challenges to meet the client’s dynamic needs.

Since its UK launch in November 2020, Learned.Live has grown to include over 200 teachers, 275 courses across 14 categories, and 1,500 user registrations, with enrollments rising weekly. The platform’s strong site health metrics—low bounce rate, high page views, and above-average session durations—reflect excellent user engagement. Its corporate section has attracted high-profile companies for remote training and team-building, cementing Learned.Live’s position as a leader in the Edtech market for live online learning.

Review

“Our experience with Dotsquares has been entirely positive and a breath of fresh air. They’ve been flexible, helpful, and always go the extra mile to meet our rapidly changing needs. Despite cultural and language challenges, their part-time project manager ensured successful delivery. We feel Dotsquares is an integral part of our team and wish we’d switched to them earlier. We look forward to expanding our platform with their support and highly recommend them for digital projects.”
