We are on a mission to improve student wellbeing by helping all students find friendship and develop a sense of belonging.
In 2015 the top-ranked BI Norwegian Business School (BI) initiated a project that would become a 5-year development project based on the BI2020 report, with the purpose of finding out how the students' digital learning environment should be developed. The project started with the goal of increasing student engagement in Higher Education, but evolved along the way to focus on reducing dropout rates.
Differ (also known as EdTech Foundry AS) was founded as a private company to be a R&D partner for BI LearningLab, that could also collaborate with other institutions and operate independently.
