The challenge
Six universities were running climate courses on six different systems. Learners bounced between logins, and new partners had no simple way to join.
Our approach
One platform, many voices
We designed a shared identity that each university can co-brand without losing coherence, and a course platform built around short, accessible lessons.
A partner kit so new universities can launch a course in two weeks
Lessons designed mobile-first, with captions and transcripts by default
A public course catalogue that ranks well in search
The results
Orbit grew from six to twenty-two partners within a year, with one sign-in for every learner.
38,000 learners enrolled in the first term
Average course rating of 4.7 out of 5
Full WCAG 2.2 AA compliance across the platform
A team that listens closely, works in the open, and sweats every detail.
