Value proposition

Wooclap is an interactive platform that captivates students and measures their level of understanding.

Wooclap’s objective is clear: to turn students into actors of their learning. Beyond making classes more interactive and effective, the start-up wants to radically change the learning experience, whether it is face-to-face or remote, synchronous or asynchronous.

Wooclap was founded in 2015 by Jonathan Alzetta and Sébastien Lebbe, two engineers from the Ecole Polytechnique de Bruxelles passionate about education and technology. They came up with the idea of using smartphones, often seen as a source of distraction during classes, to allow students to interact with their teachers. Rather than fighting smartphones, Wooclap turns them into an exceptional learning tool.

From the outset, they surrounded themselves with neuroscientists, teachers, and learning technologists to develop a tool that would improve students' retention of information and comprehension. How? By making them active contributors to the learning process. The result is a simple and interactive platform that can be integrated into the teachers' Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It allows teachers to create questionnaires and surveys, and collect comments and questions during face-to-face or online lessons, live and asynchronously.

Today, Wooclap is available in seven languages to cater to its growing community. More than 1,000,000 teachers in more than 150 countries, and more than a hundred higher education institutions (Singapore Management University, Maastricht University, ESCP Europe Business School, Ecole Polytechnique, Università di Verona, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, etc...) use Wooclap to support their pedagogical strategy.

In 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, the two engineers came up with a new tool to help teachers and students get the most out of distance learning. Wooflash is a revision platform based on neuroscience and artificial intelligence, which allows teachers to track their learners’ progress and offers each student a personalised learning path.
