EDIA is very proud to have won the NBD Biblion Challenge 2020 with our Personalised reading solutions for Dutch libraries.

For several years EDIA has collaborated with various companies to promote and improve the use of adaptive learning across digital education. We do this through AI and machine learning techniques which allow traditional content, like books and articles to be converted into digitally tagged and classified content which can be used to achieve fully personalized and adaptive learning.

BureauTaal, a Dutch language and training agency, and EDIA, an Amsterdam technology company applying Artificial Intelligence to create smart content for educational use, have joined forces to better serve BureauTaal’s customers by delivering EDIA technology in Texamen, a CEFR readability tool for text writers. Texamen helps authors to check the level of readability of their texts to ensure their audience understand them.

Avallain, a Swiss-based company, that provides award-winning education technology and tools to create, manage and disseminate educational content, and EDIA, Dutch-based, EdTech company applying Artificial Intelligence to create smart content for educational use, have announced a technical and commercial partnership.

EDIA and Adaptemy join forces to automate curriculum creation and content management.

EDIA, an Amsterdam AI EdTech company specialising in the automation of content creation, management, and distribution processes for educational companies, and Adaptemy, a leading provider of classroom-focused adaptive learning technology today announced a strategic partnership. The two companies will work together to help educational publishers accelerate production and delivery of adaptive content suitable for personalised learning.

In 2018, EDIA released its first integration version with Alfresco. This year EDIA powered its artificial intelligence capabilities to FontoXML. FontoXML is a web-based XML editor that is used by subject matter experts around the world to create structured content. 

EDIA started their transition from a project-based service provider to a product-based and SaaS company in 2018. To accelerate this transition and focus even more on product development, EDIA and Trifork entered into a strategic partnership. The current customer portfolio of EDIA's education and eHealth software services will be transferred to Trifork, including associated knowledge and several employees.

Traditional methods of creating and managing publishing work can be significantly improved through the efficiency made available by new technologies. One of them is Artificial Intelligence (AI).  However, for many publishers, AI still seems abstract and unclear and how it can help them. 

Luckily tools like Papyrus make the benefits of AI clear for teachers, publishers and the authors who work with them. Papyrus allows authors working with publishers in English Language Teaching (ELT) industry to correctly ascertain the language level of their writing and adjust it accordingly. For publishers - particularly educational publishers who work with large amounts of content which need to be organised, classified and created according to language level - tools like Papyrus increase efficiency and fit perfectly into a productive publishing value chain. 

At EDIA we aim to improve our products and services in the direction our customers want us to go. That's why we are regularly seeking feedback and reviews. Once we've collected customers' requests, we handover them to our product development team, which then plans how the products will be improved in the short and long term.

From Google Maps integrated into a website to credit card payments, more and more industries are using an Application Programming Interface and educational publishers are no exception.
