Project

SignalPaths is an project that helps young people learn in a more flexible, personalised, and engaging way. It’s designed especially for those who may feel disconnected from traditional education, including young people not in school, training, or work (NEETs).

The idea is simple: everyone learns differently, and learning should adapt to the person — not the other way around.

This project creates digital tools that follow each learner’s path, offering the right support at the right time. Our agency led the development of the main technology used in the project.

What the Project Does

SignalPaths uses simple signals, like how fast someone is moving through lessons, what they’re clicking on or how often they come back to gently adjust what content they see next. It’s like a smart learning companion that pays attention and adapts.

What We Built

1. Mobile Learning App

A friendly, easy-to-use app that delivers short lessons on:

• Life skills

• Mental health

• Creativity and career planning

• Digital skills and citizenship

The app includes:

• Quizzes and interactive content

• Mini-challenges and games

• Personal progress tracking

• Tips and encouragement based on activity

2. Smart Learning Engine

Behind the app is a system that watches how learners interact — and then adjusts what comes next. For example:

• If someone is going too fast, it might suggest a review

• If they haven’t opened the app in a while, it might offer a short, fun activity to re-engage

• If they’re stuck, it can recommend easier content first

3. Educator Dashboard

Teachers and youth workers get a simple tool to:

• Upload and organise content

• Track learner progress

• See what’s working and what needs improvement

• Send group or individual challenges

4. Toolkit for Youth Workers

We also helped create a practical guide for educators on how to use the platform in group activities, one-on-one coaching, or blended learning sessions.

Why It’s Useful

• Helps learners stay motivated and feel supported

• Gives educators better insight into their group’s needs

• Encourages independent learning, one small step at a time

• Works both online and offline — even in areas with limited internet
