WGU Labs offers learning design and development services tailored to your long-term goals, making your learning more effective, engaging, equitable, and scalable. Pay only for the services you need. All of our services can be customized, bundled, or used individually.
Education needs effective and scalable solutions for learners who are left out. Our initiatives skip broad, mass-appeal approaches in which profit or traditional measures are the goal. Instead, we focus on bold projects, pushing ourselves, our partners, and postsecondary education into areas not yet ventured to uncover solutions for learners who must navigate systemic barriers to reach opportunity. In pursuit of that goal, our initiatives are flexible, assuming the format that is needed to meaningfully understand a challenge and inform a solution.
Progress depends on exploration. We lead bold, focused experiments to understand what is effective so institutions can make informed decisions at scale and confidently expect a return on investment.
Solutions LabFor too long advancement in higher education has happened in silos. We convene stakeholders around critical, well-defined initiatives to develop comprehensive solutions.
