Swinburne partners with industry-leading EdTech company Vidversity

Swinburne University of Technology has partnered with leading EdTech company, Vidversity,  to co-design the next generation of digital learning tools.

As part of this new partnership, a joint project will run from June 2025 to May 2026 to advance the development of these tools. Both organisations will co-design new platform features that streamline course creation, enhance user experience, and offer optional personalisation features.

The project will build upon Vidversity’s strong foundation in privacy and security-focused solutions and using emerging technologies, such as AI.

The collaboration is backed by Swinburne Ventures Limited, Swinburne’s commercial investment arm. Vidversity will join a growing portfolio of ventures that are using Swinburne’s expertise in technology application to create the industries of the future.  

"Partnering with Swinburne enables us to fast-track the development of new features that will directly benefit our clients," says Liz Kollias, CEO of Vidversity. "We’re particularly excited about making the platform more intuitive and responsive to the way people teach and learn today and into the future."

The collaborative partnership highlights Swinburne’s leadership in digital education research.

"This collaboration is a great example of industry partnership translating into real-world impact," said Zahra Shahbazian, Commercial Innovation Expert in Residence at Swinburne. "We’re excited to help shape tools that empower educators and improve learning outcomes, whether that is in the workplace or the classroom."

This investment reflects Swinburne’s broader focus on supporting startups that align research expertise with real-world innovation challenges through equity-based partnerships.
