EDT&Partners is advancing its mission to transform education through Lecture, the first open-source, modular, generative AI framework designed for the education and knowledge industries. Since its launch, Lecture has been adopted by leading academic institutions and pioneering EdTech providers worldwide, demonstrating how AI can be a trusted learning companion when built with transparency, educator control, and equity at its core.

From leading academic institutions across Europe to Arabic-language learning platforms in the Middle East, Lecture is reshaping how educators, learners, and institutions harness AI, not as a black box, but as an open, adaptable, and pedagogically meaningful framework.

Unlike closed AI tools, Lecture is open-source and interoperable by design. Institutions deploy it within their own infrastructure (utilizing cloud support in AWS), ensuring complete control over data, observability, and governance. Every prompt, rule, and configuration is transparent, enabling institutions to trust and adapt the system to their own operational and teaching context.

On the near-term Lecture roadmap are new capabilities designed to support meaningful teaching and learning. The latest product releases include:

  • Content Generator: An agentic content engine that enables educators to easily design lesson plans, quizzes, rubrics, and tailored materials, with the ability to edit in real time and iterate quickly.
  • Agentic Wizards: Specialized AI assistants providing students and teachers with step-by-step guidance through tasks, making learning more adaptive and effective.
  • Accessibility at scale: Seamless integration with leading LMS platforms such as Moodle and Canvas through LTI 1.3, alongside availability on AWS Marketplace for easier adoption.
  • Advanced Analytics & Observability: Just-in-time data on performance, usage, costs, and other relevant analytics for all stakeholders.

The education space is currently served by a plethora of SaaS initiatives that support highly focused AI use cases, many of which are valuable and needed for individual schools and smaller implementations. However, a clear gap remains for enterprise-level, fully customizable, and interoperable solutions that protect digital sovereignty and provide governments, universities, and large organizations with complete control. Lecture fills that gap, offering the foundational framework institutions need to scale their AI strategies responsibly and sustainably.

"Lecture was created with a simple mission: to make AI in education open, equitable, and pedagogically sound," said Pablo Langa, Founder & Managing Partner of EDT&Partners. "By keeping Lecture open-source and built for collaboration, we're giving institutions, governments, and EdTech providers the infrastructure to innovate responsibly, while ensuring transparency, educator control, and long-term trust remain at the core."
