BBC Adaptive Learning RFI

At BBC Bitesize, our mission is to help every child in the UK reach their full potential, learning every day in their own way. We aim to create a personal connection between learners and the BBC that endures throughout their school years, not just at exam time.

We know students have a unique combination of learning needs and abilities that evolve as they get older. Our audiences tell us they would like more quizzes, more interactivity, more sense of progression and the ability to "practice" and get feedback as they learn. Bitesize needs to be able to better meet these needs on an individual basis through personalised, adaptive learning and revision experiences.

Subsequently we are interested in hearing from organisations that have established capabilities, products or services which deliver AI-driven adaptive learning and revision experiences for young learners. Our goal is to learn how best to meet our product requirements from a technology perspective, as well as to validate use cases we believe could bring our audience value.

Responding to this RFI is not a prerequisite for participation in a subsequent procurement, nor does it give any advantage in that procurement. The BBC would welcome responses to this RFI so that it can build an understanding of current capabilities, in what the BBC knows to be a quickly evolving marketplace.
