About Alchemy:
Alchemy provides over 60 institutions with the infrastructure to advance their digital innovation in teaching and learning with an AI-enhanced design system, Curie, and learning design services that save educators time as they create, innovate, and improve teaching and learning. Alchemy’s goal is to empower educators to be their best while bringing the joy back into teaching and learning.
About Curie:
Alchemy’s AI-enhanced system streamlines course design and delivery, by creating significant efficiencies for educators and learning design teams while easing collaboration and content sharing. Curie empowers educators to spend less than half the time it typically takes to develop a course by simplifying the development of everything from instructional content, to activities, and video. This enables institutions to drive consistency in teaching and learning while advancing evidence-based best practices. Curie increases educator satisfaction and student engagement to empower institutions to scale educational experiences that deliver the highest impact on student success.
About the relationship:
Alchemy had an urgent need to integrate Curie with Canvas and Brightspace for a partner learning institution. Because of this urgency, Alchemy’s CTO & SVP of Product Development, Magnus Stjernstrom, found Edlink online and reached out via chat, which led to setting a time to learn more about Edlink with Edlink's Nick La Riza.
In their first discussion, Alchemy expressed their team wanted to focus on rostering, SSO, and assignment syncing. Their goal was to let educators easily push educational resources from Curie directly into users' LMS platforms. After talking with Edlink, it was clear how integrations could help.
In one integration to Edlink, Curie could connect to 25+ LMS, SIS, and IAM providers, like Canvas and Brightspace, with powerful integrations just like SSO, rostering, and assignment syncing. By using Edlink, educators can push those assignments directly into a connected LMS. Through Edlink’s connections, Curie can save thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours not developing integrations one by one.
When asked why Alchemy chose Edlink over anything else they could have chosen, they said:
It was a “build vs buy, speed to market decision.”
