Our Work
WGU Labs threads together ideas, the science of learning, and capital to advance positive student outcomes. As trailblazers, thinkers, and doers in the space, we are committed to increasing equity and building learning environments where all students can succeed.
Our innovation funnel guides our approach to business strategy, planning, and decisions. With our collaborators we move ideas and solutions through the phases of ideation, piloting, and incubation by asking questions, evaluating merit, and providing direction on our clients’ and our own projects.

Our ModelKey Initiatives
