Wooclap is a Belgian company that develops educational tools.
Launched in 2015, Wooclap was founded by Jonathan Alzetta and Sébastien Lebbe, engineers from the École Polytechnique in Brussels.[ citation needed ] Initially self-funded, the company raised €350,000 in 2017 to support its development. [1]
In January 2019, Wooclap received the "Innovative Starters" distinction from Innoviris, an institute for promoting scientific research and innovation in Brussels. [1]
Later in 2019, the company raised an additional €1.4 million. [2] [3]
In 2021, Wooclap was named Scale-Up of the Year by La Libre. [4]
By December of 2021, Wooclap had reached 1 million users, primarily consisting of teachers and trainers. [5] In 2023, Wooclap integrated artificial intelligence features, which can be used to create various questions and polls.[ citation needed ]
Since its launch in 2015, Wooclap has been studied by researchers for its effectiveness. [6] [7] [8] [9]
In a 2019 study, Lille University examined the effectiveness of Wooclap in medical education. The study concluded that students preferred Wooclap over traditional solutions, although it noted that Socrative, a similar tool, was similarly preferred by students. However, Wooclap was criticized for being the "most expensive" and "very limited" for its free tier. It also pointed to the fact that e-learning tools in general do not make it as easy to ask questions as a traditional lesson. [10]
