DevEd International is a small, versatile consulting firm dedicated to educational technology, team-building, instructional design, and international development. We founded DevEd in 2007 but our experience spans three decades and over 30 countries.
How We Think
We believe in people. We believe diversity makes us stronger. And we believe that education and development have never been smarter, more effective, better for the environment, or able to transcend language, culture, disability, or geography.
Our international work has given us insight into what true problem-solving can be. Our experience helps us see solutions that are less expensive and more sustainable.
