TAG Developments is the development division of TAG Learning Ltd., the award-winning publisher and supplier of best-of breed creative educational software tools, peripherals, training and support materials for schools in the UK that was founded by educators for educators in 1988.

Over the years, TAG Developments has produced a number of innovative and highly exciting online community and e-portfolio solutions. Our longstanding and deep affinity with the UK education marketplace, with teachers, subject coordinators and head teachers in particular, means that we strive to deliver solutions that are appropriate for the context they are being used and by the ability of the user.

TAG Developments has a great deal of experience in delivering collaborative, networking solutions for educators, ranging from those that are designed to empower teachers and enable them to share best practice, such as TAG Teacher Net – an online teacher community that now has nearly 66,000 members (www.tagteacher.net); through to web-based systems that are specifically focused on helping teachers and schools/colleges to better evidence student capability and to manage student coursework assessment – e.g. MAPS (Managed Assessment Portfolio System) www.mapseportfolio.com, the Red Pen Tool and the Desktop Tool.

For our client-based project work, all of the solutions that we develop are designed by TAG Developments in close collaboration with the client, our partner, in an iterative fashion, which allows us to very often go beyond initial client expectations with systems that mirror existing best practice and therefore which enable them to be adopted and embedded more rapidly. TAG Development’s projects have focused on delivering online systems to support community users to collaborate, share, moderate, assess, and that have also integrated with existing client back-end systems. All TAG Developments solutions are built on a range of tried and tested web part modules, ensuring that the resulting system will be reliable, robust and fully scalable, and that the overall solution can be delivered quickly and cost effectively.

Through a flexible and highly collaborative approach to projects, underpinned by Prince2 project management techniques, TAG Developments is able to work closely with the client to deliver a solution that:

• meets, and in many cases exceeds, customer requirements;
• delivers innovation;
• delivers a pedagogically sound solution;
• provides fit for purpose solutions to all users; and
• is delivered on time and within budget.

Over the past decade, TAG Developments has worked to establish itself as a brand valued both by teachers for the educational assurances it promises and by our commercial partners for the access we offer to cutting edge technologies within the context of the education market.
