“Open Response changes everything.”

Julianna Stockton

University of Kansas

“Muzzy Lane's tools and capabilities creating interactive simulations have helped us solve two critical issues. First, the simulations have dramatically enhanced the learner experience. Perhaps more importantly for our institutional partners, they have helped us scale assessment, which is a game changer in the world of digital badging.”

Don Frasier

Education Design Lab

“As an instructor, I use Muzzy Lane simulations because they promote critical thinking and problem solving, which are important career readiness skills. The activities allow students to analyze information, make decisions, and quickly see outcomes - something I couldn’t do in my classes in the past!”

Patrick Soleymani

George Mason University

“I've used Author in Teacher Education courses, Nursing courses, and General Ed courses, and it's great for engaging students with complicated, abstract concepts in fresh and compelling ways.”

Kelly Morris

Western Governors University

“I had a great experience working with Muzzy Lane on the development of three simulations for our course HIS350: World War I. It is a credit to their development process and the Author tool that the simulations have continued to run smoothly for each group of students in the course since 2016, even as we changed our LMS.”

Mary Berkery

Excelsior University

“We needed to create a high-quality experience quickly, at scale, and efficiently. Enter Muzzy Lane – not a vendor but a true end-to-end solutions partner in every sense. Accessible, mobile, integrated simulations went live across multiple disciplines within a very short period of time by leveraging Muzzy Lane tools and training services; a remarkable accomplishment with an incredible partner.”
