The winner of the 2023 prestigious Stationers’ Company Innovator of the Year award, held at Stationers’ Hall in London was awarded to A-dapt International Ltd for Ms Rose, Adaptive Media Math Tutor.

A new method for video-based learning, powered by human factors such as attention, positivity and learning engagement.

The Adaptive Media Maths Tutor adapts to the pace of the individual. It is the first ever video format where answers can be input and assessed directly in the video enabling pupils to follow the right learning pathway. Human factors are also assessed directly, using  Emotion AI technology, enabling the video tutor Ms Rose to assess attention and signs of maths anxiety. It is far superior to traditional linear video as it leads to improved engagement, which is especially useful for those learners who have short attention spans. 

The Master of The Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers, Mr Tony Mash said ‘ We are an organisation with an ancient heritage and a modern outlook, that supports the communication and content industries through fellowship, education, training and charitable endeavour.  

With that said, I trust you can see how important our Innovation Excellence Awards are to us.

I have seen some very exciting and bold innovations come through this Hall in the last 8 years and have recognised the ambition, the drive and the investment that has gone into each one. 

My optimism for the future comes from you, the innovators. Despite economic and political uncertainties which we all face, there is a recognition that innovation is the key not only to long term business prosperity but, in many cases, to competitive edge and business survival.
