UCL Med School Built an Educational Ecosystem on Bubble

Taylor Bennie, head of digital education at University College London Medical School, transformed the institution's outdated Microsoft Access system into a dynamic, web-based platform using Bubble, a no-code development tool. Initially challenged by the high costs of traditional software solutions and the unique requirements of medical education, Taylor leveraged his background as an instructional designer to create a custom tool for managing medical school tutoring and curriculum mapping. Over six months, he independently learned Bubble and developed an app that now supports 12,000 users, incorporating student feedback to enhance functionality and user experience. This collaborative, iterative approach has not only streamlined internal processes but also attracted interest from other universities, leading to the Curriculum Map being offered as a software as a service. Integrations with Microsoft 365, Sendgrid, and other tools have further enhanced the platform's capabilities, making it a potential revenue source for the school and demonstrating the transformative potential of no-code solutions in educational settings.
