The best of both worlds
with teaching as the starting point
PaperTek is built on a simple idea: physical books and digital tools have different strengths, and we want to bring together the best of both.
An app and a book
It started with the development of a learning app and companion books to go with it. Digital exercises were designed for work on screen, while the exercises in the books were adapted to paper.
The aim was to give pupils the chance to work through and consolidate their knowledge in different ways.
Paper and screen do different things well
The teaching of the future is not about choosing between book and screen, but about using both in a considered way.
- read calmly
- underline
- write by hand
- leaf back
- listen
- practise again
- get answers straight away
- see progress
We start in the classroom
Starting from concrete needs in everyday school life, PaperTek has grown into a wider range of teaching tools, including tools for running tests digitally.
It is the needs of teaching, not technology for its own sake, that decide what we make.

Three things we hold on to
Teaching first
We start with what teachers and pupils need, and let the technology follow.
Each way of working in its place
Some things are best done on paper, others on screen. We make learning materials that let them complement each other.
Simple in a busy day
The tools should be easy to start using, and the teacher should be in control of how they are used.
The best of both worlds, with teaching as the starting point.
