Set the work. Guide the teams. See them thrive.
Contribio turns student engagement into something you can design, reward and verify, with sponsor-funded projects, ready-made lesson templates and clear records of who did what.
From brief to verified results
Use your LSBU email to sign in. No new systems to learn.
Post a challenge or a lesson
Set a team project, or build a short lesson from a template in minutes.
Mentor and sign off
Teams submit milestones. You approve the work or send it back with a note.
Engaged students, proven
Clear records of engagement and skills, and students motivated to show up.
Everything you need in one staff portal
A lesson builder
Mix video, audio, reading, quizzes and reflections. Set a pass mark and minimum time, then publish.
Funded team projects
Run challenges paid for by sponsors and departments. Allocate lab time, kit and mentor hours.
Engagement you can verify
See engaged time, last activity and lesson results. Export a student's activity as CSV when you need proof.
Safe by design
Everything is moderated before students see it. Bigger rewards need two staff approvals.
Work with other universities
Share projects and lessons with partner universities. You choose who's invited.
Respectful integrity checks
Unusual patterns are flagged for a quiet word, never automatic penalties.
Rules you can rely on
For every student post
For rewards of 500 points or more
In every team project
No reward without money behind it
Privacy that students can see
Dashboards show summaries. To open an individual record you choose a reason, and the student sees who looked and why.
- Only activity inside the app is measured
- Every staff decision is logged
- Sponsors never see individual students
Quick answers for staff
How do I get a staff account?
Sign in with your LSBU email. If you need staff permissions, email support@contribio.app and we'll set them up.
Who pays the student rewards?
Sponsors, departments and vendors put money in first. Every challenge and lesson reward has to name a funded budget that can cover it, so nothing is promised that isn't paid for.
How long does it take to build a lesson?
Minutes. Start from a template (watch-check-reflect, read-and-check, listen-and-reflect), add your content and preview it as a student before you publish.
Can we work with other universities?
Yes. Share a project with the whole network or with chosen universities. Each university's staff decide whether their students can join.
