EDT&Partners Launches Lecture on AWS Marketplace: The First Open-Source Generative AI Framework for Education
The global release offers institutions scalable, secure, and customizable AI tools built for education — removing barriers to institutional AI adoption.
AWS Marketplace is a trusted digital catalogue used by thousands of institutions to find, test, and deploy software on AWS infrastructure. By listing Lecture on Marketplace, EDT&Partners removes friction from procurement and implementation — making it dramatically easier for institutions already using AWS to get started with responsible, scalable AI. It also signals to the broader education ecosystem that open frameworks like Lecture are the future of institutional technology adoption: flexible, transparent, and fully benefiting from the constant updates AWS makes to its cloud system’s safety and security protocols
GLOBAL — May 8, 2025 – EDT&Partners, a global consulting firm dedicated to driving educational innovation, is proud to announce that Lecture, the first open-source generative AI framework purpose-built for education, is now officially available on the AWS Marketplace.
This milestone marks a significant step in democratizing responsible AI for education — empowering K-12 schools, Higher Education institutions, governments and EdTech providers to deploy and scale powerful generative AI tools within their own environments, with full control over their data.
“Listing Lecture on AWS Marketplace not only amplifies access, but also reinforces our commitment to democratizing responsible AI in education”, said Benito Castellanos, VP of Technology at EDT&Partners. “With AWS’s global infrastructure and advanced AI services like Bedrock, institutions can now deploy and scale Lecture confidently — in their own environments, with full data control.”
