Muzzy Lane
Muzzy Lane is a Massachusetts edtech company that builds tools for creating game-based learning simulations and roleplay assessments. Its flagship no-code Author platform lets instructional designers and publishers build immersive, decision-driven activities without programming, while its SkillBuild courses pair simulations with AI coaching to award durable-skills microcredentials.

David McCool
David McCool is the co-founder, President and CEO of Muzzy Lane, a Massachusetts edtech company that builds 'no coding required' tools for creating online role-play simulations that teach and auto-assess skills. An MIT-trained electrical engineer who once bought a TRS-80 with paper-route money, he spent the 1990s building carrier-grade networking gear before turning his attention to whether software could make learning as engaging as a great video game. Since 2002 he has steered Muzzy Lane from WWII strategy game 'Making History' through publisher partnerships with McGraw-Hill to its current focus on SkillBuild microcredentials and generative-AI authoring tools, with tens of millions of assessments delivered.
