Learning platforms students and staff will use.
Learning platforms, student and parent apps, AI that helps teach and grade with teachers in control, and the admin systems behind them. For institutions and edtech companies that need software to work for every learner, including the ones using a screen reader.
Who we work with in Education & EdTech
- A school, college, or training provider whose LMS is a source of complaints rather than learning.
- A course business that has outgrown a marketplace and wants its own platform.
- A teaching team spending evenings grading work that could be pre-marked against a rubric.
- An edtech company that must meet accessibility and data-protection requirements to sell to institutions.
What slows Education & EdTech down, and what we build for it
Four problems we see in nearly every Education & EdTech engagement. Pick one to see how we approach it and what you would have at the end.
The problem
The LMS is slow, the video player fails on phones, assessments are clunky, and content from publishers will not load because standards were never implemented properly.
How we approach it
A learning platform built around how your courses are actually taught: video that works on any connection, assessments with feedback, progress tracking, and the standards institutions require.
What you get
- Learning platform with courses, cohorts, and progress
- Adaptive video streaming with captions
- Assessments, quizzes, and feedback workflows
- SCORM and LTI support for publisher content

Questions Education & EdTech clients ask
Do you build on an existing LMS or from scratch?
Either. If Moodle, Canvas, or another LMS fits, we extend and integrate it. If the way you teach does not fit an LMS, we build a platform around it. The scope call decides which.
How do you handle student data protection?
Data stays in your accounts, access is role-based and logged, and retention follows the policy your institution sets. We document data flows for your data-protection officer.
Can AI grading be trusted?
As a first pass, with a teacher deciding. We build pre-grading against your rubric, show the reasoning, and make overruling one click. Accuracy is measured against teacher grades before it is switched on.
Will the platform be accessible?
Yes. WCAG 2.2 AA is part of the scope, not an add-on, and we test with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation before launch.
