EdTech

Learning platforms that hold attention and scale on results day

Learning management, assessment, cohort delivery and content platforms — accessible, measurable and resilient under concentrated load.

  • Tutoring and cohort-based learning platforms
  • Content authoring and curriculum tools

Sector challenges

What makes EdTech engineering different

  • Load arrives all at once

    Assessment deadlines and results releases concentrate an institution’s traffic into a short window, and failure at that moment is highly visible.

  • Accessibility is often a legal requirement

    Education software frequently has statutory accessibility obligations, and retrofitting is far more expensive than building correctly.

  • Learner data protection

    Data about minors carries stricter consent, retention and access requirements in most jurisdictions.

  • Engagement drops off quickly

    Completion rates depend on interaction design, feedback loops and pacing far more than on content volume.

  • Institutional integration requirements

    Schools and universities expect LTI, SIS integration and single sign-on before they will consider adoption.

Digital solutions

What we build for this sector

  • Learning management platforms

    Course construction, enrolment, progress tracking, cohort management and reporting for learners, instructors and administrators.

  • Assessment platforms

    Question banks, adaptive assessment, timed delivery, automated and manual marking, moderation and integrity controls.

  • Content authoring and delivery

    Authoring workflows, versioning, media handling, localisation and adaptive learning paths.

  • Cohort and live learning

    Scheduling, live session integration, attendance, group work and instructor tooling.

  • Credentialing

    Certificates, digital badges, verification and transcript integration.

  • Learning analytics

    Engagement, progression and outcome analytics for instructors and institutional reporting.

Products and platforms

Systems we can build for you

Delivered as new products, as modules inside an existing platform, or as a modernization of something you already run.

  • Learning management systems for schools, universities and enterprises
  • Assessment and examination delivery platforms
  • Course marketplaces and creator platforms
  • Corporate training and compliance learning systems
  • Tutoring and cohort-based learning platforms
  • Content authoring and curriculum tools
  • Student information and administration systems
  • Learning analytics and reporting dashboards

AI and automation

Where AI genuinely helps in EdTech

Applied where judgement is required and measurable. Everywhere else, deterministic software remains cheaper and easier to debug.

  • Formative feedback at scale

    Draft feedback on written work against a rubric, reviewed by an instructor before release, so learners get faster responses without removing the teacher.

  • Question generation

    Draft assessment items generated from course content, reviewed and approved by subject specialists before use.

  • Adaptive learning paths

    Recommending next activities based on demonstrated understanding rather than fixed sequence.

  • Learner support assistants

    Answering administrative and course-navigation questions from institutional content, with clear boundaries around graded work.

  • Early intervention signals

    Identifying disengagement patterns early so staff can intervene while it still helps.

Integrations

Systems we connect to

Integration work is usually where the estimate lives. We assess API quality and access early rather than assuming it.

  • LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage tool integration
  • Student information systems (PowerSchool, Ellucian, SITS)
  • Single sign-on (Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, Shibboleth)
  • Video conferencing and lecture capture
  • Plagiarism and integrity services (Turnitin)
  • Payment and enrolment providers
  • Content standards (SCORM, xAPI, QTI)
  • Credential verification services

Security and compliance

What we design for, and what we do not claim

We build and document controls that support your obligations. Certification and legal sign-off come from your auditors and counsel.

  • Accessibility

    Built to WCAG 2.2 AA to support Section 508, EN 301 549 and equivalent obligations, with conformance documented honestly including any gaps.

  • Protection of minors

    Consent, parental controls, data minimisation and retention designed to support COPPA, GDPR and regional education data requirements.

  • Assessment integrity

    Session controls, audit logging and access restrictions designed to support your academic integrity policy.

  • Institutional requirements

    Data residency, retention and security controls designed to satisfy institutional procurement and information governance review.
