Build EdTech Platforms That Actually Improve Learning
Learning management systems, virtual classrooms, and student engagement tools designed with pedagogy in mind and built on FERPA-compliant infrastructure.
Industry: Education
Pain Points
- Off-the-Shelf LMS Limitations: Platforms like Canvas and Blackboard are powerful but rigid. Custom grading rubrics, adaptive learning paths, and unique assessment types require expensive add-ons or workarounds.
- Student Engagement Is Declining: Completion rates for online courses hover around 5-15%. Passive video lectures fail to replicate the engagement of in-person instruction.
- Data Silos Across Campus Systems: Student information systems, LMS platforms, financial aid tools, and advising software rarely share data, forcing staff into manual reconciliation.
- FERPA Compliance Overhead: Any system touching student education records must comply with FERPA, requiring careful access controls, audit trails, and data sharing agreements.
Solutions
- Custom Learning Management Systems: Purpose-built LMS platforms with adaptive learning paths, multimedia content delivery, interactive assessments, and analytics dashboards for instructors.
- SCORM and xAPI content support
- Adaptive learning path engine
- Interactive quiz and assessment builder
- Progress analytics dashboard
- Discussion forums and peer review
- Virtual Classroom Platforms: Real-time virtual classrooms with video conferencing, breakout rooms, shared whiteboards, attendance tracking, and session recording.
- WebRTC video and audio
- Interactive whiteboard
- Breakout room management
- Automated attendance logging

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the software FERPA-compliant?
- Yes. We implement role-based access controls, audit logging, encrypted data storage, and configurable data retention policies to meet FERPA requirements for protecting student education records.
- Can you integrate with our existing SIS?
- We integrate with student information systems like Ellucian Banner, PowerSchool, and Infinite Campus through their APIs or SIF data standards.
- Do you support SCORM content packages?
- Yes. Our LMS builds support SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI (Tin Can) content packages, so you can import existing courseware from authoring tools like Articulate or Captivate.
