Education & Learning Platforms
Context
What the work looks like here
Education platforms serve the widest device and ability range of any sector we work in. Shared computers, old phones, assistive technology, slow connections, and institutional browser policies are all normal conditions rather than edge cases.
They also carry obligations: accessibility is frequently a legal requirement in education, and the data involves minors or student records with specific handling rules.
Constraints that shape the build
These are engineering decisions we make by default in this sector, before anyone asks for them.
- WCAG 2.2 AA as a baseline requirement, verified by keyboard and screen-reader testing
- Works on low-end devices, high zoom, and constrained networks
- Student data minimized, with retention and access documented
- Analytics designed to support teaching, not to surveil learners
Problems we solve
Where technology makes a measurable difference
Platforms that exclude some learners
Accessibility remediation to WCAG 2.2 AA, covering keyboard operation, screen readers, captioning paths, and interfaces that work at high zoom.
Course delivery that breaks on poor connections
Resilient content delivery with progressive loading, resumable media, and state that survives a dropped connection.
Assessment that is easy to game or hard to grade
Assessment tooling balancing integrity against practicality, with grading workflows that reduce instructor load honestly.
No early signal on struggling learners
Progress analytics that highlight disengagement while intervention is still useful, designed to inform teaching rather than rank students.
Typical work
What we are usually asked to build
- Learning and course delivery platforms
- Assessment and grading tools
- Student, instructor, and administrator portals
- Accessibility audits and remediation
- Progress and engagement analytics
- Integration with student information systems
