Is your app FERPA and COPPA compliant?

We build for FERPA and COPPA compliance where they apply, which depends on your institution type, the age of your users, and how student data is stored and shared. We map the applicable requirements during discovery rather than applying a single standard to every build.

Can you build an app for children under 13?

Yes, with COPPA requirements built in from the start: parental consent flows, restricted data collection, and content moderation appropriate for the age group. Apps for younger learners require a different design approach that we account for during discovery.

Who owns the app after it’s built?

You do. Source code, App Store Connect account, and Google Play Console account are all yours from the start. We stay on as collaborators you can remove at any time, with no dependency on us for access to your course content or learner data.

Can you build accessibility features into the app?

Yes. Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance can be built into the app from the start, including screen reader support, sufficient colour contrast, keyboard navigation, and captions for video content. Accessibility is easier to build in than to retrofit after launch.

Education App Development Company

Generic learning management systems are built for the median institution, which means they fit most use cases adequately and a specific use case not at all. A university running a medical simulation program, a corporate training team delivering compliance certification, and a consumer EdTech startup building a language app all have different learner journeys that a shared LMS template cannot accommodate.

For EdTech startups, the problem is different and more immediate. Completion rate is the metric that decides whether a learning product is working, and completion rate is determined almost entirely by whether the experience is engaging enough to bring a learner back the next day. Generic platforms make that difficult. A custom app built around your content and your learner is where that problem gets solved.

01

Course Delivery and Progress Tracking

Video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and progress tracking in a learning flow designed around completion rather than just content delivery.

02

LMS and SIS Integration

Connecting your app to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, or your student information system so grades, enrolment, and progress stay in sync without duplicate entry.

03

Assessment and Certification Tools

Quizzes, proctored assessments, competency tracking, and digital certificates issued automatically on course completion or exam pass.

Learner engagement in a digital product is not solved by good content alone. It is solved by an experience that removes friction at every step: a course that picks up where the learner left off, a notification that arrives at the right moment rather than the wrong one, a mobile app that works during a commute rather than only on a laptop at a desk. We build the engagement layer as deliberately as the content layer.

Compliance in educational technology carries real consequences for institutions. FERPA governs how student records are stored, shared, and accessed at any institution receiving federal funding. COPPA applies to any app collecting data from users under 13. Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards apply to publicly funded educational technology and increasingly to consumer products as well. We map the applicable requirements before the first wireframe exists.

01Discovery

We map your curriculum, your learner journey, and your existing LMS or SIS systems before any design decisions are made.

02Design

We prototype the learner and educator experience and test it with real users before any development budget is committed to the build.

03Development

We build in sprints with regular check-ins so your academic and product teams can review real learning flows without waiting on a final delivery.

04Testing

Every build goes through accessibility testing and LMS integration validation before release so compliance and connection issues are caught before launch.

We build apps across the full range of education and training contexts, from K-12 and higher education institutions to corporate learning platforms and consumer EdTech: K-12 schools and districts, higher education and universities, corporate training and L&D, professional certification and licensing, language learning platforms, STEM and coding education, special education and accessibility, early childhood and pre-K, tutoring and test prep, and EdTech startups and publishers.

FERPA, COPPA, and Accessibility Compliant

04

Support Through Every Academic Cycle

We connect apps to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, or your SIS through LTI and API connections, so grades and enrolment stay in sync.

Courses that pick up where a learner left off, well-timed notifications, and a mobile experience that works during a commute are built in from the start, not added after low completion rates show up.

We map FERPA, COPPA, and Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA requirements to your specific institution type and user age before the first wireframe exists.

We stay on after launch for curriculum updates, LMS version changes, and new course or cohort additions as your program grows.
