Build an edtech platform — online learning infrastructure for schools, companies, or creators.
Edtech platforms serve learners at scale. Whether K-12, corporate training, professional certification, or creator courses — the architecture needs to support content delivery, progress tracking, assessment, and learner engagement.
Education company, corporate L&D team, or online learning founder who needs a custom edtech platform with specific course structure, assessment, and certification requirements — not an LMS they can't customize
Generic LMS platforms (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard) have every feature and are designed for no one in particular. Custom edtech platforms are built for a specific learner and learning model.
Edtech platform differentiators:
Corporate training: Completion tracking for compliance, SCORM compatibility with existing course libraries, integration with HRIS for employee enrollment.
K-12: FERPA compliance (student privacy), parent/teacher access levels, district SSO (Clever, ClassLink).
Professional certification: Proctored assessments, certificate generation, credential verification.
Creator courses: Flexible course formats, community features, cohort-based vs. self-paced delivery.
SCORM and xAPI: SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference Model) is the standard for packaged e-learning content. Many organizations have existing SCORM courses. A custom LMS can run SCORM packages by implementing a SCORM runtime.
xAPI (Tin Can API) is the modern successor — tracks learning activity from any source, not just packaged courses.

Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Edtech platforms have defined course delivery, assessment, and tracking patterns. Fixed-price from the spec.

Questions, answered.
Yes. SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 runtime can be implemented in a custom LMS. For SCORM 2004, the runtime is complex — using an existing SCORM runtime library (SCORM Cloud's API or Rustici's Engine) is the right approach.
Cohort-based: students start and progress together on a fixed schedule, with live sessions and peer interaction. Self-paced: students start any time and progress at their own speed. The platform architecture differs for cohort (scheduled live events, batch enrollment) vs. self-paced (evergreen enrollment, no scheduled dependencies).
