Industry challenges

The problems Education teams face

Declining student engagement

Generic, one-size-fits-all learning experiences fail to meet students where they are, driving disengagement and dropout.

No visibility into at-risk students

Without predictive analytics, advisors can't identify struggling students until it's too late to intervene.

Outdated learning management systems

Legacy LMS platforms weren't built for mobile, real-time interaction, or personalized learning paths.

Data silos across academic systems

SIS, LMS, and financial aid systems that don't connect make institutional analytics nearly impossible.

Featured case study

Learning platform rebuild doubles student engagement

An online learning provider serving 12,000 students was running on a five-year-old LMS that loaded slowly on mobile, had no personalization, and generated constant complaint tickets. Student weekly active usage had been declining 8% per quarter. The engineering team had no capacity to rebuild it alongside product maintenance.

"Students actually want to use it now — that's the highest praise we can get. The early-warning system has already prevented dozens of withdrawals."

FAQ

Common questions about Education

Can you integrate with our existing LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle)?

Yes. We use LTI standards and REST APIs to integrate with or extend existing LMS platforms. Whether you're building on top of your current system or replacing it, we'll scope the right approach.

What FERPA considerations apply to student data projects?

FERPA governs how student education records can be used and disclosed. We build analytics and AI systems with FERPA-compliant data handling from the start — including consent management and access controls.
