EdTech Development

Learning Platforms People Actually Finish

Learning management systems, course apps, live tutoring and progress analytics, built with the privacy and accessibility rules schools and universities require.

What Education Software Does Fajarix Build?

We build learning management systems, online course apps, live tutoring platforms, adaptive learning features, progress dashboards and certificate systems. The work suits course creators, training companies and education startups selling to schools. We can build a complete platform or add one missing piece to the system you already run.

  • Learning Management Systems

    Course builders, enrollment, SCORM and xAPI content, assessments and instructor dashboards, for schools, universities and corporate training.

Why Do Learners Drop Out of Online Courses?

Learners usually leave in the first days, when onboarding is confusing, video buffers, or there is no sense of progress. Teachers often cannot see who is struggling until it is too late. Good platforms fix these problems through product design, not by adding more badges.

  1. The First Week Is the Hardest

    Self-paced courses lose most learners early. Onboarding, a quick first win and a clear next lesson matter more than the size of the catalog.

  2. Video That Stalls

    Learners on school Wi-Fi or mobile data give up on buffering lessons. Adaptive streaming and downloads keep them watching.

  3. Teachers Cannot See Who Is Struggling

    Pageview charts do not help an instructor. They need to see who has stopped, which question trips people up, and when to step in.

  4. Rewards Without Substance

    Points and badges wear off within weeks when nothing real sits underneath. Engagement has to come from the learning itself.

Which Privacy and Accessibility Rules Apply to Education Apps?

It depends on who uses the product and where. Apps for children in the US fall under the FTC’s COPPA Rule, as amended in 2025, and in the UK under the Children’s Code. Products holding student records fall under FERPA, and almost every school sale asks for accessibility conformance. These rules shape the design, so we check them first and build the product to support your compliance.

RuleWhen It AppliesWhat It Means for the Product
COPPAUS products used by children under 13The FTC’s COPPA Rule, as amended in 2025, calls for verifiable parental consent before collecting a child’s personal data, separate consent before sharing it for advertising, and limits on how long it is kept. It shapes sign-up and analytics, so we design for it from the start.
FERPAProducts holding US school or university student recordsThe school controls the data, not you. Expect data agreements, deletion on request and no reuse of student data for marketing or model training. We build the product to support those terms.
UK Children’s Code and GDPRProducts children are likely to use in the UK or EUHigh-privacy defaults, location off by default, clear consent language and no design tricks that push children toward weaker privacy.
WCAG 2.2 AA and Section 508Almost every sale to a school district or universityKeyboard access, captions and screen-reader-tested flows, usually documented in a VPAT before procurement signs.
Clever and ClassLinkUS K-12 district contractsSingle sign-on and automatic class roster sync, so districts do not have to create thousands of student accounts by hand.

Which Engagement Features Keep Learners Going?

The features that work are rooted in how people learn: spaced practice, fast feedback, visible progress toward a real goal, and learning with others. Decoration such as points, badges and global leaderboards tends to fade quickly, and can discourage the average learner rather than help them.

Often Overrated

  • Points and badges with nothing meaningful behind them
  • Global leaderboards that discourage everyone outside the top few
  • Long unbroken video lectures with no interaction
  • Notifications sent daily whether or not they help

What Tends to Work

  • Streaks that forgive a missed day instead of resetting to zero
  • Spaced repetition that brings material back at growing intervals
  • Instant feedback that explains why an answer was wrong
  • A visible progress bar toward a goal the learner can name
  • Cohorts with real deadlines and classmates

How Do We Build an Education Platform?

Six stages, with teachers and learners involved early, and a pilot before the full launch.

  1. Discovery

    Who learns, who teaches and who buys. We check which privacy and accessibility rules apply before a screen is designed.

  2. Learning Design

    Course structure, assessments and progress rules agreed with your educators, so the product supports how people actually learn.

  3. Prototype With Learners

    Clickable screens tested with real students or teachers. Confusing flows are fixed while changes are still cheap.

  4. Build in Sprints

    Two-week sprints with a working demo each time. Content tools arrive early so your team can start loading courses.

  5. Pilot

    A limited launch with one school, cohort or client. We watch analytics and feedback, then fix what gets in the way.

  6. Launch and Improve

    Full rollout, load testing before term starts, and ongoing improvements based on completion and outcome data.

  • A demo of working software every two weeks
  • Repository access from the first commit
  • Accessibility built in
  • Course Builder
  • Video Lessons
  • Quizzes and Exams

Education Technology We Work With

Learning standards, platforms, live video and analytics tools we build with and connect to.

How Much Does EdTech Development Cost?

Fixed-Price Projects typically start from $3,000 for a small, clearly defined piece of work, such as a course app prototype or a tutoring booking flow. Full learning management systems and live tutoring platforms cost more, depending on integrations, apps and compliance needs. You receive a written proposal within 48 hours of the scoping call.

Many education products are mostly used on phones. If yours is, our mobile app development team builds the iOS and Android apps alongside the web platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does COPPA Apply If Children Are Not Our Target Audience?

    Possibly. The FTC’s COPPA Rule, as amended in 2025, applies when a service is aimed at children or when you know under-13s use it, and the UK Children’s Code applies whenever children are likely users. If your subject, style or marketing appeals to children, regulators may treat the product as child-directed whatever your terms say. We look at this during discovery and design accounts to support the rules that apply. Your own legal counsel confirms what your organization must do.

  • Should We Build a Custom LMS or Start From Moodle?

    If the learning experience itself is what makes you different, such as adaptive paths or a specific teaching method, build custom, because you would fight an off-the-shelf LMS constantly. If you mainly need standard course delivery, a configured Moodle or similar platform is faster and cheaper. The expensive mistake is heavily modifying an open-source LMS and losing its upgrade path.

  • Do You Support SCORM and xAPI?

    Yes. SCORM is still the common format for corporate training content, so it matters if customers bring existing course libraries. xAPI records detailed learning activity, including events outside a course, and feeds richer analytics. Which one you need depends on who supplies the content and who asks for the reports.

  • How Do We Show That the Platform Improves Learning?

    Measure from the first release: lesson completion, assessment scores over time, time on task and cohort retention. Compare against a baseline such as earlier cohorts or a control group. Schools and enterprise buyers increasingly ask for this evidence during procurement, so the analytics are part of how you sell, not an extra.

  • How Long Does It Take to Launch an E-Learning Platform?

    A first version for a pilot typically takes 8 to 12 weeks: discovery and design first, then build sprints with a demo of working software every two weeks. Platforms for school districts take longer because of rostering, accessibility reviews and data agreements. We plan launches around the academic calendar, not in the middle of term.
