Education App Development
Our education app development team builds learning apps for Canadian schools, colleges, training providers and e-learning startups. Learners drop off quickly, so we design for short sessions, clear progress and content that still works on a bus with poor signal.
Apps we build for education
- Course delivery apps with lessons, video and downloadable materials
- Live tutoring and virtual classroom apps with scheduling and video
- School to parent communication apps for attendance, notices and permission forms
- Exam preparation apps with question banks, timed practice and analytics
- Workplace training apps with modules, assessments and certificates
- Language and skills practice apps with spaced repetition and streaks
Key features
- Offline lesson download so learning continues without a connection
- Progress tracking, streaks and reminders that bring learners back
- Quizzes and assessments with instant feedback and scoring rules
- Video playback that resumes where the learner stopped, on any device
- Single sign-on with the school or college identity system
- Instructor dashboards showing cohort progress, submissions and at-risk learners
Compliance and considerations
Accessibility is the first requirement in education. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA, which is the standard behind Ontario's AODA obligations and the expectation of most Canadian public institutions: proper contrast, screen reader labels, keyboard and switch access, captions on video and text that scales. Where learners are minors, extra care applies to what data you collect, how consent is obtained from a parent or guardian, and what the app may show or share, and Apple and Google apply additional review rules to apps aimed at children. Public sector clients often add data residency and records retention requirements, which we design for from the start.
Why education companies choose us
- Accessibility is built and tested during development, not retrofitted after a complaint
- We design for short sessions and real completion rates rather than screen time alone
- Experience connecting to learning management systems and school identity providers
- Video and offline content handled properly, including bandwidth and storage limits
- Fixed-scope pricing that fits budget cycles and procurement approvals
- Instructor and admin tools scoped alongside the learner app so nothing is left manual

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We integrate with learning management systems through their APIs or standards such as LTI, so courses, enrolments and grades stay in the system your institution already runs and the app becomes the mobile front end.
We build to WCAG 2.1 AA: contrast, scalable text, screen reader labels, focus order, captions and controls large enough to hit reliably. We test with VoiceOver and TalkBack during development and include an accessibility pass before launch.
Most projects run $50,000 to $199,000. A course delivery app with video and quizzes sits at the lower end, while live classrooms, marking workflows and institution integrations sit higher.
A learner app MVP with courses, video and quizzes usually launches in 8 to 12 weeks. A platform with live sessions, instructor tools and LMS integration takes 4 to 7 months.
Yes. We can let learners download lessons, video and question sets for offline use, then sync progress and answers when the device reconnects. Offline scope is agreed early because it affects how the data model is designed.
