Education software development for schools, universities, training companies, corporate learning teams and edtech companies: learning management systems on Moodle, Canvas and Open edX, online course and tutoring platforms, assessment and proctoring, LTI 1.3, SCORM and xAPI integrations and AI tutors, accessible to WCAG 2.2 and built for FERPA, COPPA and GDPR, with dedicated edtech developers for your team or a platform delivered end to end.

What we build for education

  • Learning platforms

    Learning management systems on Moodle, Canvas, Open edX or a platform of your own, with courses, cohorts, progress tracking and certificates.

  • Online course and tutoring platforms

    Course marketplaces, live classes with video, tutor scheduling and payments, subscriptions and mobile apps for learners.

  • Assessment and exams

    Question banks, adaptive tests, automated marking, plagiarism checks and online proctoring, with results that hold up when they are challenged.

  • Education integrations

    LTI 1.3 tools, SCORM and xAPI content, single sign-on through the institution’s identity provider, and student information systems.

  • Corporate learning

    Onboarding and compliance training, skills tracking and learning experience platforms connected to the HR system.

  • AI tutors and teaching tools

    Tutors and study assistants that answer from the course material, feedback on written work for teachers to review, and tools that draft lessons and questions.

  • Accessible learning

    Platforms that meet WCAG 2.2 AA, tested with screen readers and keyboards, for the learners who depend on them and the public institutions that must comply.

Hire edtech developers

  • Dedicated edtech developers

    Edtech developers who join your team full time, work in your tools and process, and report to your lead. You interview them; we carry the Ukrainian contract, payroll, invoicing and leave.

  • Education software development projects

    A defined piece of education software development with a scope, a fixed plan and a named lead on our side who owns the result and reports progress in your channels.

  • Ongoing education software development

    Education software development as a continuing service: the same people every month, a backlog you prioritise, and hours you can see in our portal and on the invoice.

The dedicated team page explains how specialists join your team, and the outsourcing page covers project delivery, take-overs and how we charge.

    Learning platforms in .NET, Python, PHP or Node.js

  • Moodle and Open edX developers

    Plugins, themes and integrations

  • Front-end and mobile engineers

    Learner apps and interactive content

  • UI and UX designers

    Learning journeys and accessible interfaces

  • QA engineers

    Accessibility, load and exam-day testing

Platforms built for learners and teachers

Learners, teachers and administrators need very different things from the same platform, so each journey is designed and tested with the people who use it, and the platform is load-tested for exam days and the first week of term.

Student data is kept to what each feature needs and visible only to the right staff. Products for children follow COPPA and the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, and records in US schools follow FERPA, with parental consent and data deletion built in.

Questions about education software development

Can you extend Moodle or Canvas rather than build from scratch?

Yes. We build Moodle plugins and themes, LTI 1.3 tools for Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard and Brightspace, and integrations with the institution’s systems, so you keep the platform and add what it lacks.

How do you use AI in learning products?

Answers come from your course material with citations, teachers see and can override AI feedback, and learners’ work is not used to train models. Usage is logged per learner, so both cost and misuse are visible.

How quickly can edtech developers start?

When the right edtech developer is available, the start is gated only by your interview and the NDA and IP assignment. Otherwise we run a search, which typically produces candidate profiles within two to three weeks, and nobody starts until you have said yes.

How do we hire edtech developers through BigTree108?

Tell us the work, the seniority and the hours you need. We propose one or two people with their profiles, you interview them the way you would interview your own hire, and you sign one agreement with BIG TREE 108 LLC and receive one invoice a month.

Who owns the work they produce?

You do. Every specialist has a signed contract with BigTree108 that assigns all work product to the company, and our agreement with you assigns it onward. Code, designs and documents are delivered into your own repositories and tools, not kept where only we can change them.

Building a learning product?

Tell us the learners, the platform and the work. You get an answer within one business day: candidate profiles or a plan for the work.
