The landscape

Built for learners, accountable to administrators.

Education technology lives at a crossroads: institutions are under pressure to improve outcomes and retention while operating budgets stay flat, and the systems they rely on were designed for a different era of teaching and learning. The result is a sprawl of SIS, LMS, assessment, content, and analytics tools that nobody can fully integrate.

We build for K-12 districts, higher-education institutions, corporate learning teams, and EdTech vendors selling into them. Whether it's an LMS / LXP, an SIS integration layer, a competency-based assessment platform, or a learning-analytics warehouse — every engagement is engineered for FERPA, COPPA (where K-12 is involved), state student-data-privacy laws, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility from day one.

Where it makes sense, we bring AI into the learning loop — adaptive pathways, tutor agents, instructor-facing summarization — under the responsible-AI framework most institutions are now adopting.

Challenges we hear

Where EdTech programs typically struggle

SIS / LMS fragmentation

Rostering, gradebook, attendance, and assessment data live in different systems with weak integration. Reporting becomes a quarterly project, not a daily tool.

Accessibility debt

Courses, content, and apps shipped without WCAG conformance. Remediation post-fact is expensive, and OCR complaints don't wait for the next release cycle.

Student-data privacy

FERPA + COPPA + state laws (SOPIPA, NY 2-d, etc.). Vendor risk management is now a procurement hurdle, not a checkbox.

Retention & outcomes

Early-warning systems flag at-risk students, but workflow to reach them is manual. Analytics without intervention closes no gaps.

Assessment integrity

Remote proctoring, plagiarism, and AI-generated submissions all complicate the integrity story — and the right answer is mostly assessment design, not surveillance.

Budget pressure

Per-seat SaaS sprawl is hard to defend at renewal time. Consolidating onto fewer platforms with deeper integrations usually beats more point tools.

How gmware helps

What we build for institutions and EdTech companies

LMS / LXP & Course Platforms

Custom learning platforms with LTI 1.3, SCORM, xAPI, Caliper. Or rich extensions on Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace.

SIS Integration

OneRoster 1.2, Clever, ClassLink, PowerSchool / Infinite Campus / Banner / Workday Student feeds. Rostering, grade pass-back, real-time updates.

Assessment & Analytics

Item banks, adaptive testing, competency frameworks (CASE), and learning-record stores. Plus the dashboards instructors and deans actually use.

Adaptive Learning & AI

Personalized pathways, tutor agents over course content (with citations), instructor-facing summarization. With responsible-AI guardrails specific to under-18 contexts.

Accessibility Engineering

WCAG 2.2 AA audits, VPATs / ACRs, captioning workflows, keyboard / AT compatibility, color and motion accommodations. As default behaviour, not exceptions.

Student Success Platforms

Early-warning models, advising workflows, intervention tracking, retention dashboards. Plus the integrations with SIS and CRM that make outreach actually happen.

FAQ

Common questions

For institutions, extend Canvas / Moodle / Brightspace — building a competing LMS isn't a strategic win. For EdTech vendors, the answer depends on whether your differentiator is the learning experience itself (build) or content / analytics layered on top (LTI / external tool). We've shipped both.

FERPA + COPPA controls baked in, a Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) NDPA-aligned agreement template, no third-party advertising, no behavioral targeting, and data minimization in the schema itself. Most state attorneys general now scrutinize this in procurement — better to design for the strictest one than retrofit later.

Yes, with structure. We design AI features that scaffold thinking rather than replace it, cite source material, route off-topic prompts to course resources, and surface every interaction in instructor-facing logs. The infrastructure (audit trails, consent flows, age-gating) is what makes it defensible — not the model choice.

Automated checks (axe, Pa11y, Lighthouse) as a floor, manual screen-reader testing (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver), keyboard-only walk-throughs, and content review for alt text / captions / heading structure. We then prioritize remediation by user impact and ship a VPAT / ACR your procurement team can use.
