Education Software Development

We design and build custom education technology — learning management systems, virtual classrooms, course marketplaces, assessments, and mobile learning apps — for schools, universities, e-learning platforms, and corporate training teams.

Software built for education

Great learning software has to keep students engaged, hold up under exam-day traffic, and protect sensitive student data. Sigi Technologies builds education platforms that deliver content reliably across web and mobile while meeting privacy requirements.

We work with schools and universities modernizing institutional systems, e-learning startups launching course platforms, and enterprises building internal training — spanning LMS, virtual classrooms, assessments, school management, and corporate learning.

What we build for Education

Learning Management Systems

End-to-end LMS platforms with course and content management, enrollment, progress tracking, automated grading, and certificate issuance — the ground we covered on Alpha Academy.

  • Courses modeled as scheduled cohorts with intake dates and modules

  • Weekly content release, quizzes and progress tracking per learner

  • Automatic certificate generation stored against each record

  • Student, instructor and admin roles on one codebase

Online Course Marketplaces

Marketplace platforms with instructor dashboards, video hosting and streaming, payments and revenue sharing, ratings, and engagement analytics.

  • Instructor dashboards for course, module and content management

  • Payments and checkout via Paynow or Stripe

  • Ratings, reviews and enrollment counts per course

  • Engagement and revenue analytics for operators

Virtual Classrooms & Live Learning

Real-time learning environments with video conferencing, live class scheduling, recordings, and attendance — built on the Zoom integration we shipped for Alpha Academy.

  • Zoom API integration that creates each meeting and publishes join links

  • One-click access to the live class from inside the course

  • Session recordings for anyone who missed the class

  • Real-time scheduling with attendance tracking per session

School Management Software

Student information systems covering admissions, attendance, grading, fee management, timetabling, and parent-teacher communication portals.

  • Digital student enrollment with bulk Excel import for whole schools

  • Attendance, grading and eligibility tracked against each record

  • Fee, budget and wallet management with real-time tracking

  • Role-scoped access for staff, regional officers and administrators

Corporate Training & LXP

Learning experience platforms with personalized paths, skills-gap tracking, compliance training, microlearning, and HR system integration.

  • Personalized learning paths and microlearning modules

  • Skills-gap tracking and compliance-training records

  • Certificate issuance and completion reporting

  • Integration with HR and identity systems

Assessment & Exam Platforms

Online testing systems with question banks, secure proctoring, automated grading, and analytics for question performance and test validity.

  • Question banks with per-module quizzes and exams

  • Server-side validation and secure, auditable submissions

  • Automated grading with per-student results

  • Analytics on question performance and test validity

How we build education software

  1. Discovery & learning-workflow mapping

    We map how teaching, enrollment and payments actually work today — cohorts, terms, roles and the tools already in use — and turn that into a scoped roadmap, keeping every decision understandable for non-technical staff.

  2. UX/UI design in Figma

    Every role — student, instructor, administrator, parent or officer — gets its screens designed and reviewed in Figma before engineering starts.

  3. Architecture & build

    We build the shared data model and services first — with role-based access and server-side validation from the start — then the web and mobile surfaces on top, so every screen reads one source of truth.

  4. QA & access-control testing

    The main learning, payment and reporting flows are covered by end-to-end tests, and role and permission boundaries get their own test layer so student records never leak across roles.

  5. Launch & support

    We handle cloud deployment with CI/CD and, for mobile, store submission — then stay on for iteration, monitoring and new features, refining integrations until your own team can run the platform.

Systems and tools we integrate

We build against the video, payment and data systems an education provider already runs — as documented, API-first integrations. Zoom and Paynow are live in our Alpha Academy build; Stripe is a general payment option.

Tell us how your education operation runs today and we’ll map the platform, stack and timeline to build it.

Standards and compliance we build to

On the Government of Jamaica school-meals program we handled children’s personal data to the law that actually governs it, with role-scoped access and encryption as the concrete measures behind that.

Data protection

Jamaica Data Protection Act 2020Encryption in transit (TLS)

Access control

What clients say

They explained things clearly and were always willing to adjust until everything worked perfectly — including the Zoom classes and the Paynow integration.

Education software: questions we get asked

Learning management systems, virtual classrooms and live learning, course marketplaces, school and student information systems, corporate training platforms, and assessment and exam systems — across web, iOS and Android.

Yes. On Alpha Academy we integrated the Zoom API so each scheduled class gets its meeting created and join link published automatically, and Paynow Zimbabwe for card, mobile money and bank payments that enroll the student on confirmation. We can also use Stripe as a general payment option.

Yes. For the Government of Jamaica National Student School Meal Program we built a React and Node.js platform on AWS where school staff, regional officers and Ministry administrators each see only their own scope, with server-side validation and a full audit trail behind every figure.

With role-scoped access enforced on the server using OAuth2 and short-lived JWT tokens, encryption in transit over TLS and at rest, and an audit trail on sensitive actions. On the Jamaica program, handling of children’s personal data was designed with reference to Jamaica’s Data Protection Act, 2020.

Yes — that is a design goal, not an afterthought. On Alpha Academy the client was explicit that he was not a technical buyer, so we refined the Zoom and Paynow flows until the school’s own staff could administer the platform day to day.

Both. We build end to end (as with Alpha Academy and the Government of Jamaica school-meals program), embed engineers in your team, or provide a dedicated cross-functional team.
