IT solutions for education and training

Schools, universities, training providers and educational software publishers run systems that are heavily used by varied audiences: learners, teachers, administration, parents. Agencei builds and maintains the digital platforms of these institutions.

We work on learning management systems (LMS), student portals, mobile apps, enrolment and assessment tools, and on their integration with directories, SSO and existing student information systems. We also support training providers subject to traceability obligations.

The challenges are specific: term start and exams concentrate the load on a few days, the data often concerns minors, and internal IT teams are frequently small. We design solutions that are accessible, easy to operate and GDPR compliant.

Industry challenges

LMS and existing tool integration

Moodle, Canvas, Open edX or in-house LMS platforms must talk to the student information system, video conferencing, assessment tools and resource catalogues. The LTI, SCORM and xAPI standards make these exchanges easier when implemented properly.

Single sign-on and account management

Thousands of accounts created and closed every year, several profiles (students, teachers, staff), identity federations and SSO (SAML, OpenID Connect, Azure AD, Google Workspace): identity management is a permanent workstream.

Protection of learner data

GDPR applies with heightened vigilance when users are minors. Data minimisation, retention periods, hosting in Europe and individual rights must be built in from the design stage.

Load peaks at term start and exams

Enrolment, results publication, online exams: a handful of days concentrate most of the yearly traffic, and an outage at that moment is highly visible.

Accessibility and mobile use

Platforms must be usable by every learner, including those with disabilities, and often from a smartphone on an unreliable connection.

Tight budgets and small IT teams

Institutions have to run many tools with few technical resources, which calls for solutions that are simple to operate and well documented.

How we respond

Learning platform development

Portals, custom LMS or extensions to existing LMS platforms, mobile apps for learners, enrolment and tracking tools, designed together with teaching teams.

SSO and directory integration

Single sign-on (SAML, OpenID Connect), synchronisation with directories and automation of the account lifecycle.

GDPR compliance by design

Data mapping, European hosting, encryption, consent and retention management, documentation for the data protection officer.

Infrastructure sized for peaks

Scalable cloud hosting, load testing before term start and exams, monitoring and a recovery plan.

Built-in accessibility

Interfaces designed and tested against accessibility standards (RGAA, WCAG), mobile friendly and light on bandwidth.

Suitable maintenance and support

Maintenance contracts with a schedule aligned to the academic year, updates outside critical periods and responsive support for internal teams.

Typical projects

Building a student portal connected to the student information system

Mobile app for learners with notifications and offline mode
Rolling out SSO across all the institution's tools
Online enrolment and payment platform for training courses
Migrating a learning platform to the cloud before term start
Attendance tracking and sign-in tool for a training provider

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with Moodle or other LMS platforms?

Yes. We work on Moodle and other open source LMS platforms to customise them, integrate them with your tools or host them properly. When the need goes beyond a standard LMS, we build modules or a custom platform.

How do you handle data about minors?

We apply GDPR principles with particular care: minimal collection, hosting in Europe, encryption, restricted access and defined retention periods. We document these choices for your data protection officer.

Can you set up single sign-on?

Yes. We integrate SAML or OpenID Connect with your identity provider (Azure AD, Google Workspace, Keycloak, academic federation) and automate account creation and deactivation.

Can you work during the academic year?

Yes. We schedule changes and updates outside critical periods (term start, exams) and set up reinforced monitoring during those periods.

Do you build mobile apps for learners?

Yes. We build React Native apps for iOS and Android, with notifications, access to resources and offline operation for unreliable connections.
