Education and research

Education software developmentfor education and research teams

Our education work is a research tool for a university team: 40 to 70 questionnaires per study, the team's own scoring algorithm, and charts ready for analysis. Here is how it was built.

The project behind this page

Our published work in education is research software, not a learning platform. Through a Belgian contractor, we built a Node.js tool for a university research team. If you need a learning management system or a student portal, we have none in our portfolio to show you, though the building blocks overlap with other systems we have shipped.

What the research team needed

A study needed participants to complete a large set of questionnaires, between 40 and 70 depending on the study. The team then needed the responses scored by their own algorithm and shown as charts they could use directly in their analysis.

That is a harder brief than it sounds. Answering 40 or more questionnaires is a long task for a participant, and the scoring method belonged to the researchers, so it had to be implemented exactly as they defined it, with no shortcuts.

What we built

Everything here runs on Node.js and JavaScript:

What carries over to other education work

Turning an academic's method into software means reading the method closely and testing against worked examples from the people who own it. The same habit applies to grading rules, admissions scoring or assessment logic at any institution: the rules come from staff, and the software has to reproduce them and show its working.

Export matters as much as the screens. Researchers and registrars live in their own tools, so data that can't leave the system cleanly ends up being retyped. We treat the export format as a requirement from the start.

If your project involves minors' data, assessment records or research subjects, tell us early. Those requirements affect access control and retention from the first design, and we would ask your data protection lead to review them.

The education case study

Questions from education teams

Have you built a learning management system?

We have none in our published portfolio. Our education case study is a research questionnaire and analysis tool. For an LMS, weigh that, and consider whether an existing platform with integrations would serve you better than a custom build.

Can you implement our own scoring or grading method?

Yes, that is what the research tool does. We would ask for the method and worked examples, then test the implementation against those examples with your team before anyone relies on the results.

Have a method that needs to become software?

Send us the method, or a description of who uses the system and what they need from it. We will tell you how we would approach it.
