Ignico: Education platform.

Built with React, Django, Django REST Framework and PostgreSQL to replace teaching spread across calls, attachments and hand-kept marks. Instructors run enrolment, grading and progress themselves, without asking an engineer.

The challenge.

  • Teaching was split across video calls, email attachments and manual grading.
  • The client wanted courses, lessons and assessments in one place learners could return to.
  • Progress and results had to be tracked per learner, not guessed at.
  • Content had to be easy to author and update, or the platform would go stale within a term.

Our approach.

  • Built the learner experience with React for lessons, media and assessments.
  • Backed it with Django and Django REST Framework to store courses, submissions and results.
  • Modelled enrolment, progress and grading so each learner has a clear path.
  • Gave instructors authoring and review tooling.
  • Made authoring and updating content a non-technical task.

The outcome.

  • Learners take courses, submit work and see results in one place.
  • Instructors author and grade without juggling email and spreadsheets.
  • Progress is tracked per learner instead of estimated.
  • Content stays current because updating it is a non-technical task.
As well as being exceptional technically, they consistently invest the time to understand the product and suggest how it can be enhanced and improved.
