What We Build For EdTech And Education

Custom LMS Development

Our custom LMS development covers multi-tenant architecture for B2B2C platforms, content authoring tools, course flows, learner dashboards, instructor portals, mobile companions, and integrations with your auth and analytics stack. We ship the platform end to end.

Moodle and LearnDash Customisation and Integration

Our Moodle development services cover custom plugin and module development, theme and engagement layer work, and integration with your CRM, SSO provider, video infrastructure, payment system, and analytics pipeline. The right call when the LMS core covers most of your needs and the differentiator is the surrounding workflow.

K-12 Interactive Platforms and Apps

Reading and language platforms, math practice apps, science simulation tools, gamified study apps. Our K-12 app development work is designed for the attention span and motivation patterns of K-12 learners. We build these as engineering partners to EdTech companies who own the curriculum and brand

Assessment Software with Behavioural and Learning-Transfer Analytics

Composite assessment systems that go beyond multiple choice. Behavioural objectives tied to assessment outcomes, learning transfer measurement, self-assessment instruments, scenario based assessment, and longitudinal analytics across cohorts. Our assessment software development practice has produced five to six such systems for EdTech and L&D buyers. This is one of our deepest eLearning capability lines.

Workflow and Action-Plan Layer on Top of Assessments

We build the workflow surface that takes assessment results, maps them to learning paths or behavioural interventions, schedules follow-up, and tracks completion. This sits on top of either your existing LMS or our custom build.

How We Work With You

πŸ‘ Problem discovery

Discovery ( Week 1)

30 to 60 minute call. We learn your product, learners, tech stack, and constraints. We agree on a scope envelope and engagement model.

πŸ‘ Image

Team formation (Week 1 to 2)

We propose engineers from our vetted bench. You interview and approve each one. The team plugs into your tools (GitHub, Linear, Slack, your QA stack).

πŸ‘ Image

Sprint delivery (Ongoing)

Two-week sprints with demos, written status, and code reviews you can audit. Your product team sets priorities. Our delivery lead handles standups, blockers, and engineering management.

πŸ‘ Image

Launch and steady-state (Per release)

Production readiness review, observability wiring, runbook handover. Post-launch the same team rolls into maintenance or builds the next thing.

Why Our Assessment Capability Is Different

Most teams that say they build eLearning software development solutions mean multiple choice and a results page. Real assessment work goes further. We have shipped five to six assessment systems that measure dimensions multiple-choice cannot reach.

πŸ‘ Image

Learning Transfer Measurement

Did the learning actually carry into the work? We build instruments that capture transfer at 30, 60, and 90 days post-course. Self-report plus behavioural signals plus performance data feed into a transfer score that you can report to buyers.

πŸ‘ Image

Behavioural Analysis

Time-on-task signals, engagement quality, persistence patterns, error recovery behaviour. This is where assessment becomes a learning-design tool, not just an exit exam.

πŸ‘ Image

Self-Assessment Instruments

Validated self-assessment frameworks that respect the academic literature on Dunning-Kruger and metacognition. We do not ship naive self-rating scales that everyone gives themselves a 5 on.

πŸ‘ Image

Action-Plan Integration

Assessment results that automatically translate into a learning path or behavioural intervention plan. The user sees not just a score but the next three actions tied to it.

Why EdTech Buyers Pick ScalaCode

πŸ‘ Image
  • India velocity with Western engineering discipline

    ISO 9001 certified. SOC 2 readiness on request. Documented engineering practices. Clutch and GoodFirms verified reviews. You get the cost arbitrage without the quality compromise.

  • Real assessment capability, not theatre

    We have shipped five to six composite assessment systems including the Learning Transfer Platform that measures behavioral change post-training. Ask any vendor to show you the same.

  • EdTech vertical fluency

    We understand the difference between K-12, corporate L&D, higher-ed adjacent, and continuing education buyers. We know why your learner data needs different handling than your CRM data. We know how Moodle plugin lifecycles work.

  • Time-zone overlap that works

    India and UK or Europe: 4 to 5 productive overlap hours per day. India and US East: 3 hours. India and US West: 90 minutes. We run asynchronous-first with daily written updates so the gap does not slow you down.

  • IP and learner-data ownership clear from day one

    You own the code. You own the data. IP assignment is in the master service agreement. We set access controls and audit trails appropriate to your platform’s compliance requirements.

Ways To Work With Us

Pick the model that matches how you engage us

Model Best for How billed
Dedicated team (most common) Multi-month roadmap with shifting priorities. You have product management capacity, we provide engineering velocity. Per engineer per month, $1,200 to $4,000 depending on seniority. Three-month minimum.
Fixed-scope project Defined deliverable like a Moodle plugin or an assessment-system v1. Lump sum with milestone payments. Best when scope is genuinely fixed (rare in eLearning).
Staff augmentation Adding named engineers to your existing team. Per engineer per hour, $13 to $25 by seniority.
Time and materials Discovery work, prototypes, exploratory builds where the spec is not yet stable. Hourly with a monthly cap.

ScalaCode vs The Alternatives

Honest comparison of the engineering partner choices EdTech CTOs face.

What you might compare Where ScalaCode fits When it might not
US-based eLearning agency If you want India delivery costs with Western-grade discipline and ISO 9001 certification, we beat the agency rate by 3x to 4x. If your procurement requires a US contracting entity and onshore data residency, we still work for you but contracting is more involved.
Freelance LMS developer We bring engineering management, QA, and continuity. Freelancers go cheaper but you absorb the management overhead. If you have one small Moodle plugin to build and you already have a project manager, a freelancer can be the right fit.
Other Indian engineering vendor We focus on the EdTech vertical and have shipped composite assessment systems. Generalist Indian vendors handle eLearning but rarely have the assessment depth. If your build is purely commodity LMS theming with no assessment depth, a generalist may quote lower.
Building in-house Faster time to v1 and lower fixed cost than hiring a team. Useful when you do not yet know what the right tech mix is. If you already have a 15+ engineer team with EdTech experience, in-house may suit better. Below that, partnership is usually cheaper.

What Clients Say

View All Testimonials

I looked around at several developers to compare costs, but they didn’t fit within my budget. Finally, I reached out to a company in India called ScalaCode. We set up several online meetings over a couple of weeks and came up with an app that did exactly what I wanted within my budget. I can confidently say that ScalaCode has been an excellent choice for me.

I have been working with ScalaCode for almost a year and half now. I have this project 4Sale, it’s a marketplace application. I contacted them for the project and we started around 2021. The company is very responsive and always take the extra mile to help you out. I highly recommend them; if you have a project, contact this company. They always respond on time even though there’s a time difference.

Manuel

CEO, 4Sale

The application was basically built from scratch, and was complicated, as the software was to be integrated with a certain Medical EHR software. As the CEO of SHG, I was very pleased with the services, expertise, and support we received from ScalaCode, from the beginning directly through the first LIVE implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you build custom LMS systems or only customise existing ones like Moodle?

    Both. We build custom LMS from scratch when your use case does not fit a template platform. We customise and integrate Moodle, LearnDash, and other commercial LMS systems when the platform core covers most of your needs and the differentiator is the surrounding workflow. We tell you honestly which path fits your scope before you commit.

  • Can you integrate our LMS with our other systems like SSO, CRM, and analytics?

    Yes. Auth and SSO integrations (Auth0, Cognito, SAML, OAuth, institutional identity providers), CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, custom), analytics pipelines (Mixpanel, BigQuery, Snowflake, Looker), video infrastructure (Mux, Cloudflare Stream), and payment systems are all standard work for us.

  • Do you build K-12 platforms and apps?

    Yes, for EdTech companies who own the curriculum and brand and need an engineering partner. We build the platform, apps, content delivery, and progress tracking. We do not sell directly to schools or districts as a vendor; the school is your customer, not ours.

  • How do you build assessment systems that measure learning transfer?

    Learning transfer measurement requires instruments for self-report, peer or manager feedback, behavioural signals, and longitudinal tracking. We design the assessment framework with you (often based on your subject-matter expertise plus our engineering pattern), build the data model, ship the instruments, and wire the analytics layer that turns the signals into a transfer score. We have shipped five to six such systems.

  • Who owns the code, the platform, and the learner data?

    You do. IP assignment is in the master service agreement. Learner data ownership and processing rules sit in a data processing addendum aligned to your platform’s compliance commitments. We set access controls and audit trails appropriate to your buyer’s requirements (corporate L&D, K-12, higher-ed adjacent).

  • What does an eLearning software development project typically cost?

    Moodle or LearnDash customisation: $15K to $150K depending on depth. Custom LMS single-tenant: $60K to $150K. Custom LMS multi-tenant B2B2C: $150K to $400K. K-12 interactive platform: $60K to $180K. Composite assessment system: $80K to $250K. Hourly rates $13 to $25, monthly dedicated team $1,200 to $4,000 per engineer.

  • How fast can a dedicated eLearning team start?

    Usually within days. We agree on the scope, you interview and approve the engineers we propose, and they join your tools. The team comes from our existing vetted bench so there is no hiring delay. Discovery to first shipped sprint typically runs 3 to 5 weeks for a clean start.

  • Are you COPPA, FERPA, and accessibility compliant?

    We build to your platform’s COPPA, FERPA, and accessibility (WCAG, Section 508) specification. Compliance certification is the EdTech platform’s responsibility under the contract; we deliver the technical implementation that supports the certification. We are ISO 9001 certified, which covers our engineering process.
