Education Industry Challenges We Solve

📚

LMS Scalability & Reliability

Semester-start traffic spikes crash under-provisioned LMS platforms, disrupting exams and assignment submissions. We build auto-scaling, cloud-native LMS architectures on AWS or Azure that handle 50,000 concurrent users without degradation.

Accessibility Compliance (WCAG)

Australian public-sector and tertiary institutions have legal obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act and WCAG 2.2. We conduct full WCAG 2.2 audits and build AA-conformant interfaces with screen-reader compatibility and keyboard navigation throughout.

📋

RTO Compliance & ASQA Audits

Registered Training Organisations face ASQA audits that can result in registration cancellation. We build RTO management systems with AQF-aligned unit mapping, competency-recording, and student-record-keeping that satisfy ASQA's Standards for RTOs.

🌏

International Student Management

ESOS Act obligations for CRICOS-registered providers require CoE tracking, attendance monitoring, visa-condition compliance, and PRISMS reporting. We build ESOS-compliant international-student management systems that automate these obligations.

🔗

SIS & Finance System Integration

Disconnected student information systems, LMS platforms, and finance systems create data silos and manual work. We build integration middleware connecting Civica, Technology One, Ellucian Banner, and Canvas/Moodle in a unified student-data layer.

🤖

Personalised Learning at Scale

One-size-fits-all online courses have poor completion rates. We build adaptive learning engines with AI-powered content sequencing, mastery-based progression, and learner analytics dashboards that improve completion rates by 30–50%.

Learning Technology Built for Australian Education

OpenMalo Technologies has delivered more than 30 edtech and education software projects for Australian schools, universities, TAFEs, RTOs, and corporate training providers. Our Melbourne and Sydney teams combine instructional design awareness with engineering depth — producing platforms that not only meet compliance obligations but genuinely improve learning outcomes.

We have direct experience with Moodle and Canvas LMS customisation, SCORM authoring tool integration (Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate), xAPI Learning Record Store (LRS) architecture, AVETMISS reporting for NCVER, and PRISMS integration for international-student compliance. Whether you're building an edtech startup MVP or modernising a university's student portal, we bring the specialist knowledge to do it right.

How We Deliver Education Software

01

Learning & Compliance Discovery

We workshop with your academic, IT, and compliance teams to map learning objectives, regulatory obligations (ASQA, ESOS, WCAG), and technical integration requirements — producing a compliance matrix before architecture begins.

02

Platform Architecture & Accessibility

We design scalable, cloud-native LMS or student-portal architectures with WCAG 2.2 AA built into the component library from the outset — avoiding the expensive accessibility retrofits that plague legacy education platforms.

03

Agile Build with Educator UAT

Two-week sprints with teacher, student, and admin user-acceptance testing cycles. SCORM and xAPI compliance is validated with published conformance test suites throughout development — not at the end.

04

Go-Live, Training & Accreditation Support

Phased rollout with staff training, student onboarding guides, and ASQA/TEQSA-ready documentation. We provide 24/7 support during exam periods and semester-start peaks, with SLAs matched to your academic calendar.
