Digital Solutions for Education: Learning Management and Student Experience
Educational institutions are embracing low-code platforms to build digital solutions that enhance learning outcomes and streamline administrative operations. In 2026, 45% of higher education institutions and 35% of K-12 school districts are using low-code platforms to supplement or replace traditional educational technology, according to a June 2026 EDUCAUSE survey. Low-code enables institutions to build tailored solutions that fit their specific pedagogical approaches and administrative processes — something off-the-shelf educational software rarely accomplishes.
Key Education Applications
- Learning management extensions: Custom learning modules, assignment submission workflows, peer review systems, and competency tracking that extend beyond standard LMS capabilities
- Student success and advising: Early alert systems for at-risk students, degree progress tracking, appointment scheduling for academic advising, and intervention workflow management
- Administrative automation: Admissions workflow management, financial aid processing, student records management, and faculty workload tracking
- Campus operations: Facilities maintenance requests, room reservation systems, event management, and campus safety incident reporting
- Research administration: Grant application workflows, research compliance tracking, IRB submission management, and research output tracking
