Education Technology Solutions That Deliver

Make Your Work Life Easier

Day in and day out, that’s what service means to us

Easier means augmenting your staff with our team when needed or letting us manage your projects, keeping them on time and on budget. Easier is course building or migrating that avoids all the hidden EdTech monsters ready and able to sabotage productivity and timelines. 

Easier is deployment that is efficient and not stressful and easier is quality assurance that lets you sleep like a baby. 

Easier is seeing all the monsters ahead and making them run!

MEET THE MONSTERS

AWFUL ERRORS ERNIE
Nobody likes when Ernie shows up. This tiny monster distracts students in a big way, hampering the institution's overall credibility and student satisfaction. 

For many years LearnNorth has successfully employed two-factor quality assurance on all its projects to keep Awful Errors Ernie outside our clients digital classrooms.

DISASTER DEPLOYMENT DEBBIE
Debbie never asks the right questions and doesn’t always understand the platforms like she says - sort of like building a foundation on sand, it often washes away.

Our more than two decades of experience lets us ask all the right questions, intentionally focus resources where they’re most needed and effectively prepare for your latest EdTech curriculum needs.

SHORTCUT CARL
Everyone knows Carl, we love him in a pinch but day in and day out he just leaves a nightmare trail of future fixes. All those corners cut deep over time, turning quick solutions into monster mistakes that take longer and cost more to address.

LearnNorth never sweeps problems under the rug. We’ve been cleaning up after Carl for a quarter century with a meticulous approach that balances efficiency with effectiveness - leaving all corners intact.

INEXPERIENCED IRWIN
Classic baby, Irwin makes everyone smile but who’s left to change that monster diaper? We see Irwin all the time. Sure, he doesn’t cost much at first, oh the beauty of youth - but pretty soon he’s got the whole LMS turned upside down and you’re searching for a nanny.

Nothing costs more than inexperience and we’ve got the experience to prove it. Sure, someone needs to raise Irwin right, but that someone isn’t you or your EdTech need. At LearnNorth, we are the experienced adults in the room.

OSCAR THE OVERSEAS OUTSOURCER
Oscar is a sneaky little fella - sure the letterhead says local but the work comes in the front door and goes right out the back, headed around the world to save a buck.

Founded in Canada by Canadians, LearnNorth can spot Oscar a mile (or 1.6 kilometers) away. Instead, we give clients like you a nearshore solution that ensures nothing gets lost in translation.


SALLY THE PRODUCTIVITY SLAYER
Sally is an agent of chaos, slashing savings and solutions with her smug sword. She knows best and isn’t up for proven methods or processes. The hero of her own story, we hear she isn’t much for listening.

We don’t hire Sally, ever. LearnNorth is always listening, collaborating with your team to optimize our approach and tackling your EdTech needs with a cautious calm. You’re the hero of our story and we’re always up for a sequel.

LAZY LICENSING LUCY
Making your amazing course curriculum available to other institutions on a variety of LMS solutions is supposed to be a big win - unless Lucy is on the job.

So many things need to go right and Lucy is lazy with all the little details that matter most. Lucy can’t be bothered to focus on proactive troubleshooting - she’s got cat videos to watch.

MARY THE MIGRATION MIGRAINE
Mary says she’s got all the moves but on the dancefloor of your course migration she does nothing but step on toes. Your head hurts when she loses or misuses data while her one-size-fits all approach to your complex course migration needs leave you sitting in the dark.

Over our 25 years we’ve seen every LMS solution rise (and fall), migrating client courses safely and efficiently every time. A custom approach coupled with our side-by-side quality assurance, thorough reviews and content and functionality verification leave your team headache-free every single semester.
