Education Industry Product Development
for Software Vendors

Learning Management System Engineering Around the globe, vendors of educational technologies are striving to reduce the cost of development and maintenance while getting products to market faster. Often that means finding a partner who can offer not just economical resources, but the educational market expertise to move products to new technologies, both on-demand and on-premise. The Lionbridge Educational Practice is staffed by 700+ engineers, analysts, and instructional experts who offer a deep domain expertise in both technology and content development.

• K-12 through University-level systems: development & content engineering
• Learning Management Systems (LMS)  
• Product design, development, maintenance and enhancement 
• Rich graphic, Silverlight & ActionScript Flash programming 
• Template-driven (content separated from logic) courseware

A mix of on-site, on-shore, and off-shore resources under global project management ensure low cost, clear communications, and rapid delivery.
