An extensive learning management system created to transform conventional learning and teaching into great interaction between institutions, educators, parents and learners.

About the Project
Overview:
- Project team: 15 people
- Delivery date: active development 6 months (MVP)
- Time spent: the project is in progress
Challenge
BeED is a unique product developed by the Bamboo Agile team from scratch. Before starting work on the project, we had to do lots of research to better understand modern educators’ specific needs and to refine the vision of the product. Our goal was to create a powerful SaaS platform embracing curriculum builder, content builder, features for managing learning process and for allowing users to work in collaboration. An important requirement was that the final product should be integrated with BeED Journeys solution on lessons’ creation and the support of outdoor lessons.
