Education Platform challenges we solve
Common education platform issues in apps built with Codex or Claude Code.
Student data privacy
Education platforms often handle data protected by FERPA, COPPA (if serving minors), or GDPR. Student names, grades, progress data, and behavioral analytics all have privacy requirements. AI tools store this data with no awareness of these regulations.
Content access control and paywalls
Paid courses need reliable access gating — enrolled students see course content, everyone else sees the sales page. AI tools generate client-side checks that can be bypassed by inspecting the page source. Server-side content gating with proper enrollment verification is essential.
Progress tracking accuracy
Students expect their progress to be saved reliably — completed lessons, quiz scores, certificates earned. Losing a student's progress is the fastest way to lose their trust. AI-generated progress tracking often uses local storage or has race conditions that lose data.
Video content delivery
Course videos need to stream smoothly at various connection speeds, support seeking, and be protected from unauthorized downloading. AI tools embed videos directly without adaptive bitrate streaming, CDN delivery, or content protection.
Assessment integrity
Quizzes and exams need to validate answers server-side, prevent answer inspection through browser dev tools, handle time limits reliably, and store results immutably. AI-generated quizzes often check answers client-side, making them trivially cheatable.
Certificate and credential issuance
Course completions often generate certificates that need unique verification URLs, PDF generation, and potentially integration with credential platforms. AI tools build the course but not the credential pipeline that gives completions real value.
