Fynydd was asked to build a hybrid iOS, Android, and web-based learning app platform for enrolled and public students at Bossier Parish Community College (BPCC) in Bossier City, Louisiana. This was a full-stack platform that included a data tier, API service with management interface, client apps (App Store, Google Play Store), and responsive website.

The goal of the project was to research the efficacy of gamification strategies with regard to testing up and testing out of courses prior to enrollment. Secondarily it provided a great way for students to study and hone their knowledge during each semester.

The platform provided various curriculum through video courses, which each had check your knowledge quizzing as students progressed. Students could earn badges as they advanced through their learning journey and also challenge each other to quiz games for additional badges and bragging rights via a leader board.

• Hosted on Amazon EC2
• Multilingual using i18n
• Integration of Wiris MathType for complex math equations
