Teachie | Case Study by EMPRA

Mobile App Development

Teachie

Teachie is a CPD platform for teachers. It's a PWA (progressive web app) and works beautifully on a large screen too. The flagship content is 'AI confidence for every teacher', but there are other training courses too. Teachie works like Duolingo - bite sized learning, gamification and rewards. There are also quizzes and a resource library. - Gamification engine (XP, levels, streaks, achievements, badges) - Multi-pathway CPD architecture (six live pathways, 800 lessons) - Role-based access control (individual, school admin, super admin) - Institution/school management with self-service onboarding - Interactive content system (flip cards, accordions, step-by-step guides, scenario builders) - Certificate generation with CPD hours tracking - Server-side SEO with structured data (JSON-LD), dynamic sitemap, Open Graph tags - Accessibility (theme switching, dyslexia-friendly font, reduced motion, keyboard navigation) - PDF generation (server-side with pdfkit) - Responsive/mobile-first design - UK education regulatory alignment (DfE, Ofsted, KCSIE)

What was the main challenge in this project?

Building for scale. This is a start-up with potential to be global so, even though Teachie is launching from the UK, the infrastructure is built to accommodate a much bigger and more complex platform.

What was your solution or approach?

Working backwards to where Teachie wants to be ab building for that from day one.

What was the outcome or impact for the client?

They have a beautiful, scalable platform that fulfils a specific need in the market. A platform that's ready to grow when they are.
