Digitizing Student Assessments in Remote Areas: LeapForWord’s Offline Mobile App
LeapForWord, an education-focused NGO, faced a major challenge conducting student assessments in rural and remote areas with limited or no internet access.
Volunteers relied on paper-based testing, which required manual data entry once they returned to the office.
This process was time-consuming, error-prone, and delayed reporting.
They needed a reliable digital solution that simplified data collection, reduced human error, and automatically synchronized results once an internet connection became available.
Our approach
We collaborated closely with LeapForWord to understand the needs of their volunteers and the practical challenges of rural operations.
Our team designed and developed a Flutter-based mobile application with an offline-first architecture, enabling volunteers to conduct student tests without internet access.
The app securely stored results on the device and automatically synced data to the central server once connectivity was restored.
We also integrated the app with the NGO’s back-office data API and SMS authentication service to ensure secure and seamless access for all users.
