Challenge
As the client aimed to expand its testing platform across multiple school districts, teachers and administrators struggled with cumbersome workflows, and students faced confusing logins. These issues created both technical headaches and business obstacles.
Technical challenges
Teachers and students struggled with multiple logins and fragmented workflows across different systems, including Clever, ClassLink, Canvas, Skyward, and Schoology. The initial process relied on printed credentials for students and manual Excel uploads for administrators, which was slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale. Transferring user data manually increased the risk of inconsistencies and delayed assessments.
Business challenges
The lack of standard integrations limited the client’s ability to expand into new districts. Without plug-and-play compatibility and RFP-compliant workflows, the client faced barriers in increasing adoption, closing district contracts, and tapping into the full Total Addressable Market (TAM) for K-12 assessment solutions.
Project scope
The project was divided into the following key stages:

How it works
Aristek’s team implemented the SSO and roster automation integrations across multiple LMS and SIS platforms. During rollout, Aristek’s engineers, BA, and PM acted as on-the-ground technical support for the client and its users.
Because each district has different infrastructure and capabilities, issues arose naturally during adoption. The team provided individual adaptation for each district, ensuring smooth integration despite these differences.
As a result of the project, the EdTech software solution now operates as follows:
Students log in to their LMS as usual and click a single button to access the client’s assessment platform, automatically authenticated through SSO.
Administrative data, including class rosters and user credentials, is synchronized automatically between LMS/SIS systems and the assessment platform via secure APIs. This eliminated manual Excel uploads and reduced the risk of inconsistencies.
The platform collects engagement and performance data, which can be used to monitor student progress, identify learning gaps, and inform curriculum decisions.
Administrators and content providers can generate reports, track participation, and analyze trends across districts, enabling data-driven operational and strategic decisions.
The system continuously monitors activity, ensuring accurate authentication, reliable data flow, and adaptive support for both students and administrators.
