Courses that keep learning moving.

Kittiwake is a learning platform for schools and teachers: build courses, check understanding, give feedback, and keep families informed. It is in development, so everything below describes what it is designed to do.

How it works

Kittiwake in three steps. The screens on this page are samples with invented names, built to show how Kittiwake is designed to work.

  1. Build the course

    A course builder with quizzes, mastery gates and review, so students move on when they are ready.

  2. Learn anywhere

    A student app built for reliability: drafts saved offline, uploads that retry, and push notifications.

  3. Feedback that moves forward

    Assignments with feedback and revision, rubrics and a gradebook, certificates and badges. Families see progress.

What it is designed to do

Teaching, families and reliability, with privacy built in from the start.

Designed for teaching

  • A course builder with quizzes, mastery gates and review.
  • Assignments with feedback and revision.
  • Rubrics, a gradebook and peer review.
  • Certificates and badges.

Built for families and classes

  • Family and parent accounts with progress and notifications.
  • Announcements and messaging.
  • A student app built for reliability: offline drafts, uploads that retry, push notifications.

Designed to fit in, and to stay private

  • Interoperability goals: LTI 1.3, SCORM and xAPI, and rostering.
  • AI is opt-in and controlled by teachers.
  • Student data never trains AI without separate consent.

Who it’s for

Kittiwake is made by Nunatak in Juneau, Alaska, for organizations wherever they are.

  • Schools and teachers

    Courses, classes and assignments with feedback that students can act on.

  • Learning programs
