For Higher-Ed Programs
Online programs
that pass faculty governance,
accreditation review, and accessibility audit.
On the calendar your committee actually keeps.
Senior craft for Bryant, Salve Regina, Babson, and the institutions next on your bench.
Course Kitchen builds graduate programs, course templates, and individual modules for universities. The work ships inside one semester, meets WCAG 2.2 AA from day one, and is documented for AACSB, regional, and programmatic accreditors.
Five things we ship for higher-ed clients.
Online graduate programs
Multi-course master’s programs designed with faculty SMEs and built in Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Moodle, or Open edX.
Course-template systems
Reusable LMS themes for 7-, 8-, and 15-week formats — adopted institution-wide and published to Canvas Commons.
Single courses & modules
Faculty-paired builds for one course at a time, with Storyline and Rise 360 integrations.
Accessibility remediation
WCAG 2.2 AA audits with documented VPATs (Section 508 and EN 301 549 mappings on request).
Program rescues
Inherited an OPM exit, a stalled vendor build, or a course that has to relaunch by add/drop? We triage, stabilize, and ship.
Work that deserves to bear your institution’s name.

- You don’t have faculty SMEs available for the build.
