Educational Technology Adviser

About us

Androgogic is a leading provider of Educational Technology infrastructure and services, recently moving from the role of partner into Totara's direct business in the APAC region. We have won most of the Totara APAC Top Performer awards over the last decade.

We work with our clients as partners to design and implement flexible, robust and reliable Learning Management Systems (LMSs) and other educational technology applications such as xAPI, LXPs, TXPs, LCMSs, virtual classrooms, social learning and ePortfolio systems. We also work on our own internal management systems and automation scripting frameworks.

Androgogic fosters a distributed, collegial team where accomplished and committed individuals work in a flat structure, contributing their specialist skills and knowledge to create quality outcomes for our client-partners.

Our people enjoy the flexibility of working remotely while developing close interpersonal relationships. We employ people who deeply care about the happiness and well being of our client-partners, the systems they support and each other, and who are intrinsically motivated to do things well because of the challenge and the satisfaction. We are a stable team with low turnover. Fairness and diversity are Androgogic core values.
