Constructor University Bremen replaced a fragmented stack of Moodle, MS Teams and LPlus with a single Constructor Tech ecosystem.
In three years, the institution scaled from 1 online programme to 6, from 5 modules to 74, and from 14 online exams per term to 87 fully proctored degree assessments, all running on infrastructure shaped by its own faculty.
From a single online programme in 2022 to six today: three Bachelor's, three Master's, two minors.
Spring 2025 alone saw 35 modules actively delivered by faculty through Constructor Learn.
Fall 2023: 33 online exams. Fall 2025: 87. Average growth across online and on-campus assessments.
Average increase in proctored exam sessions per term since the August 2023 pilot launch.
Moodle handled course delivery, but fewer than 10 faculty members were actively using it for campus students.
MS Class Teams ran communication and virtual meetings, sitting outside the academic workflow entirely.
LPlus existed as a separate platform exclusively for digital exams, with its own logins, data and admin overhead.
Online proctoring was a pandemic-era workaround. Once campuses reopened, exams returned to physical rooms with faculty acting as proctors.
Just 14 online exams were delivered each term, and zero fully online programmes existed.
Every student journey crossed multiple systems with no unified workflow, no shared identity layer, and no consolidated data.
Leadership committed to launching online degree programmes, which demanded a real LMS with native online proctoring built in.
Stitching together point solutions was no longer viable at the scale Constructor University planned to operate.
Constructor University and Constructor Tech share the Constructor Group ecosystem, creating a natural alignment where the university could shape the roadmap rather than inherit one.
The goal: co-build the platform a research university actually needed.
In late 2022, the requirement was a partner that could move at the speed of academic ambition, one able to absorb feedback from learning designers in Bremen on a Tuesday and ship a refinement to faculty by the following month.
Three years on, that bet has compounded. Constructor Learn is now the central spine for every new student joining the university, every faculty member designing a module, every staff member running mandatory training, and every degree-bearing assessment delivered to the cohort. The platform is infrastructure, woven into the daily operations of the institution.
And the volumes it now carries each semester would have been unthinkable on the old stack.
Since the successful pilot in August 2023, Constructor University has run 10,862 cumulative proctored exam sessions. December 2025 alone accounted for 3,244 of them. Every single one is tied to a degree-bearing module where a proctoring failure would mean cancelling the exam, rescheduling proctors, and delaying academic progress for the cohort.
Growth clusters around exam periods, where the platform absorbs load that used to require physical rooms, faculty supervisors, and the operational coordination of campus-wide assessment days.
Every exam delivered is degree-bearing. There is no margin for failure.
Most EdTech vendors treat customer feedback as input to a roadmap that already exists. Constructor Tech treats it as the roadmap.
The clearest evidence sits inside Constructor Assess. CUB faculty asked for greater flexibility in how they design exam questions, particularly for open-ended, applied assessments. The request did not disappear into a backlog.
This was not a feature that appeared on a generic product roadmap. It came from real-world teaching needs, communicated to a team that was willing and able to act on them.
The result: the number of question types available in Assess doubled. Instructors gained materially more flexibility in how they design and deliver exams, and the precedent was set for every subsequent feature conversation.
When faculty know there is a direct line to the development team, they stop working around the platform's limitations and start telling the platform what to become next.
When a student is enrolled in a course in Learn, that enrollment data carries through to Assess and Proctor automatically. An instructor can build an exam, link it to a course, and enable proctoring without ever leaving the ecosystem. The student accesses everything through one interface.

Virtual classroom, native to the LMS. Constructor Groups, the virtual classroom collaboration tool designed specifically for knowledge sharing, is live in a small pilot inside an IBA finance and accounting module, with a 50-student cohort lined up for May. Early student feedback is already at 4 out of 5, before the integration with Learn is fully tightened.
An AI tutor that only references your course. Integrated with Learn, Knowledge Model auto-generates a course-specific AI tutor that draws exclusively from the module's own content, eliminating the hallucination risk that has kept generic LLMs out of higher ed assessment workflows.
Lab work, before the lab. Practice Science Labs are curriculum-aligned immersive science simulations; the product is rolling out to selected students to prepare them for hands-on experiments on campus, and to deliver practical science to online students who cannot physically reach a Bremen laboratory.
