The hidden costs

Education moved online, Engagement didn't follow.

In a classroom, teachers can read the room, catch a glance, and stand by the student who is drifting. None of that survives the move to a screen.

When engagement breaks down...

Attendance

1 in 4

students are chronically absent, still elevated years after the shift online.

Three crises, one cause: disengagement. Doing nothing is the most expensive option you have.

Canvas knows who's falling behind. It just won't tell you.

Every missed login, late assignment, and skipped module is a warning sign. Canvas records all the signals, then scatters them across pages nobody has time to read. By the time a struggling student shows up in the gradebook, the window to help them has often already closed.

  • Invisible until it's too late

    Struggling students rarely speak up. They go quiet, one missed assignment at a time, until they're too far behind to catch up.

  • Thirty messages, one at a time

    Every check-in is written by hand, one student at a time. So most of the messages that could save a student never get sent.

  • Detective work, not teaching

    You get hours of digging through gradebooks and reports, paid for with nights and weekends instead of time with students.

  • Parents in the dark

    Parents want to be the coach in their kid's corner, but most find out they're struggling after it's too late.

Stop hunting for struggling students, Delphinium brings them to you.

Which class would YOU rather finish?

For online students, Canvas is school, and too often it looks too often looks like a gray wall of text.

Clear progress. Real wins.

When it's hard to see progress and what's next, students fall behind without realizing it. One missed assignment becomes three, grades start to slip, and by the time a student realizes they're behind, catching up feels out of reach.

With Delphinium, students can see at a glance what's done, what's in progress, and what comes next, so they own the journey. And parents get the same view! Turn parents from frustrated bystanders into the support system every student needs.

“If you ask kids, they don't like Canvas. It's basic… it needs something else to engage…”

“I was sitting on the couch watching Netflix and the thought popped into my head: I could be doing homework right now, and I did!”

Delphinium student survey response

Nobody quits when they're winning.

Every app on a student's phone is designed to capture their attention. Delphinium brings that same science of engagement into Canvas, so students build toward mastery instead of watching their grade slip away. Those apps took years to build. Adding Delphinium only takes minutes.

Delphinium automatically creates success signals and milestones from the course you've already built. And teachers can always customize every piece.

  • Progress they can feel – Color-coded trackers count every point earned
  • Always a next step – Students know what's done, what's due, and where to go
  • Encouraging success signals – Avatars, prize boxes, achievements, celebrations, and more
  • Learning WITH others – Anonymous and optional comparison and competition build community
  • Urgency students can see – Nudges keep "I'll do it later" from turning into "I forgot"

“Our students absolutely love the interactive elements where they earn points to enhance their avatars and unlock prize boxes.”

“We have had students redo a quiz that they did poorly on to earn more points so they could just earn googly eyes for their avatar!”

Proof

Years of research behind every design decision.

Long before Delphinium was a product, its founders were researchers, studying what actually drives students to engage, and publishing what they found. Every engagement principle in the platform is grounded in peer-reviewed research, built on decades of work by the field's leading scholars.

The Davis Connect study

31%

decrease in course failure rates.

Davis School District, Utah. 72 online classes and 6,000 students.

The courses didn't change. The teachers didn't change. Engagement did, and so did the outcomes.

More motivation

72%

of students say a Delphinium course is more or much more motivating than a traditional Canvas course.

In their words

“Fun.”

One of the most common words used when we ask how a Delphinium course is different.

Delphinium is built on three proven theories of student engagement

  • Self-regulated learning

    When students have the right information, they can set meaningful goals, monitor their progress, and reflect on what's working, adapting and driving their own learning.

    In Delphinium

    • Students see their progress, performance, and priorities at a glance
    • Progress updates create a feedback loop students use to adjust and improve
    • A clear view of the whole journey helps students set goals and take ownership

  • Behavioral economics (Nudge theory)

    When next steps are clear, timely, and easy to act on, students are more likely to follow through and build momentum toward success.

    In Delphinium

    • Clear visual cues make priorities and next steps easy to follow
    • Timely nudges prompt action before students fall behind
    • Celebrations and success signals reinforce momentum and persistence

  • Social presence

    When students feel seen, connected, and supported, they are more likely to engage, participate, and persist.

    In Delphinium

    • Personalized outreach helps students feel seen and valued
    • Students feel the class moving around them and know they're not alone
    • Teachers reach the right student at the right moment, before silence turns into withdrawal
