Why Education Needs a Living Room Strategy

Online learning has exploded, but most platforms still focus on web and mobile delivery. However, the living room—long a space for entertainment—is fast becoming a classroom. With Roku’s market penetration in the US and global households, it’s an untapped channel for educators, EdTech companies, and content publishers.

Whether you’re an online university, a language learning app, or a professional development provider, roku app development opens up powerful new ways to engage learners.

Benefits of Educational Roku Apps

1. Immersive Learning at Scale
With larger screens and distraction-free environments, Roku apps foster deep focus—perfect for long-form content like lectures, documentaries, and step-by-step tutorials.

2. Accessibility for Families
Roku apps can be used by multiple family members. Kids can stream science shows, while parents pursue skill development, all in a shared, seamless UX.

3. Seamless Content Syndication
Educational institutions can sync video repositories from LMSs (like Moodle or Blackboard) with Roku’s content interface, ensuring a unified experience across devices.

Use Case: A Coding Academy’s Leap to the TV Screen

A coding bootcamp sought new delivery models to combat screen fatigue from desktop learning. Oxagile developed a Roku app that:

• Let users watch coding walkthroughs and whiteboard sessions on TV
• Synced with mobile devices for real-time code exercises
• Offered in-app purchase of new course modules
• Integrated with YouTube API and private Vimeo libraries

The results? A 31% increase in course completion rates and a 2x rise in family enrollments.

Rethinking OTT: Beyond Entertainment

While SVOD and AVOD dominate the Roku ecosystem, there’s a growing shift toward transactional learning experiences. Instead of ads or passive content, Roku apps can offer:

• Micro-certifications
• Subscription-based masterclasses
• Community features like live Q&A sessions and study groups

Roku becomes not just a platform, but a learning environment.
