E-learning Platform

Plutustree played a key role in the development of a complete e-learning platform to deliver online courses for a client engaged in honing skills of a middle-level, semi-skilled workforce.

Challenge

A client involved in a multi-industry human resource consulting business required a platform to augment their consulting practice in areas of Performance Measurement and Management, Training & Development, (T&D) and Skills Enhancement deploying an online training platform for training staff and interns with a focus on management, entrepreneurship and other communication skills.

The client’s focus was on content development, delivery and marketing while a technology partner focus on the build, management and platform IT infrastructure.

Solution

Plutustree created a comprehensive e-learning platform with input from the client which included staff, student registration, shopping cart for course selection, ecommerce payment gateway including PayPal, Credit Card integration and an overall administration console.Client-side content managers could create course content and publish them. Course content could be in variety of formats: audio, video, PDF’s, presentations, schematics etc. A full-blown pre-post assessment module allowed creating and adding multiple choice questions to a question bank and randomization of test papers and achievement based advancement.

A comprehensive rules engine helped configure rules for completion of course, taking of assessments test re-runs, practice runs, grading and certificate delivery.
