About the Client
The client is a university operating in the higher education sector, delivering academic degree programs and professional training initiatives to a diverse learner base. The institution supports faculty members, students, program managers, coordinators, and administrators through structured academic delivery and continuing education programs.
Challenges They Faced
The university aimed to deploy a dedicated, enterprise-grade Learning Management System (LMS) that would unify academic and training functions within a secure, scalable, and user-friendly digital environment.
- Need for a Dedicated, Bilingual LMS Environment: The platform had to support both Arabic and English interfaces, ensuring accurate content rendering, right-to-left language compatibility, and seamless switching between languages.
- Fragmented Learning Processes: Academic planning, training events, assignments, assessments, reporting, and performance monitoring were handled through disjointed systems, limiting visibility and efficiency.
- Automation of Academic and Training Workflows: The institution required automation of core processes such as content management, academic administration, reporting, evaluations, and learner progress tracking.
- Security and Scalability Requirements: The LMS had to operate within a secure framework, integrate with existing university systems, and scale to accommodate multiple user groups and program expansions.
- Mobile and Remote Accessibility: Learners and faculty require convenient access across devices, including smartphones and tablets, without compromising functionality.
Solutions We Offered
Hurix designed and deployed a dual-LMS architecture tailored to the university’s operational model.
- Custom-Built Dual LMS Framework: Developed a multi-tenant LMS for training needs and a single-tenant LMS for academic delivery, both built on the Moodle open-source framework to ensure flexibility and scalability.
- Enterprise System Integrations: Integrated the LMS ecosystem with ADFS for single sign-on (SSO), university email systems, ERP platforms, library management systems, SMS gateways, and WhatsApp for streamlined communication.
- Enhanced Security Architecture: Implemented two-factor authentication (OTP-based) for both academic and training environments, ensuring secure access for all user roles.
- Hybrid Mobile Application Deployment: Delivered mobile applications for both LMS platforms, enabling seamless access across iOS and Android devices.
- Onsite Maintenance & Support: Provided structured onsite support for three years for the Training LMS and one year for the Academic LMS to ensure system stability, adoption, and continuous optimization.
Results We Delivered
