Creation of a learning platform

How to transition from a collection of scattered media (PDFs, videos, presentations, emails) to a e-learning platform structured, engaging, centralising your content, tracking your learners' progress and providing actionable data for your teaching and business teams?

This page presents a typical use case Managed by Evolurise: the creation of a customised digital campus/e-learning platform for a training organisation, school, corporate university or B2B player wishing to offer certified or non-certified training courses.

Context & educational objectives of the project

In this type of project, the starting point is often the same:

• rich content (presentations, videos, resources, quizzes, etc.)
• face-to-face or remote sessions already organised,
• but no central space to structure learning pathways, monitor learners and capitalise on their progress.

In terms of organisation, the requirements are generally as follows:

• Structure the training programme : catalogues, courses, levels, modules.
• Provide learners with a single space to follow their courses, download materials, submit assignments, and track their progress.
• Provide trainers with an interface for publish, correct, monitor and communicate with participants.
• Provide to management clear indicators : completion rate, engagement, results, certifications, etc.
• Integrate the platform with existing tools (CRM, ERP, intranet, HR tools, video conferencing, online payment if required).

In a word: transform a “craft-based” training organisation into a structured digital campus, without losing any of its educational value.

Business and educational challenges

Beyond the technical aspects, the challenges of this type of project are very concrete:

• Learner experience :
  A confusing user journey or outdated interface discourages users. The aim is to make learning fluid, clear and accessible on all devices (desktop, mobile, tablet).
• Educational guidance :
  Without detailed monitoring of results, it is difficult to improve content, identify bottlenecks or report to management/funders.
• Organisational effectiveness :
  Teaching teams often spend too much time on administrative tasks: manual mailings, reminders, document sharing, follow-ups by email or Excel.
• Promotion of training programmes :
  A well-designed platform reinforces the perception of professionalism, modernity and quality, which can tip the balance when choosing a training course.

Evolurise solution: a tailor-made digital campus

For this type of project, Evolurise designs a customised e-learning platform, generally built on proven open source bricks (WordPress + LMS, or Drupal + dedicated modules), enriched with specific developments and third-party integrations.

3.1. Learners

• Personal space (dashboard) with:
  • current and upcoming courses,
  • visual progression,
  • notifications of new resources,
  • downloadable attestations and certificates.
• Structured learning pathways:
  • modules, chapters, lessons,
  • quizzes, assessments, surveys,
  • downloadable resources (PDFs, videos, external links).
• Experience responsive and mobile-first for access from any device.

3.2. Trainers & teaching staff

• Content management interface (courses, modules, quizzes, assignments).
• Correction system, grading, feedback to learners.
• Tools for communication (internal messaging, announcements, targeted notifications).
• Access to dashboards : completion rate, results, engagement, dropouts.

3.3. Management & steering

• Consolidated view of programmes, cohorts, and sessions.
• Exports and reporting (CSV, dashboards) for administration and reporting.
• Possibility of linking the platform to:
  • a CRM (prospect/registration management),
  • a billing/payment tool (e-commerce or direct payments),
  • an HR intranet (internal training, onboarding).

Key features of a modern learning platform

Depending on the scope, a learning platform designed by Evolurise can integrate:

• Catalogue management : training courses, programmes, certifications, filters by subject, level, audience, duration.
• Registration management :
  • free registration, by invitation or via a validation stage,
  • possible integration with an e-commerce site (sale of training courses).
• Learner area :
  • tracking time spent,
  • progress through the modules,
  • history of quiz attempts,
  • certificate downloads.
• Assessments & quizzes :
  • Multiple-choice questions, open-ended questions, assignments to be handed in,
  • manual or semi-automated correction,
  • detailed feedback.
• Live & blended learning session :
  • video integration (Zoom, Teams, etc.),
  • pre- and post-session resources,
  • attendance management.
• Automation & AI (optional depending on maturity):
  • automatic reminders to inactive learners,
  • generation of course summaries,
  • Virtual assistants answering frequently asked questions based on course content.

Technical architecture & possible integrations

Each project is tailored to the context, but there are a few constants:

• CMS base :
  • WordPress with a professional LMS (LearnDash, LifterLMS, or other), or
  • Drupal for more complex requirements (multi-role, extranet, intranet, strong interoperability).
• User management & SSO :
  • centralised accounts,
  • possibly SSO (login via intranet, company directory, etc.).
• CRM/ERP integration :
  • synchronisation of registrations,
  • tracking customers/learners in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or other systems,
  • management of rights based on status (prospect, customer, employee, partner).
• Hosting & managed services (via our dedicated service):
  • development/pre-production/production environments,
  • monitoring, security, backups,
  • ability to handle peak loads (registration periods, cohort launches).

Evolurise brings its dual expertise in CMS + DevOps and its culture open source to design robust, scalable and controlled architectures.

Example of a project scenario (from scoping to launch)

Phase 1 – Framing & pedagogical/technical design

• Workshops with the teaching team and stakeholders.
• Definition of typical pathways: training courses, duration, terms and conditions, assessments.
• Design of the tree structure, user profiles, roles and permissions.
• Choice of technical architecture (CMS, LMS, integrations).

Phase 2 – UX, UI & prototyping

• Key screen mock-ups:
  • learner reception,
  • training sheet,
  • course screen,
  • quiz,
  • back-office trainer.
• Figma prototyping to validate user journeys prior to development.
• Adjustments, taking into account educational and operational constraints.

Phase 3 – Development & Integrations

• Implementation of CMS + LMS, advanced configuration.
• Development of specific features (registrations, workflows, exports, integrations).
• Integration of pilot content (a few complete courses for testing purposes).

Phase 4 – Acceptance testing, pilots & optimisation

• Comprehensive functional testing on different profiles (learner, trainer, admin).
• Launch of a pilot cohort (small group) to gather feedback.
• UX adjustments, performance, ergonomics, content.

Phase 5 – Launch & support

• Opening up to a wider scale (by promotion, audience, country, etc.).
• Training of internal teams (teaching, support, administration).
• Implementation of a maintenance and IT outsourcing contract to guarantee service continuity.
