Scalable E-Learning Platform with Offline Content Synchronization for Distributed Businesses

The client operates across multiple business units with local storage solutions and suffers from limited internet bandwidth between locations and cloud services. This hampers the ability to synchronize and deliver large multimedia training content effectively. Additionally, the client needs the LMS to accommodate complex organizational structures, recognize different business units, and ensure seamless user experience despite connectivity issues.

A large enterprise with multiple regional offices and a distributed workforce, requiring an advanced learning management system capable of supporting thousands of users across various locations, including areas with limited internet connectivity.

• Develop a comprehensive learning management system catering to both administrators and learners, supporting course creation, management, and tracking.
• Implement content synchronization mechanisms that allow local storage (NAS) devices to update and access course materials efficiently, minimizing dependency on continuous internet connectivity.
• Support large-scale user engagement, aiming to serve up to 40,000 users globally with high performance and reliability.
• Enable customization to reflect complex enterprise structures and recognize user affiliations with multiple business units.
• Enhance system performance and scalability to accommodate increasing users and content without degradation.

• Course catalog and builder supporting creation and reuse of diverse content formats (PDF, video, HTML5, etc.)
• Content uploader compliant with industry standards like SCORM and xAPI for multimedia interoperability
• Scheduled content synchronization from local NAS devices to the cloud platform, enabling offline access and updates
• User modules differentiated for administrators (manage courses, users, and analytics) and learners (browse courses, undertake learning, take quizzes, and view progress)
• Scheduling, calendar, and reminders to ensure learners stay on track with mandatory courses
• Assessment tools including quizzes and tests with progress tracking
• Custom organization recognition to show user affiliation and adapt user experience accordingly

• Content storage and synchronization with local NAS devices
• SCORM and xAPI compliant content repositories
• User authentication and enterprise directory services
• Notification and scheduling services

• Ability to support up to 40,000 concurrent users with minimal latency
• Reliable synchronization process for large media files over slow internet links
• System availability of 99.9% with failover and disaster recovery capabilities
• Secure data handling, user privacy compliance, and role-based access control
• Responsive interface accessible across devices and browsers

The implementation of this offline-capable, scalable learning platform is expected to significantly improve content accessibility and delivery efficiency in low-connectivity environments, supporting up to 40,000 global users. It will streamline onboarding, training, and ongoing development processes, leading to increased employee engagement, faster training completion times, and enhanced compliance across distributed organizational units.
