Background and Challenges
Our client operates multiple Learning management system (LMS) websites. Creating a new course every time proves to be a hassle as it requires a manual process of creating the course, adding lessons to that course, uploading SCORM files and finally attaching these files to the previously created lesson. This process has to be followed for each LMS individually consuming valuable time and also introducing human errors. As their educational offerings expand, maintaining consistency across platforms becomes increasingly challenging, and the resource demands of manual content deployment also grow.
Our Approach
We developed two simple and easy to use APIs to automate course management. The first, our Course Creation API, enables the creation of multiple courses and lessons in one operation, handling bulk content deployment and automating SCORM package integration with lessons. The second, our Course Enrichment API, focuses on adding new lessons to existing courses, allowing content updates without course restructuring. The two APIs were delivered using a custom wordpress plugin which can be added and activated for all the sites hence streamlining the process.
Results and Impact
The implementation delivered significant improvements to the client’s content management workflow, reducing course creation time from hours to minutes while eliminating data inconsistencies. This also streamlined content deployment across multiple platforms, ensuring structural uniformity and data integrity. The new system established a robust foundation for scalability, enabling the client to expand their educational offerings systematically while maintaining quality and consistency across their learning platforms.
