Business Needs
Understanding your business needs, one solution at a time.
Manual Process
Lack of Digitization
Limited access and resources
Defining The Problem
We have an itch to do deep research about the problem.
- The client identified an opportunity to digitalize the education system in South Africa.
- Being a prominent figure in education, the client understood that a standard learning management system (LMS) based on merits and grades would not be suitable for the South African education system.
- Students in South Africa are evaluated not only on their grades or merit but also based on other specific criteria and outcomes that are unique to each course.
Customised LMS
Complete Digitalisation
Course Specific Assessments
Understanding The Need
Our versatile portfolio makes this easy for us.
- The client wanted a customized LMS to cater to the needs of the African education system.
- The client then approached Zealous with a request for a web application that could be offered as an LMS to education institutes in South Africa.
- The web application would allow institutes to integrate their courses, students to take and complete courses online, and assessors to evaluate student sessions.
What Zealous Proposed ?
Research. Understood. Proposed.
Customised LMS
We suggested a customised and personalised LMS for the South African Education Institutes with different modules for each type of system actors.
Verified Registrations
Since there would be many institutes and their representatives enrolling on the platform, we suggested client a Registration Process that would require authentic documents.
Role Definition
While the system allowed course customisations, the Education Institute must at least define 6 roles that are Training Provider, Facilitators, Learners, Assessors, Moderators and Data Capturer.

-
4
System Integrations

-
5
LMS Maintenance And Training
For smooth functioning and for seamless transitions, we provided training and maintenance services.
The fight was tough but so fun to crack!
The biggest challenge was to determine how the system would identify the criteria that assessors need to consider while assessing the sessions.
- Each course had different criteria aside from grades that needed to be assessed.
- Our team of expert developers suggested our clients to register all the possible criteria into the system.
- When the sessions are to be assigned to the assessor, the training providers can select the criteria that need to be considered by the assessor.
