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 through learner management systems 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 learner management systems to cater to the needs of the South African education system.
- The client then approached Zealous with a request for a web application that could be offered as an learner management systems to education institutes in South Africa.
- The learner management systems 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 personalized and customized LMS in South Africa 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.

-
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 learner management 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 in the learner management system.
- 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.

From day-1 Pranjal and his team have been very good at delivering quality work on time to budget. They are dynamic, if resources need to be shuffled around depending on what work needs to be done.
