Case Study: Helping AVM Services Move to a More Flexible LMS

Realnet helped AVM Services move from their previous LMS to a new WordPress-based learning management system, creating a flexible platform for delivering online training. The project included setting up 7 courses, more than 30 modules and lessons, over 1,400 assessment questions and learner certificates. Realnet now hosts the platform and provides ongoing LMS management, updates and support, giving AVM Services a stronger foundation for managing and developing their online training.

Challenge

AVM Services needed to move away from their previous LMS and onto a new platform that gave them more flexibility and control.

The previous system created a number of concerns, including:

Ongoing support costs
User licensing limitations
Restrictions around creating and managing learners
Dependence on the previous platform provider
How to manage the move to a new system without unnecessary disruption
Ensuring the new LMS could support courses, lessons, assessments and certificates

A key part of the challenge was creating a system AVM Services could manage themselves day to day, while still having expert technical support available from Realnet when needed. Learner migration was being handled by AVM Services internally, so the new system needed to provide a practical structure for them to work from as they moved learners across and began using the platform.

Solution

Realnet built AVM Services a new LMS platform using WordPress-based technology, working from information supplied by AVM Services to create the course structure, build out the learning content areas, and set up a large bank of assessment questions.

The focus was on giving AVM Services a practical, manageable system, rather than simply recreating the previous LMS, so they could continue learner migration and day-to-day administration with a stronger technical foundation in place.

Result



7 Courses Built

The platform includes 7 fully structured courses, with more than 30 modules and lessons built out beneath them.



1,400+ Assessment Questions

Over 1,400 assessment questions were configured within the platform, built from information supplied by AVM Services.



Certificates for Learners

Certificates are automatically issued to learners who successfully complete their training.



A More Flexible Platform

AVM Services now has a more flexible way to manage courses, learners and training content, hosted and supported by Realnet on an ongoing basis.

Detailed reporting and compliance features are not yet a major part of the platform, but AVM Services now has a practical base that can be improved and developed over time.
