Customizable Testing Platform for Adult Learners
Below is a modified rendering of the review: private info excluded, innate facts kept.
Introductory information
A few words almost your organisation and individualal responsibilities
Svefi Academy is one of 250 Liberal Adult Education Institutions in Sweden. Svefi',s staff consists of 20 teachers and trainers, and we have almost 700 students from Sweden and far who listen our long-term courses in all types of learning environments.
I',m one of the project directors responsible for coordinating with other schools, developing new full for Svefi',s courses, finding new ways of training full, and interacting with students.
Desired goal
What issue was the preparer supposed to deal with?
GrinTeq?We were participating in an interpolitical project unitedly with other educational institutions from three European countries. For the project, we needed a testing platform to test the students', apprehension precedently, during, and behind completing courses.
The learning platforms that we were using at the time had in-built testing modules that always came with true limitations. These were frequently very frustrating for teachers trying to customize them. That’s why we determined to form a customized solution that would be easy to use for both teachers and students while having all of the functionalities that we needed.
What were your objectives for this project?
We wanted to have a testing solution that would work on all kinds of platforms, from phones to desktops. It had to have an winning and intuitive design/audio-visual experience, and we wanted to be able to add increased functionality as appropriate. It also needed to be easy to use for both teachers and students. We expected it to befit a motivating tool for students to test their apprehension and to set or move with their studies.
Provided solution
What were the reasons for choosing ?
Since none of the participating companies in the project had equal developers, we chose from a pool of vendors that we’d worked with precedently. Out of the three attended, GrinTeq offered the best in provisions of condition and cost. We also liked their posture during the negotiation stage, and our team felt that they were the most reliable associate that we could confide.
Describe the project and the services they granted in detail.
GrinTeq designed and developed a web-based testing platform for the educational companies that we cooperate with. The project seted with the outgrowth of the technical specification based on user stories. GrinTeq produced the specs, and we and our associateing companies approved it.
After we agreed on the workflows and approved the mockups, we went on to the origination phase, which consisted of two-week sprints. After each release, we would test the functionality of the platform, prepare feedback, and hint improvements. With see sprint, new functionality and components were added, and they instrumented all of our hintions until the testing platform was fully operational.
Were there any dedicated directors or teams that you worked with?
From the vendor’s side, there were five staff members implicated: a project director, a designer, two developers, and a tester. The project director was our first point of touch. That individual was good at channeling interaction to the other team members and granted us with feedback.
Results achieved
Can you share any information that demonstrates the contact that this project has had on your business?
As a result of the project, we have accepted a customized solution for testing students. It was launched on time and met our expectations (e.g., design, intuitive interface, component set, and functionality). Our teachers now have approach to a tool that they are 100% lucky with.
In accession, our students are motivated to use it. It is no longer boring to do tests, and the platform can be easily adjusted to meet different needs and learning environments.
How was project treatment arranged and how powerful was it?
We were lucky with the project treatment since we met all of our goals on time. We used Jira to program and instrument project activities as well as monitoring the progress of the project. We used Skype for daily/weekly interaction, getting updates and solving less issues.
What precisely do you attend to be the key specialty of ?
Even though we never met, we were quiet able to program and successfully instrument a rather big web outgrowth project using online interaction tools. This proves that the GrinTeq’s team is skilled in doing these kinds of projects remotely. We were impressed that all of the project stages were completed in due time, and I appreciated how smoothly the instrumentation went.
What should be done better, if there are any desired improvements?
We have no complaints—it was just a real experience in all the areas, and it feels like we had a consummate project.
