Overview
A large university network with 15 campuses across multiple states was using an outdated learning management system that couldn't scale to meet modern educational demands. Faculty struggled with limited functionality, students complained about poor user experience, and IT teams faced mounting technical debt.
Koyal Tech Solutions was engaged to implement a modern, cloud-based LMS that would transform the teaching and learning experience while integrating seamlessly with existing university systems.
The Challenge
- Legacy System Limitations
The existing LMS was 12 years old, couldn't support video content effectively, and crashed during peak usage periods like finals week.
- Multi-Campus Coordination
Each campus had evolved different processes and customizations, requiring careful change management across diverse stakeholders.
- Integration Requirements
The new LMS needed to integrate with student information systems, library resources, plagiarism detection, and video conferencing tools.
- Accessibility Compliance
Platform needed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and support students with diverse learning needs and disabilities.
