The JSS group owns over 150 educational institutions across the world in the fields of Medical Education, Technical Education, and School Education. JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research focuses on Medical and Health-related studies, comprising JSS College of Pharmacy, JSS Medical College, and JSS Dental Colleges and Hospitals in different parts of the world.
Needs of the Institution
As one of the oldest not-for-profit educational institutions, and with necessary permissions from the Government of India – University Grants Commission (UGC), JSS AHER wanted to share the knowledge and quality resources created by the institution at an affordable cost to any student in India and other developing countries. The institution attempted to deliver content online via a live platform in 2017, but the learning outcomes did not meet expectations.
The Challenges
- The Excelsoft consulting team spent quality time understanding the institution’s needs with various stakeholders of the group. Excelsoft was able to propose a solution that not only met their expectations but also exceeded them in terms of technology and security.
- The solution proposed was based on the lightweight microlearning platform enablED, which was developed by our young, enthusiastic team at Excelsoft for the needs of millennials who prefer consuming byte-sized video content on the go.
