End-to-End Digital Learning, Assessment & Certification Platform

Business Challenge

Transforming a Learning Platform into an End-to-End Digital Learning Ecosystem.

ICSI required a unified digital experience that could connect learner registration with learning, assessment and certification.

Earlier, learner information was shared through Excel files for user creation. This created a manual dependency between registration and the learning platform.

The objective was to move towards a connected digital journey where learners could register, access courses, attend lectures, collaborate, take assessments and finally receive certification through one ecosystem.

TRANSFORMATION OPPORTUNITY

Connect registration with learning

Automate learner and user creation

Support multiple learning models

Enable assessments and competitive examinations

Create learner collaboration communities

Connect learning outcomes with certification

Transformation at a Glance

From Registration to Certification — One Connected Journey.

The integration of E-Form and TCS iON Digital Learning created a connected learner lifecycle where registration, learning, collaboration, assessment and certification work together.

Registration to Learning

Replacing Manual User Creation with an Automated Digital Flow.

One of the important transformations was connecting E-Form with TCS iON Digital Learning so that registration could become part of the learner onboarding journey.

Earlier, Excel data was shared for creating users in the learning platform. The integrated approach moved this activity towards an automated end-to-end process.
