Smart LMS HSE

Last year and COVID-19 situation made clear that on closer inspection most of the tools for online education have pretty tough limitations in university studies reality: either the students and professors is really struggle to find and test acceptably comfortable tools for studying and communication without noticeable limitation, which is, with other factors, decrease quality and involvement of students in learning process.

Together with HSE we decided to drastically change perception of remote education by designing Smart LMS (Learning Management System) - a personal account of a student, that gives access to education without bothering about place and consistency of quality of provided knowledge. This platform allows for control over processes on a desktop or mobile, to check upcoming events, practical tasks and grades of tasks of events, get access to courses and stable connection with professors and classmates.

Smart LMS is built on the course management system Moodle, which shares about 18% of the market in the US. We had a goal to create a new product that will take data from the Moodle system and transform it into a clear structure and pleasing appearance.

HSE is one of the biggest universities of Russian Federation and it provides courses in 175 languages for everyone around the globe. Right now the platform is used by more than 45 thousands of students. This allowed us to test every aspect of the platform and as a result we noticed dramatic improvement of involvement, satisfaction and academic performance of the students.
