EduLearn: A Learning Platform That Handles 15,000 Students at Once

EduLearn was outgrowing their off-the-shelf learning platform and needed one that could handle 15,000 students during exams. We built a custom platform that improved student satisfaction by 52%.

The Challenge

EduLearn served 12,000 students across 8 institutions, but their off-the-shelf learning platform was too rigid for their teaching model and crashed during exam periods when all students logged in at once. They needed a custom platform that could handle 15,000 students at the same time, was accessible to students with disabilities, and supported their unique teaching approach. They also wanted automated grading to reduce teacher workload, which their current platform could not do.

The Solution

We built a custom learning platform designed for high traffic during exams. We implemented smart caching for session management, real-time collaboration features, and a queue-based grading system. For automated grading, we built an AI assistant that reads course rubrics and provides draft grades with explanations for teacher review. We conducted a full accessibility audit and achieved compliance, verified by a third-party audit scoring 98/100.
