Overview

Cuorse.com is an educational platform designed to deliver flexible online learning for schools, colleges, and corporate training programs. The client required a scalable, modular LMS that supports structured learning paths, role-based access, and performance tracking.

Our Contribution

A7 provided full-cycle development for the Kurs.com platform:

• Designed the course architecture, user roles, and permission models
• Implemented progress tracking, content management, and assignment modules
• Built a responsive web interface for both students and instructors
• Developed an admin panel for school managers and training providers
• Delivered backend services and API integrations

Results

• Platform supports 10,000+ concurrent learners
• Increased engagement via gamified progress system
• Used by dozens of training institutions and online schools

Business analysis and requirement gathering for LMS structure

Before writing a single line of code, our team conducted a series of structured workshops and interviews with the client’s stakeholders — school administrators, educators, and technical leads. The goal was to define the functional scope of the platform, prioritize features, and understand how users interact with learning systems across different educational settings.
We mapped out user personas, course lifecycle flows, and role-based permissions. Our business analysts produced a detailed requirements specification, including:

• Course creation and publishing logic
• Assignment and grading workflows
• User progression rules and notifications
• Reporting and dashboard needs for administrators
• Scalability and compliance expectations

This phase formed the foundation for a focused and cost-effective implementation process.

UX design for learner/instructor/admin roles

With a clear understanding of how each role interacts with the LMS, we created a user experience model tailored to each profile:

• Students: Simple navigation, progress tracking, deadlines, and easy access to course materials
• Instructors: Tools for publishing content, managing submissions, grading, and communicating with learners
• Admins: Access to system configuration, course approval workflows, user permissions, and analytics dashboards

Wireframes and prototypes were developed and validated through feedback loops with actual users from each role category. Accessibility, visual clarity, and mobile responsiveness were a priority from day one.

Frontend and backend development with role-based logic

We implemented the full LMS platform using a modular and scalable architecture:

• Frontend: Built with a modern JS framework, optimized for responsiveness and performance
• Backend: Designed using RESTful APIs and a microservice pattern to handle content delivery, assessments, user authentication, and progress logs
• Role-based access: Integrated deeply across the platform to ensure each user only sees features relevant to their role
• Secure authentication and session management with optional multi-factor login
• Content versioning: Teachers could update material without disrupting active student sessions

Testing of progress tracking, assessments, and UI flows

We conducted multiple rounds of manual and automated QA to ensure the platform performs reliably under various usage scenarios. Specific attention was paid to:

• Edge cases in student progress tracking (e.g., resuming incomplete modules)
• Assessment scoring logic and submission timing
• User interface responsiveness on different devices and browsers
• Data integrity between student records, reports, and admin dashboards

Our QA team used a mix of unit testing, regression testing, and usability testing to validate both functionality and user satisfaction.

Deployment and integration with institutional systems

Once tested and approved, the LMS was deployed to cloud infrastructure, with options for self-hosted and hybrid environments. We also supported integrations with institutional systems such as:

• Student Information Systems (SIS)
• Email and calendar platforms for scheduling
• Single sign-on (SSO) solutions for campus-wide access

We ensured proper monitoring, rollback strategies, and administrator training during the launch phase.

Ongoing support and feature expansion

After launch, A7 continued to support Cuorse.com with iterative updates, based on user feedback and analytics. Enhancements included:

• Gamified achievements for learner motivation
• Support for live sessions and hybrid classrooms
• Bulk user management tools for large institutions
• Localization and multi-language support

We also introduced a structured feedback loop between instructors and the dev team, which ensured that user needs were constantly reflected in future releases.
