Success story

Digitization of education

Educational institution GO! needed a modern solution that could give students an independent way of developing their strengths and weaknesses by using a variety of learning materials in line with government-issued focus goals.

GO!, a Belgian government organization, partnered with Numble to create a modern, responsive learning platform with mobile and tablet apps. The platform helps students independently develop their skills using diverse educational materials aligned with government goals. Using Scrum, we developed both front-end and back-end applications, leveraging .NET Core, AngularJS, and Cordova. The result is a scalable, user-friendly tool that earned the Henry van de Velde Award 2020 for its innovative approach to education.

Challenge

GO! needed a modern solution to enable students to independently develop their strengths and weaknesses using diverse learning materials aligned with government-issued focus goals. The website had to be flexible and scalable, with centralized content management for a large team. Additionally, a mobile solution was required to enhance engagement and efficiency.

Solution

GO! partnered with educators, Leap Forward and Numble to create a responsive learning platform, including mobile and tablet apps. We began with workshops, interviews, and qualitative research with stakeholders to identify gaps. We then entered a co-creation phase to design solutions that aligned educational goals with student needs and current information consumption habits. As part of the UX and UI team, we provided technical analysis and insights into various processes and workflows. Using the Scrum methodology, we executed a fast-paced two-week release cycle and facilitated content addition during development. We developed both the back-end and front-end applications, with the front-end wrapped as a hybrid mobile app for Android and iOS using AngularJS and Cordova. .NET Core was utilized to quickly roll out APIs and support the front-end development team.

Results

The platform allows students to learn at their own pace while promoting positive social skills, such as helping each other. Teachers can share and co-create learning materials. This human-centered approach earned the project the Henry van de Velde Award 2020 in the Collaborative Award category.

Future Outlook

The collaboration continues with ongoing optimization and innovation of the digital platform, including the integration of new features to further support GO!’s mission.

NIBC bank

For NIBC we have built multiple websites to communicate their different banking brands. Umbraco as a user friendly content management system not only makes it insightful to manage content but extremely fast and reliable for visitors to find the right information.

Digitising data feeds of Belgium ports

Belgium’s major ports faced inefficiencies due to outdated and fragmented Port Community Systems, which made data integration and consolidation difficult. The goal was to centralize and streamline data into a unified digital platform to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

Defensie België

Defensie Belgium needed a new website that was informative, user-friendly, and capable of handling extensive information. The site required features for simultaneous updates by multiple users, automatic digital campaign launches, and an integrated job system with CRM. It also needed to monitor user behavior and campaign performance while ensuring GDPR compliance.
