The problem

In 2009, SD-Con began a project to build an entirely new platform from the ground up to serve as the most powerful tool for digital companies to create online management experiences. The old platform was built with outdated technologies, and there were a number of user experience problems to solve in the process of moving the platform to Javascript. The primary goals for the project were reducing barriers to collaboration, and making the platform both easier for new users, but with plenty of room to scale for advanced users.

Bringing it together

As a consulting company, we cover the diverse facets of integrated management systems (IMS), process and method management as well as compliance management.
Our services are geared towards strategic sustainability and digitization

An extensible plugin ecosystem usable by everyone

The most powerful aspect of the platform is the ability to create custom plugins for any content. Out of the box these can be made configurable with minimal effort from developers. Users can then edit everything using a common configuration interface.

Next-generation learning experiences

The flexibility of the product allowed for developers to create engaging interactive experiences as highly configurable plugins that could then be used and manipulated by learning designers.

Bringing 3D into learning

One really cool example is the 3D screen plugin. Learning designers can load any model into it and then configure camera positions to animate to for each section.

Interactivity

Learners can then be directed to specific parts of the model and shown labels. They’re also able to click and drag to orbit around and freely explore at any time.

Animation

Learning designers can pick an animation included in the model to play or loop for any section without having to use any complex animation tools.

Project outcomes

Ultimately the project has successfullly become a foundation for their next generation management platform.
