Sector(s)

The NOVAPRO project is an innovative e-learning platform in the field of education, specially developed to support learning in the context of professional training. Combining flexibility, interactivity and personalisation, this platform offers a learning experience tailored to the specific needs of apprentices and encourages them to progress throughout their course.

One of the major challenges of the project was to digitise the educational book. Apprentices can now access a digital version of their manual, with detailed tracking of their progress. This tracking includes not only the chapters and skills covered, but also the activities carried out, as well as the validation of these by the teachers, enabling precise, real-time pedagogical monitoring.

The platform also offers a range of additional services, such as the creation of tailor-made virtual courses, the management of interactive portfolios, and various other features designed to enrich the learning experience and meet the expectations of trainers and learners.

Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen

The modules were selected specifically to meet the client's needs. Each module went through an in-depth analysis, taking into account key criteria such as security, management of updates and responsiveness to reported problems. We were careful to select only proven and reliable modules, excluding those used by the community without prior verification, in order to guarantee a stable, long-term solution.
