MS-Leaders

Client Background

MS-Leaders.org is an online educational resource for MS treating clinicians designed to provide cutting edge information and resources to help support patient care. MS-Leaders.org provides a variety of engaging and clinically relevant educational platforms to deliver a breadth of content to meet the needs of busy clinicians.

Challenges

Like many health education organizations, MS-Leaders accumulated a wealth of content and data regarding MS research and treatment. However, MS-Leaders lacked a clear and effective way to deliver this amount of content to its users. They also needed a better system of organizing and maintaining their existing content as well rapidly emerging materials on new research and developments in MS.

Solutions

AllianceTek, a software solutions company with specialized expertise in online e-learning platforms, analyzed MS-Leader’s situation and offered a solution that fit their unique needs. In order to empower MS-Leaders to maintain their content and manage their users, AllianceTek proposed an Administration Panel that would manage the information on their website, generate automatic data reports, progress tracking, and include an “ask-the-expert” section so users could interact with instructors. Through the admin panel, admins could see visitor tracks that would display, for example, which users watched a video conference or attended a survey.

Implementation

AllianceTek implemented the proposed solution through a CMS-based website that included AllianceTek’s custom e-learning platform. The e-learning platform was developed with C# and ASP.net on the front end while the back end is managed by SQL Server 2005. AllianceTek also created an administration website where users can upload and manage conferences, faculty, and user registration.AllianceTek also optimized the code for faster performance on the client website.

Result

With the solution seamlessly implemented and MS-Leader’s vast content under control, MS-Leaders is now able to deliver a more effective e-learning experience for its users while decreasing their own overhead maintenance costs. Users can now register and navigate easily through the content from the website, view faculty information, workshops, and video conferences, listen to audio files of conferences, as well as pose questions to an “ask-the-expert” panel.
