Industry:

 Education

Business results:
 Reliable modern online platform for learning Dutch

 A flexible and easy-to-use environment for teachers

 Thousands of well-educated students.

Client:
On the NT2 project, we have a partnership client -– Enigmatry BV and
ThiemeMeulenhoff.
Enigmatry BV is our shareholder, a Dutch IT company which makesmaking
smart business applications for business.. They invent, build, design and
maintain these applications and are always workingconstantly work on new
software solutions.
ThiemeMeulenhoff is an established publisher and a well-known name in The
Netherlands. The 225-year-old publishing house focuses on education and
supplies teaching materials for primary, secondary, and vocational education.
ThiemeMeulenhoff also offers courses for adults who want to learn Dutch as
a second language, also known asor NT2.
These two companies teamed up for the quality investmentinvestments such
as the NT2 project by blending their expertise in content, marketing and
sales expertise with the best fitting, custom-tailored software solution.

Challenges:
A great deal of ThiemeMeulenhoff's teaching material is offered in an online
learning environment. MuchA lot is expected of this online learning
environment:
 it must be available at all times;
 the teaching materials must load quickly;
 the technology must be reliable.
To It was essential to modernise the environment further to develop the
online learning environment in the coming years, it was essential to
modernize the environment.. It soon became clearapparent that a new
technology had to be developed to make the teaching material available
quickly and accurately.

Solution:
For the teaching methods for primary and secondary education, we, as part
of the Enigmatry team, built a new, replacement platform on which the
teaching methods Zebra+, IJsbreker+ and Code+ are supported. These
methods are meant for non-native speakers with a low and medium level of
education to learn Dutch quickly and efficiently.
ThiemeMeulenhoff supplied the teaching methods and updated content. We
have implemented a greatan excellent environment for updating existing
content and the possibility to easily createof creating a new one quickly. The
result is a fast, flexible platform with a clearstraightforward interface.
Content prepared by ThiemeMeulenhoff is usinguses the QTI (Question and
Test Interoperability) specification. This specification is a widely used
standard for the representationrepresenting and exchange ofexchanging
assessment content and results between different assessment systems. It
covers various types of assessment items, including multiple-choice, gap
match, hot text, and more. It also supports audiosaudio and videosvideo as
well as voice recordings. To make QTI questions easy to create or change,
we came up withdevised the idea to implement a QTI editor based on
CKEditor. In this way, people from ThiemeMeulenhoff can easily maintain
content without knowledge of QTI specifications.
In addition to the question manipulation module, NT2 providesallows
teachers with the ability to track students' progress and gain insight into
their responses to exercises and tests. NT2 has a highly convenient and
intuitive system for administration. New institutes with new teachers and
students can be easily incorporated into the system at any time, making the
initial use of this platform extremely easy.

Our team comprises developers with varying levels of seniority and
expertise, each bringing unique perspectives and skill sets to the table.
Additionally, the team includes dedicated testers who play a vital role in
ensuring the quality and reliability of the software. ToThe team adopts the
Scrum framework to facilitate effective collaboration and streamline the
development process, the team adopts the Scrum framework.

Outcome and current status:

Because of its success, it was decided to make an enhanced version which
development is currently in progress. It implies the usage of the latest
technologies as well as the development and implementation of more useful
functionalities.

Conclusion:

team played an essential role in development ofdeveloping this application.
