Digital Learning Platform for RMIT Online.
End-to-end online learning infrastructure. Deployed in six weeks. Running since 2017.
01/ the brief
A world-class university. No online platform. An ambition to reach learners across Asia-Pacific.
RMIT Online is the digital arm of RMIT University — one of Australia's leading technical universities. To reach learners at scale across the Asia-Pacific region, they needed a complete end-to-end digital learning platform built from scratch, aligned with their cloud-first strategy, and capable of running with 99.9% availability from day one.
- Traditional face-to-face delivery needed to extend to fully online — covering enrolment, payment, LMS, assessment, and accreditation
- Course material needed migrating and uplifting with dynamic, interactive instructional design
- The platform had to integrate with Student Management Systems and align with RMIT's cloud-first ICT governance
02/ the solution
Xen.ed platform, course migration, and SMS integration — live in six weeks.
Crystal Delta built RMIT Online's Digital Learning Platform on Xen.ed infrastructure, migrated existing course content using Crane, and integrated with Student Management Systems — delivered and live within six weeks.
What's under the hood
- End-to-end Xen.ed platform covering enrolment, payment, LMS, student management, assessment, and accreditation
