KVUC had a learning system that drained both teachers and students of energy. Together with KOLLAB, they turned resistance into motivation and implemented Moodle as a learning platform that actually inspires learning and makes digital teaching a success.
A system that created more resistance than motivation
At KVUC, digitization had gotten off to a rocky start. A previous learning management system had generated so much resistance that even the most experienced instructors had to throw up their hands. It just didn't work. And when the instructors aren't on board, the students don't get much out of it either.
At the same time, digitalization was digitalization on the agenda of the Ministry of Education, and the need to find a real solution became urgent.
But how do you make the right choice in a jungle of platforms, features, and technical details?
KVUC needed someone who could guide them safely and securely through the process.
A choice based on data, testing, and collaboration
Enter KOLLAB, recommended by both CBS and RUC. Together with KVUC, they drew up a plan: the requirements had to be identified, three systems had to be tested, and users had to be at the center from start to finish.
Moodle was among the candidates and ended up winning: "There are quite high start-up costs involved in changing systems, so it had to be just right. And we found it," says Katrine Gorristen, external project manager at KVUC.
From August to March, testing, evaluation, and fine-tuning took place. With KOLLAB as a technical sparring partner, every corner of Moodle was turned upside down and improved when something was lacking.
Users first
KOLLAB also tackled one of the most overlooked but most important elements of digital transformation: user adoption. How do you get teachers who are used to blackboards and paper to embrace e-learning with enthusiasm? Katrine Gorristen explains: "It's quite a big step. There wasn't much motivation, but KOLLAB changed that."
With training, support, and hands-on guidance, they created a new atmosphere at KVUC: "They have created a good vibe around Moodle. The teachers want to use it to its full potential, and that rubs off on the students. Now they have easy access to extra material and the opportunity to immerse themselves even more in their subjects," says Katrine.
A platform that works and motivates
With Moodle as the new LMS, teachers have become curious, students engaged, and e-learning has gone from being a chore to an educational experience. Previous skepticism has turned into increased engagement and academic strength. "It's become fun to teach again," says Katrine. "And that means our students want to learn."
… And the collaboration? It continues. Even though another company was chosen to host Moodle, there was no doubt at KVUC:“We will continue to use KOLLAB as consultants. They are responsive, competent, and easy to work with. I would gladly recommend them to others,” sheconcludes.
