Executive Summary

FilmSkills, a provider of industry-standard motion picture and television production training, wanted to enhance its Drupal-based training platform with instructor management tools, individual student access paths, enhanced assessments, and post-completion certifications. Net Solutions delivered targeted feature additions that strengthened the platform for both instructors and independent learners.

The Challenge

FilmSkills’ platform lacked the instructor controls and student-facing features expected of a leading professional training provider.

No Question Manager

Instructors had no tool to create, edit, or organize quiz questions across modules independently. Every assessment update required developer involvement, slowing the content lifecycle significantly.

Missing Individual Access Path

Students learning independently outside university programs had no dedicated access structure within the platform. This excluded a significant segment of potential learners.

Limited Assessment Functionality

The existing test and quiz features were basic and did not deliver the interactive, reliable experience the platform’s professional audience expected. Improvement was overdue.

No Certification Flow

There was no automated mechanism to issue downloadable certificates when learners completed a course. Credential management was a manual process prone to delays and inconsistency.

No Re-Subscription Option

Learners who completed a module could not return to it once marked as done. This prevented revisiting material and reduced the long-term value of each course purchase.

Our Approach

Net Solutions worked within the existing Drupal architecture to extend functionality without disrupting the user experience. New instructor tooling was built as an admin layer, while the student-facing interface was updated to support individual class access, improved assessments, and a certification flow. Technologies used – Drupal, AWS.

The Solution

Net Solutions delivered enhanced instructor and student functionality on the existing Drupal platform.

01.

Question Manager

Instructors gained a dedicated tool to add, edit, and delete quiz questions for each module independently. Assessment content could now be updated at any time without development support.

02.

Individual Student Access

A new individual tab and class structure gave non-university students a dedicated pathway into course content. Independent learners could now access lessons, tests, and projects in a self-contained environment.

03.

Enhanced Assessments

The test and quiz delivery experience was rebuilt with a significantly improved user interface. Learners received a smoother, more professional assessment experience appropriate to the caliber of the instructors.

04.

Certificate Downloads

Learners who completed a course could download a certificate of completion automatically. Credentialing became instant, consistent, and fully self-served.

05.

Module Re-Subscription

Learners could re-subscribe to completed modules to revisit content. This added meaningful long-term value to course purchases and supported ongoing skill development.

Impact

The updated platform strengthened FilmSkills’ product for both institutional and individual users.

Instructor Independence

Instructors could manage all assessment content without raising development tickets or waiting for changes to be deployed. This gave FilmSkills greater agility in keeping course materials current.
