Imagine Portugal, a nation rich in history and potential, yet facing the challenge of ensuring its workforce remains competitive in the digital age. The Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) recognized the need to democratize knowledge, to build a bridge across the knowledge divide. But how do you reach every citizen, regardless of their location or background, and provide them with the skills they need to thrive? The challenge was significant, a call to action to empower a nation.
To address this challenge, they conceived an online educational initiative supported in the Open edX® platform that aimed at offering a diverse range of online courses focusing on social science subjects. However, one of the main hurdles they faced was the development of a multi-tenant platform installation with a unique infrastructure that required multiple custom developments to enable specific functionalities.
Introducing NAU, an ambitious online project by the FCT, aimed to revolutionize education and training on a national scale.
They sought to create a platform that could deliver high-quality MOOCs, accessible to all. They chose Open edX®, recognizing its potential for flexibility and reach. But they needed a partner who could truly understand their mission and deliver a robust, scalable solution. Edunext was chosen as the partner of choice, not just as an experienced technology provider, but as a collaborator committed to empowering Portugal’s workforce.
The collaboration between the FCT and edunext resulted in the creation of NAU, a national learning hub that has transformed the educational landscape in Portugal. The Portuguese government aimed to disseminate knowledge and equip individuals with educational resources, and edunext’s Open edX multisite platform made this possible. This wasn’t just about delivering courses; it was about building a community of learners, fostering a culture of continuous learning. The platform’s custom developments ensured seamless functionality, while Open edX® reports and analytic tools provided valuable data for continuous improvement.
NAU’s impact has been profound, with nearly 229,000 qualified professionals benefiting from the platform’s diverse courses. This wasn’t just about numbers; it was about transforming lives, opening doors to new career opportunities, and fostering a sense of empowerment. Individuals who previously had limited access to education now found themselves equipped with the skills they needed to succeed. This transformation has reverberated across Portugal’s workforce, contributing to the nation’s economic growth and social development.
