Challenges

  • Privacy & Security Concerns: Users and institutions required strong safeguards for personal data, especially in communication and assessments.

  • Admin Oversight & Feedback: Institutions required a centralized dashboard to monitor activity, manage user data, and collect structured feedback.

  • Cross-Platform Usability: The platform had to work equally well on desktop and mobile to support all types of users.
