Families First is a non-profit that assists
over 40,000 families each year with
solutions to improve well being of
children in jeopardy by empowering families.


Perpetual Learning teamed up with
Families First to build a learning platform
to help families cope better when
social issues arise, becoming more
self-sufficient as a result.

ProbleM

  • Lack of courses to teach effective
    parenting during the transitions of
    divorce or parental separation
  • Default eCommerce gateway incompatible
    with Paypal
  • Manual certificate generation
    upon course completion
  • Lack of expertise in creation of multimedia
    learning content

Solution

  • Built a learning platform based on
    Open EdX
  • Built the first Paypal-based eCommerce
    solution for Open EdX by customizing
    the eCommerce flow to support Paypal
  • Created an automatic certificate generation
    workflow with a custom design and layout
  • Provided instructional design and video
    production services for content offered
  • Hosted platform on Amazon Web Services

Results
After the solutions were implemented, we:
  • Provided Families First with a
    comprehensive learning platform
    to build upon
  • Automated the process of generating
    learners’ certificates, which was done
    manually previously
  • Consolidated user’s payment process
    through Paypal integration

Upon completion, Families First
approached Perpetual Learning again
to re-design the Families First corporate
learning offering.
“I’ve greatly enjoyed my experience
working with Perpetual.
You have a great system in place
for delivering online and mobile
learning experience.” ​
