Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) is a premier institution known for excellence in social sciences, public policy, and education. To expand its academic reach beyond physical campuses, TISS launched TISSx, a digital learning platform designed to deliver high quality education at scale.
01
TISS required a production-ready digital learning platform that could support complex academic workflows self paced and instructor led learning, peer review, and open response assessments while securely scaling to a large and diverse learner base. The platform also needed to empower faculty with independent course authoring, provide actionable analytics to administrators, and remain maintainable without disrupting live programs.
02
The objective was to build a learning management system closely aligned with TISS’s pedagogy and teaching models, while enabling faculty to independently create and manage courses. The platform needed to support secure paid programs with verified credentials and certificates, operate at enterprise-grade levels of scalability, reliability, and security, and provide meaningful analytics to inform both academic and operational decision making.
03
ManpraX designed and implemented a customized, Open edX based learning platform hosted on AWS. The solution combined scalable architecture, flexible course authoring, secure payments, and comprehensive analytics ensuring long term reliability, upgrade safety, and institutional growth for TISSx.
Deep LMS customization is essential to translate institutional pedagogy and academic workflows into effective digital learning experiences, rather than forcing institutions to adapt to rigid platforms.
Well designed, secure, and auditable payment and credentialing workflows are critical for monetization, compliance, and maintaining learner trust in paid digital education programs.
Close collaboration between academic stakeholders and engineering teams accelerates platform adoption and ensures that technical features directly support intended learning outcomes.
Educators onboarded across digital programmes.
Educator satisfaction reflecting usability and reliability.
Consistently strong course completion rates.
Secure paid operations with clear performance visibility.
