ClickSkills.in's Journey with Multilingual LMS in India's Interiors
ClickSkills.in expanded its reach in India's interiors by adopting a multilingual LMS, breaking language barriers and enhancing educational accessibility.
The Challenge
ClickSkills.in faced a significant challenge in reaching the diverse and linguistically varied population of India's interior regions. The language barrier posed a major obstacle, as their existing LMS was primarily in English, limiting access to non-English speakers. This restriction was hindering their goal to provide equal educational opportunities across India, especially in rural areas where regional languages are predominant.
Our Solution
To address this challenge, ClickSkills.in adopted a multilingual LMS capable of delivering content in multiple Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, and others. This initiative involved not only translating the existing content but also culturally adapting the coursework to ensure relevance and engagement. They also trained their educators to create and manage content in various languages, ensuring a seamless transition for learners.
