Distance Learning Centre
The challenge
Distance Learning Centre had traditionally been providing their courses offline, sending out by post the course materials to all their learners. It was rapidly becoming evident that this was not only very inefficient but was also a costly way of doing business in the internet age. Providing online courses would both be cost-effective and offer a much better learning experience for their clients.
Their immediate objective was looking to reduce the considerable overhead of providing paper-based course materials while simultaneously providing near-instant access to these materials as soon as enrolment had taken place.
Distance Learning Centre was looking for an LMS that could provide the following:
- Efficiently distribute the right course material to the right learners at the right time
- Accurately track learner engagement and training outcomes
- Easily add new courses
- Easily maintain and improve existing learning content
- An intuitive and easy to use User-interface
Why Hubken?
After looking at several different LMS providers, Distance Learning Centre chose Hubken to host and support the Moodle platform because the company offered a high-quality service at a competitive price with an excellent service record.
Given their key needs – a cost-effective solution with good tech support – Hubken’s Moodle LMS solution stood out to Distance Learning Centre, which valued both the flexibility of the solution and the fact that Hubken’s solutions included unlimited tech support as standard.

The solution

Streamlining processes for better learning experiences
Distance Learning Centre needed an established LMS for hosting its growing range of online courses. Based on its own research, the Distance Learning Centre approached Hubken with the idea that Moodle LMS would be best suited to their requirements. During an initial discovery stage with Hubken’s LMS experts, it was clear that Moodle would be their ideal LMS, particularly because it was seen to be easy to set up and maintain and would create exactly the right professional image for their hundreds of online learners.
Learners are now able to self-register on the LMS, choose the course(s) that they want to study, and the course material is now sent electronically, eliminating all the previously time-consuming and expensive manual processes previously involved in providing the course material they needed.
The LMS is also fully integrated with an e-commerce gateway so that candidates can quickly and easily purchase their chosen course along with any other related product.
This process has seen considerable resource saving for the Distance Learning Centre, whose staff were previously heavily involved in directly supporting students.
The results
The Moodle LMS is the hub of a large part of their business, and it continues to grow bigger as Distance Learning Centre develop more online courses. With Hubken’s expertise and support, significant amounts of their time and resources have been freed by the move away from the labour-intensive enrolment and delivery process to one that largely runs itself. Distance Learning Centre teams are now able to focus on strategy and long-term planning instead of a succession of administrative and support tasks.
