Netflix-Style EdTech Platform for Vocational Training

The Challenge

The Vocational Training (VT) and university education sector faced the urgent need to modernise the teaching of transversal skills (employability, entrepreneurship, sustainability). Existing resources tended to be theoretical and poorly engaging, and traditional LMS platforms lacked adapted content and competency-based assessment tools.

The challenge was to develop a digital solution capable of transforming educational modules into interactive and compelling learning experiences (“Netflix-style”), aligned with official frameworks such as EntreComp and the UN SDGs, and scalable enough to serve more than 1 million VT students in Spain while expanding into the EU and Latin America.

The Solution

GALEO has developed a cloud-native SaaS platform that integrates pedagogical content with Artificial Intelligence.

The solution is defined by an interactive and automated approach:

  1. Interactive Learning Experience: A web platform accessible from any device, offering educational modules enriched with project-based activities and simulations — replacing obsolete theoretical methods.
  2. Automated Assessment with AI: Implementation of tools that automate the teacher’s grade book, linking student activities directly to official learning outcomes and drastically reducing administrative burden.
  3. Scalable SaaS Model: The infrastructure requires no local installation at educational centres. It is managed entirely in the cloud to guarantee high availability, remote support, and automatic scalability during demand peaks.

Business Impact

Designed for initial deployment across more than 150 vocational training centres and Entrepreneurship Classrooms, the project projects significant impacts on educational quality and operational efficiency:

  • Improved Student Engagement: An estimated increase of up to 25% in student participation and course completion rates, driven by the interactive, AI-powered format.
  • Operational Efficiency: A 10–15% reduction in operational costs related to content delivery and manual assessment by teachers.
  • Deployment Agility: A 20–30% reduction in the time to deliver new transversal modules and competency-based courses.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Enables institutions to rapidly adapt to regulatory changes requiring competency-based learning and sustainability frameworks.

Architecture & Technology

The solution uses a containerised microservices architecture on AWS, ensuring security and flexibility.

  • Frontend & Delivery: Vue.js served via Amazon CloudFront for a seamless user experience.
  • Backend & Compute: Django REST APIs containerised on Amazon EKS (Kubernetes).
  • Data: Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL as the relational database and Amazon S3 for digital asset storage and AI-generated resources.
  • Security: Identity management with AWS IAM and Amazon Cognito; perimeter protection with AWS WAF.
  • Infrastructure: Automated deployment via Terraform (IaC).

Customer Review

“Transforming theoretical training modules into an immersive Netflix-style experience has captured our students’ engagement. The AI integration automatically assesses competencies by cross-referencing them with official learning outcomes, eliminating the excess of teacher bureaucracy.”
