The Knowledge Avatars™ project involved migrating a complex Drupal 7 site to Drupal 10 while retaining core functionality and enhancing the platform’s flexibility. Certain non-viable features were reimagined with custom alternatives tailored to client needs. The migration ensured a seamless user experience for creating digital tutors. The platform was optimized for multilingual support and mobile responsiveness.
- Migrate a highly customized Drupal 7 platform to Drupal 10 without loss of functionality.
- Retain and enhance complex features such as concept mapping, integrated testing, activity modules, and user-generated content.
- Rebuild deprecated or unsupported Drupal 7 features in Drupal 10 with custom solutions.
- Optimize for multilingual support, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility compliance.
- Improve platform performance, user experience, and SEO readiness.
The project began with a thorough technical audit of the existing Drupal 7 site to map out content structures, relationships, and custom modules. A hybrid migration approach was adopted using contributed migration tools alongside custom scripts tailored for the platform’s unique data models.
Custom Drupal 10 modules were developed to replace legacy functionality that had no direct upgrade path, ensuring continuity and improved scalability. The frontend was rebuilt with responsive layouts, semantic HTML, and accessibility best practices. A streamlined authoring interface was also introduced to simplify the process of creating Knowledge Avatars.
Performance and SEO were enhanced through optimized metadata, mobile-first design, and structured content output. Throughout the build, iterative collaboration with the client ensured that platform goals, UX needs, and educational outcomes were maintained.
The successful migration to Drupal 10 delivered a modern, scalable, and flexible version of the Knowledge Avatars™ platform. It now supports a broader global audience with multilingual and mobile-optimized capabilities, enabling educators and learners to benefit from a powerful, personalized digital learning environment that’s ready for future innovation.
