Bridge2Practise Transformed: University of Sydney's Clinical Skills Platform Now Faster and More Feature-Rich
Bridge2Practise, a clinical skills training platform, has undergone a significant transformation. Partnering with Miroma Project Factory (MPF), the University of Sydney has updated the platform, resolving operational strain and enhancing its capabilities.
Previously, Bridge2Practise struggled with operational strain due to a growing backlog of bugs, performance issues, and unmet feature requests. The platform was also running on outdated technology, including a five-year-old version of MeteorJS and a deprecated database platform. MPF's intervention has turned this around.
MPF's team began by recovering lost server configurations and migrating data to MongoDB Atlas. They upgraded MeteorJS and implemented modern CI/CD pipelines, ensuring the platform's future maintainability and scalability. The team also introduced new features such as auto-archiving for inactive groups, an admin analytics dashboard, comparison video tooltips, written feedback tools, and a student view impersonation feature. These enhancements have improved usability for instructors, admins, and students alike.
Dr. Cate Madill, an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, commended MPF's work, highlighting improvements in the platform's reliability and user experience.
Following the transformation, Bridge2Practise is now fully operational, faster, and better equipped to support digital clinical education at scale. MPF continues to support the platform as the digital delivery partner, ensuring ongoing enhancements under a structured support agreement.
