Case Study: Rackspace Cloud University achieves 70k+ participants and 200% traffic growth with YourMembership's CrowdWisdom LMS

Rackspace Cloud University more than 70k participants in first two years

Rackspace Cloud University (CloudU) needed to migrate from a heavily customized Moodle installation to a more robust, stable, and user-friendly LMS to deliver education programming that would raise brand awareness and reinforce Rackspace’s thought leadership in emerging cloud and internet technologies. Rackspace engaged YourMembership to provide CrowdWisdom™ LMS (ymlearning®) to deliver the improved functionality, stability, usability, and aesthetics required.

YourMembership completed an expedited implementation (about two months) and relaunched CloudU on CrowdWisdom™ LMS as a central hub for registration, certificate programs, MOOCs, on-demand videos and community discussion groups. The relaunch attracted more than 70,000 participants in under two years, enabled advanced certification and multiple MOOC programs, and helped drive a 200% increase in traffic from blogs and social media, markedly boosting Reach and engagement for Rackspace Cloud University.
