Challenge
The need was to build a tutor
management system that could provide the students one to one or a
small group lessons.
Some of the key
requirements of the system were:
- A virtual classroom environment
that could meet the needs of keeping track of students' progress
and class schedules.
- A virtual classroom environment
that could interact directly with his tutor and ask questions there
and then.
- Scheduling software that could
allow the students/ guardians could schedule a class at their own
suitable timing and tutors could revert back and confirm or decline
the request.
- Rating and feedback mechanism to
provide effective services.
- An Admin section that could keep
track of over or under bookings and tutor ratings.
Solution
The client collaborated with Cygnet
Infotech to deliver Rich web based LMS application that acted as a
collaboration platform between various user groups such as
administrators, centers, and students.
Other key features offered
by the solution were:
- Course uploading facility that
allowed the centers to upload specific courses. Course instructors
also had full control over all settings for a course, including
restricting access to other instructors.
- The system offered the privilege
to design content on topic-based or discussion-focused
formats.
- A secure system providing
authentication and authorization to users based on profiles.
- A scheduler tool was provided
using which the student could select their preferred date and time
for learning. The tutor could view the list of preferred times
given by the students. He could then approve or disapprove the
requests.
- A Calendar tool was provided for
the tutor where he could mention his preferred timings and days for
teaching.
- Integration with whiteboard. The
system was also compatible with various hardware's (printers, point
and click devices and tablet pens).
- The system offered features
similar to contemporary classroom methods of teaching where the
student could view whatever the instructor wrote at the same time
the students could give their own inputs using raise a hand feature
using the whiteboard. The system offered a platform for active
participation from both the students and tutor. The software was
also equipped with session recording facility that allowed the
students to go through the recorded sessions at their ease.
- The software provided an
assessment module for progress tracking.
- The system also provided an
inbuilt feedback and rating mechanism allowing the students to rate
the session once it was over.
- The system provided an inbuilt CRM
that kept track of Enrolment related information. The system also
allowed tracking of the left over hours purchased from the
administrator.
- The data for each Online/Offline
Application Form was retained in the system and associated with
each Student ID.
- The system provided for online
payment or donation by integrating with different payment
gateways.
