BeEducated

Outcome

The building of a reliable and effective educational platform 'BeEducated' was carried out with the use of expert knowledge and skill of the company's engineers. The new educational resource has met the requirements of the client and fully embodies their main idea. The introduced features and improvements, an engaging and intuitive user interface design made the platform popular and in demand. This allowed the client to significantly expand the consumer base and increase profits.

Several key options we solved:

Developed features for three types of consumers: authors, individuals, and employers.
The portal is equipped with a convenient video player with an auto switch of new modules.
Built-in a flexible system for collecting and performing statistics on courses' study progress.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The client turned to Computools with the idea to build a multifunctional educational portal that has required features for several groups of customers: create and get profit from their courses (author); get an education online and see progress (individuals), create and buy new courses for employees (employers).

BeEducated is an online educational platform, developed for the client by Computools's engineers, that allows to access the necessary knowledge at any time. The platform is suitable for both individual and group training. A user journey was developed for each category of portal users (author, individuals, employers) and the necessary tools were built-in to make using the platform convenient and efficient. For example, a company may provide limited or temporary access to courses for its employees, choosing the beginning and end of the training. The portal also presents a statistics page that collects information about courses taken and courses that are in the process. All data is displayed in accurate graphics and tables. There is also the possibility to filter the results by course, date, department, or individual user (only for corporate accounts).

Challenging collection of first users and course authors pool

The necessity to solve small problems throughout the project

Multifunctional capabilities for different types of users

High demand for offered services

Well-planned audience coverage and interaction model

Communication

Building a communication ecosystem in the early stages, Computools provides constant contact with the client, the ability to quickly resolve emerging issues, arrange an appointment, or hold a video meeting. Skype was used in this project, as it provides all the necessary functions.

Business Process Mapping

CONSULTING

A deep analysis of the project allows us to identify key goals, needs, and objectives. The company's specialists investigate and identify all interested parties and their goals to better understand the future tasks of the project. The study of ready-made solutions, competitors, and available technologies allows us to identify and select the proper solutions for the successful completion of tasks. Moreover, a search is carried out for possible obstacles (and solutions for them) and risks.

DESIGN

Based on the available analytical data, a key approach to project implementation and a technological stack are selected. The high-level architecture of the project helps to take into account all the necessary data and the specifics of certain tasks. Next, an interactive prototype is created and a project specification is prepared. Prototyping allows to explore the options and capabilities of a future page, identify potential bottlenecks, and make adjustments in the early stages.

ENGINEERING

Engineering begins with building a team, distributing roles, and holding an intro-meeting, where project details are discussed, tasks are distributed. Development is carried out according to the chosen methodology and necessarily includes intermediate testing. Final testing and stabilization of the finished solution are carried out according to the selected testing plan.

Interactive Prototype

Building an interactive prototype allows to explore the potential functionality of a web portal before it is actually developed. This is a convenient tool for identifying the strengths and weaknesses of a future web page, developing new features, and testing already defined.
